中国已实施电动汽车动力电池回收利用国家标准。据IT-Home称，试点项目报告镍、钴和锰等关键材料的回收率超过99%。市场监管总局最近批准了5项附加标准，使总数达到22项。这些标准涵盖退役电动汽车电池的一般要求、管理程序和拆解方法。

Standards, including the “Vehicle power battery recycling and dismantling specification” and “Vehicle power battery remaining energy detection”, have already been widely applied across the industry in China. Some companies achieve nickel-cobalt-manganese recovery rates of 99.6% and lithium recovery rates of 96.5%, supporting greener, more sustainable EV battery management while generating economic, social, and ecological benefits.

市场监管总局、工业和信息化部正在组建国家技术委员会，对电池回收进行规范化。该委员会汇集了原材料供应、电池生产、回收和拆解、化学加工和材料再利用等利益相关者。它满足了汽车、船舶和能源存储应用的电池回收需求，预计还会制定额外的国家标准。

中国还积极参与电动汽车电池回收国际标准化。专家为涵盖二次寿命电池性能评估、分类系统和报废电池回收的一般指南的全球标准做出贡献。中国主导的提案《电池回收利用深度放电通用指南》已被批准为国际电工委员会国际标准项目。目前，近40名中国专家参加了国际电池技术委员会，确保在标准制定过程中有充分代表性。

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology emphasises enforcing mandatory safety standards for lithium batteries, including the “电动自行车用锂离子电池安全技术条件”. The use of retired batteries in applications such as e-bikes is prohibited. Mandatory standards across different lithium battery applications are being formulated and updated to ensure safe, efficient, and sustainable recycling practices.
