[SMM Magnesium News] On July 8, 2025, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology officially announced the approval and release of 406 industrial standards, three of which involve magnesium: the "Technical Specification for Energy-Saving Diagnosis of Magnesium Smelters" (YS/T 1801-2025), the "Technical Specification for Energy-Saving Supervision of Magnesium Smelting Industry" (YS/T 1802-2025), and the "Technical Specification for Recycling and Treatment of Magnesium Smelting Slag" (YS/T 1804-2025). These standards were jointly formulated by the Fugu County Magnesium Industry Association, in collaboration with multiple key magnesium enterprises in Fugu, major domestic magnesium enterprises, and top research institutions, and will be fully implemented starting from February 1, 2026. The approved industrial standards fill the technical gaps in energy-saving diagnosis, supervision, and solid waste resource utilization in China's magnesium smelting sector, marking a crucial step forward for Fugu's magnesium industry on the path of green, low-carbon, and circular development. They also set a "Fugu model" for the high-quality development of the national magnesium industry.
