B[The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology held a symposium on the development of the new energy storage industry] On September 24, the Electronic Information Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology organized a symposium on the development of the new energy storage industry on September 23, 2026. The meeting focused on listening to opinions and suggestions on quality improvement of energy storage products and systems, construction of standard systems, and industry standard management, and discussed promoting high-quality development of the industry through standardization and safety measures. Director Yang Xudong of the Electronic Information Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology attended the meeting and introduced the relevant situation. At the meeting, the Electronic Information Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology introduced the recent work progress, the "15th Five-Year Plan" related plans for new batteries and the next work considerations based on the current development status and background of the industry. Each participating unit communicated and spoke based on its own development reality, and put forward opinions and suggestions on the situation and problems faced by industrial development.
The meeting emphasized that the new energy storage industry is an emerging pillar industry actively cultivated by the country. The industry is currently in a stage of rapid development. It must adhere to goal orientation and problem orientation and promote healthy and standardized development of the industry: First, promote product quality improvement, strengthen the implementation of national standards such as lithium-ion battery production quality management, and comprehensively improve the reliability and safety of energy storage products. The second is to improve the construction of the standard system, make up for the shortcomings in standards in subdivided fields, accelerate the formulation of mandatory national standards such as safety grade evaluation specifications for lithium battery packs for electric energy storage systems, and lead the development of the industry with standards. The third is to strengthen the standardized management of the industry, improve the industrial governance mechanism, promote communication and exchanges between government and enterprises on a regular basis, and promote the healthy coordinated progress of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain.
