2025 Power Battery Sustainable Reuse Safety Management White Paper

The 2025 Power Battery Sustainable Reuse Safety Management White Paper, jointly released by Shanghai Weixiang Zhongyi New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., Shanghai Institute of Chemical Industry Testing Co., Ltd., and TÜV Rheinland, addresses safety design, testing, and verification for the step-by-step utilization of used power batteries, including reuse, repurposing, and remanufacturing. It introduces detection methods based on international and UN standards, and provides product design solutions for new battery uses. The white paper highlights the EU Battery Regulation (2023/1542) and its definitions of Re-Use, Re-Purposing, and Re-Manufacturing, aligning with IEC, EN, and UL standards. It establishes a three-level classification system for old, waste, and bad batteries to support transportation safety. Aimed at bridging gaps between international and domestic standards, it offers technical consultation and market suggestions for producers and practitioners, promoting unified safety management for sustainable reuse of power batteries.
