China implements a national technical guide for directed recycling of waste lithium-battery chemicals
Recommended national standard GB/T 47393—2026 took effect on 1 October 2026. According to SAMR, it sets out basic principles, the recycling value chain, categories of recoverable resources, recycling routes and directed-recycling technologies for chemicals from waste lithium batteries. Its purpose is to support more structured circular-economy practices in China’s waste-battery recycling sector.
What it means
This is a recommended GB/T technical guide, not a compulsory product-certification rule. Chinese recyclers and battery companies selecting recycling partners should review whether their material classification, process routes, recovery records and supplier-audit evidence align with the guide. Overseas buyers may use alignment as a due-diligence signal, but should not treat it as proof of product safety certification or legal compliance outside China.
