[MIIT Takes Action to Regulate Hidden Door Handles] On May 8, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) publicly solicited opinions on the mandatory national standard development and revision plan project for "Safety Technical Requirements for Automobile Door Handles." MIIT pointed out that in recent years, with the rapid development of automotive electrification and intelligence, hidden door handles have been widely adopted due to their aesthetic appeal and strong technological feel. Door handle products on the market have shown a trend of diversification in working principles and forms, exposing the following issues during market application: insufficient strength, potential safety risks in control logic, difficulty in identification and operation (hidden without markings), power failure, hand pinching, and potential escape and rescue risks. The aforementioned issues pose potential escape and rescue risks. For example, in accidents such as collisions or fires, power failure can occur, causing electric exterior door handles and electric interior door handles to malfunction, increasing obstacles to rescue and escape; the lack of obvious and uniform markings increases the difficulty of operation in emergency situations.
