On September 14, 2024,  the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) issued notice to call for comments on 9 projects of national mandatory standard. Five of the projects are related to vehicle security or components, and the key information and the purpose for revision/drafting these standards, are summarized as below: 

Standard    Name

Scope    and Main Contents

Drafting/Revision    Purpose

Standard    to be Replaced

Speed meters for motor   vehicle and motorcycle

It specifies the   requirements and test methods of speed meters for automotives and motorcycles   under loading conditions, and is applicable to speed meters of category M, N,   L motor vehicle.

At present, the iteration   speed of domestic automotive instruments is quite fast, and the display mode   has changed greatly, therefore the presently effective standard GB15082-2008   will not be sufficient for the development and change of the speed meters that   are used nowadays.

GB 15082-2008

Performance Requirements   and Testing Methods for Brake Assist Systems (BAS) of Light Vehicles

It specifies the term   definitions, performance requirements and test methods for light vehicle   brake assist systems (BAS). It applies to M1 and N1 vehicles as specified in   GB/T 15089. The main technical contents include: general technical   requirements; Performance requirements (Type A BAS performance requirements,   Type B BAS performance requirements); Test methods (test variables, test   equipment, test conditions, test methods); Type A BAS test method; B-bas test   method. etc.

There is no corresponding   national standard in China that stipulates performance requirements and test   methods of light vehicle brake assist system (BAS). But with the greatly   increasing use of BAS, it is conducive to draft a mandatory standard to   improve the development of testing work, and to guide and regulate the   progress and development of automotive active safety projects.

Newly-formulated

Performance requirements   and testing methods for electronic stability control system (ESC) for light vehicles

It applies to electronic   stability control systems for M1 and N1 vehicles. The performance   requirements and test methods of electronic stability control system for   light vehicles are specified.
  Once the planned standard revision is approved, it will transpose the   original voluntary standard into a mandatory one.

According to the survey   and analysis results, for M1 and N1 light vehicles, most models have been   equipped with ESC system, and the ESC system equipment rate is gradually   increasing.
  Drafting a national mandatory standard will support government management and   promote industrial progress.

GB/T 30677-2014

Performance requirements   and testing methods for electronic stability control system (ESC) for   heavy-duty vehicles

It applies to electronic   stability control system for M2 and M3, N2, N3 vehicles, but is not   applicable to N3 vehicles with a maximum design total mass of more than   25,000 kg. It will specify terms and definitions, general requirements,   performance requirements, test conditions and test methods of electronic   stability control system for heavy duty vehicles.

For M2, M3, N2, N3, as   well as some buses and operating vehicles, the ESC system has been mandatory   through the relevant standards of public security, transportation and other   authorities. The ESC system equipment rate is gradually rising for such   vehicle models in China. The ECS sector scale and application scope has grown   mature enough for implementing a mandatory standard.

GB/T 38185-2019

The stipulation protecting   drivers from being injured by motor vehicle steering mechanism

It applies to M1 and N1   vehicles, as well as multi-purpose trucks. Compared with the currently   effective standard GB 11557-2011, the main revisions will take place on model   range and some technical requirements:

Steering mechanisms such   as steering plates, steering columns and steering gear has been one of the   biggest reasons that caused driver's injury in front crash accidents. Several   factors changes for the management of steering mechanisms: the emergence of   the half-width steering wheel steering mechanism and the increase of the   number of new energy models have brought higher challenges to the passive   safety and electric safety performance of vehicles; many places in China have   canceled the restrictions on pickup trucks entering the city, making the road   traffic environment more complicated.
  Therefore, the currently effective standard GB 11557-2011 is not well adapted   to the detection of new products and can not guide the development of new technologies.

GB 11557-2011

For foreign stakeholders, although the call-for-comment period ended on October 15, 2024, it is still very necessary to keep up with relevant updates of the aforementioned projects, as mandatory standards initiate more impacts on products, and are directly relate with market access management.
