【China Leads Launch of World's First International Standard for Solid-State Batteries】 An international standard proposal for solid-state batteries in electric vehicle applications, led by China, has been approved for development by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), becoming the world's first international standard in the solid-state battery field. The standard, developed with participation from experts from France, South Korea and Japan, will establish unified guidelines, testing items and testing conditions for solid-state batteries, providing a common testing framework for global automakers and battery manufacturers.

The average import price was $84.5/mt, down 7.6% MoM. Among importing provinces, only Guangxi maintained imports of 14,000 mt, with all others dropping to zero. Egypt's import volume from the source country plunged 81%, while Kazakhstan saw marginal growth. After a surge in exports in June, they fell to zero in July, mainly due to order fulfillment completion, off-season demand, and regulatory policies. Imports are unlikely to rebound in the short term, with attention on winter stockpiling and export policy changes.
