On July 20th, reports surfaced indicating that the 'Safety Requirements for Maintenance Operations of New Energy Vehicles' (GB/T47439—2026) are slated for official enforcement from August 1st onwards. This comprehensive standard delineates specific criteria concerning personnel qualifications, site conditions, preparatory measures, risk assessment and mitigation, operational protocols, and safety precautions pertinent to new energy vehicle maintenance. Notably, it meticulously details critical procedures for the high-voltage systems inherent in new energy vehicles, as well as the hydrogen supply frameworks of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, both pre, during, and post-maintenance. Central to its focus are the inspection of protective gear and tools, verification of the site's environmental suitability, identification and management of operational hazards, and the upkeep of Class B voltage circuits, among other pivotal safety considerations.
