On February 24, 2023, the Standardization Administration of China (SAC) and the National Energy Administration (NEA) jointly issued the Guidelines for the Construction of New Energy Storage Standard System (hereinafter referred to as “the Guideline”).
The Guidelines lists out a total of 205 new energy storage standards. They were divided into eight categories, including general basics, planning and design, equipment testing, grid connection operation, inspection and monitoring, operation and maintenance, and safety and emergency. Among them, there are 158 standards relevant to electrochemical energy storage, 39 standards relevant to physical energy storage, and 2 standards for general terminology, graphic and text symbols.
The Guidelines proposes that in 2023, more than 100 new energy storage key standards will be revised, energy storage power plant standards will be formulated and revised more quickly, and standard pre-research will be conducted. Furthermore, the security standards system will be established and improved as soon as possible, and the new energy storage standards system, considering the construction needs of the new power system, will be formed preliminarily. 

By 2025, there will be a more comprehensive series of standards in electrochemical energy storage, compressed air energy storage, super-magnetic energy storage, and other fields. Besides, a new energy storage standard system adapting to technological innovation trends, meeting the needs of industrial development, and benchmarking international advanced levels will be incrementally constructed.
