On December 20th, the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy held the 'K-Battery Standardization Forum' and presented the strategy for standardizing post-use electric vehicle batteries to support the circular economy in the K-Battery industry.
Safety standards (KC) for reusable batteries were implemented in October. Testing methods for recycled cathode materials will be completed by year-end. To cut safety inspection costs, a software (SW) inspection method is proposed as an international standard. Market support will be enhanced by linking testing methods with certification for excellent recycling products (GR).
We plan to actively participate in international standardization discussions on record management and performance evaluation. Additionally, standardization efforts have begun for post-use battery terminology and transportation/storage to reduce industry confusion and promote market activity.
