On January 8, 2024, Shenzhen News Network reported that the first "Guidelines for Health Evaluation of Air Quality in New Energy Vehicles" (hereinafter referred to as the "Guidelines") in China has been officially implemented in Shenzhen. This standard was jointly proposed by the Shenzhen Ecological Environment Bureau and the Shenzhen Institute of Standards and Technology. It was drafted by the Shenzhen

Institute of Standards and Technology, with the participation of multiple automotive companies and testing institutions. It is the first group standard in China that targets the indoor air quality and health of new energy vehicles, while also covering pollution limit indicators and testing methods. Standards are encouraged and advocated to guide enterprises in the industry to consciously and voluntarily implement them.

In recent years, with the continuous development of the social economy, China has become the country with the largest production and sales scale of new energy vehicles in the world. Shenzhen is one of the first cities in China to promote the application of new energy vehicles and the first pilot area for comprehensive electrification of public sector vehicles. It is also a national pilot city for environmental and health management. In order to meet the new demand of consumers for indoor environmental health in the new situation, Shenzhen actively carries out research on the evaluation of indoor air quality and health of new energy vehicles, and formulates and releases the "Evaluation Guidelines". While promoting environmental health, it guides new energy vehicle enterprises to manufacture vehicles with high quality, adopt higher health evaluation standards to control the indoor air quality of vehicles, and help promote the green and high-quality development of new energy vehicles. The Evaluation Guidelines were released in Shenzhen on December 11, 2023 and officially implemented from January 1, 2024.
