On March 11, 2025, the Standardization Administration of China (SAC) announced the decision to initiate revision projects of 28 national standards, including:
GB/T 15098-2008 The principle of classification of transport packaging groups of dangerous goods
This standard specifies the method for classifying the categories of packaging for the transportation of various types of dangerous goods. It applies to the performance testing and inspection of dangerous goods packaging by the production, storage, transportation, and inspection authorities, serving as the basis for determining packaging groups.
GB/T 7694-2008 The rule of nomenclature for dangerous goods
This standard specifies the selection and naming of shipping names for dangerous goods. It applies to the naming of dangerous goods transported and stored by railway, highway, waterway, and civil aviation.
The United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods Model Regulations (Rev. 23) (a.k.a. UN Model Regulations) has introduced new provisions on the transport of lithium batteries. In response to the booming new energy industry and the continuous expansion of cross-border trade, China is actively aligning with the evolving trends of international rules and has officially launched an upgrade project for the national standard system.
For example:
The Ministry of Transport (MOT) has submitted the national standard project (20241015-Q-348) in May 2024 to elevate the industrial standard JT/T 617 to mandatory national standard on dangerous goods road transport.
New standards were drafted for the safe transport of lithium batteries, including requirements for multimodal transport, railway transportation, and safety technical requirements for ships carrying lithium batteries.
GB/T XXXXX-XXXX Technical requirements for traction lithium battery transport safety and intermodal transportation
Guide on Railway Transportation of Consumer-grade Lithium Batteries
JT/T XXXXX-XXXX Safety technical requirements for the transport of lithium batteries by ships
This time the project to revise GB/T 15098-2008 and GB/T 7694-2008 will consider these regulatory updates to enhance the scientific rigor and standardization of dangerous goods transport management. ChemLinked will monitor this issue closely and provide you with the latest information.
