China enforces first national solid-state battery standard (GB/T 43568-2026)

Solid State Battery Market 2025 to 2032: Commercialization Trajectory and the Electrification of Energy Storage
What Changed

Effective July 1, 2026, China's GB/T 43568-2026 standard mandates that automotive 'all-solid-state' batteries must contain less than 5% liquid electrolyte by weight. This regulatory shift eliminates ambiguous 'semi-solid' marketing and forces manufacturers to prove genuine factory readiness through rigorous vacuum and thermal testing. The rule aims to standardize technical classifications across the automotive and energy storage sectors.
