The Frontline | "CPPCC, government, and enterprises" gathered at the "Intelligent Cloud Sharing for Common Development" Two-wheel Electric Vehicle Safety Forum to enhance the safety of electric bicycles.
According to the data of the Electric Vehicle Chamber of Commerce of Guangdong Province, the social ownership of electric bicycles in China has reached 350 million, undertaking 80% of the daily short-distance travel needs of citizens across the country. The safety issues involved are the focus of the electric bicycle industry and even the entire society.
In order to promote in-depth discussions on the safety technology of electric bicycles and boost the high-quality development of the industry, on December 27, the 2024 "Intelligent Cloud Sharing for Joint Development" Two-Wheeled Electric Vehicle Safety Forum - Beijing Station, hosted by the China Battery Industry Association, Guangdong Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Institute, and Electric Vehicle Chamber of Commerce of Guangdong Province, and organized by Guangzhou Jointas Chemical Co., Ltd., was held at Beijing Taifu Hotel.

The leaders of the Special Task Force Office for the Whole Chain Rectification of Electric Bicycles of the State Administration for Market Regulation, Wang Jianxin, Vice Chairman and Executive Secretary-General of the China Battery Industry Association, Li Jianhua, Deputy Director of the Technology Research Department of the China Commodity Coding Center, Lan Shiyou, Party Branch Secretary and Executive President of the Electric Vehicle Chamber of Commerce of Guangdong Province, Han Jianjian, Director of the Strategic Development Office of the Light Textile Department of Guangdong Quality Inspection Institute, and other important guests delivered important speeches successively.
During the forum, several safety issues faced by the electric bicycle industry were focused on and discussed, mainly including fire accidents, battery safety, compliance, traffic accidents, riding safety, technical specifications, illegal modifications, and charging safety. Battery safety, as the core issue, is the focus of this forum. Many large-scale fires are caused by short circuits of lithium batteries in electric bicycles, improper charging, and unauthorized modifications. Once upon a time, battery fire accidents of electric bicycles occurred frequently across the country, which could cause casualties in severe cases. How to effectively solve the battery safety problem has become a major problem in the industry.
It is worth mentioning that Guangzhou Jointas Chemical Co., Ltd., as a leading chemical company, proposed to solve this problem through the battery module potting technology at the conference. Dr. Gao Xinlai, Director of the Silicone Application Research Laboratory of Guangzhou Jointas Chemical Co., Ltd., through a series of comparative experimental materials, allowed the audience to fully understand the importance of battery module potting and the fire prevention of the coating inside the battery pack casing for battery safety.

Dr. Gao demonstrated the potting products and technologies of Jointas Co., Ltd., such as thermal conductive potting, low-density potting, and foaming potting, which can achieve the functions of heat conduction, flame retardancy, shock resistance, fixation, insulation, and waterproofing for the battery pack. In addition, he also mentioned that the battery pack casing using the Jointas fireproof coating C6320P, whether it is made of steel or plastic, can still maintain the integrity of the casing structure when continuously burned by 1100°C liquefied petroleum gas, slow down the spread of thermal runaway, and effectively delay the occurrence of fires.
Guangzhou Jointas Chemical Co., Ltd. is a national high-tech enterprise dedicated to the research and development, production, and sales of environmentally friendly sealants and coatings. The company is committed to providing customized solutions for global customers. Its controlling shareholder, Antai Chemistry, was founded in 1989 and has a development history of more than thirty years. It has a national-level "Green Factory" and a CNAS nationally recognized laboratory, and is one of the largest production enterprises in the country with annual production capacity of sealants and water-based paints.
At the same time, the Electric Bicycle Industry Traceability Service Platform jointly built by the China Commodity Coding Center and the Electric Vehicle Chamber of Commerce of Guangdong Province, as well as the "General Rules for Quality Grading and Evaluation of Lithium-ion Batteries for Electric Bicycles" led by the China Battery Industry Association, Guangdong Quality Inspection Institute, and Electric Vehicle Chamber of Commerce of Guangdong Province, were also officially released. Standard参编 units such as Jointas Co., Ltd. for the "Quality Grading and Evaluation of Lithium-ion Batteries for Electric Bicycles" were awarded certificates of standard drafting units at the conference.
In the forum, as the only enterprise in the material industry that participated in the compilation of the new national standard GB43854-2024 for batteries, Zou Zhenfan, Director and General Manager of Jointas Co., Ltd., together with representatives of electric bicycle manufacturers such as Luo Qingyi, Vice President of Aima Technology, Chen Wensheng, Vice President of Luyuan Electric Vehicle, Zhang Zhenyuan, General Manager of Ninebot, and Ou Xiangdong, Assistant to the President of Niu Technologies, jointly discussed issues such as the implementation of quality and safety traceability, the cutting-edge development of safety technology, and the development trend of the industry after the implementation of the new national standard, and put forward valuable opinions to improve the safety of electric bicycles.
When talking about expectations and prospects for the industry, the forum guests unanimously believe that the electric bicycle industry, which originated and grew in China without relying on foreign technology, has a healthy industrial ecology that deserves to be jointly maintained by the entire industry chain. It is essential for enterprises to adhere to the new industry standards, for all parties to collaboratively guide consumers to understand the industry standards, and for the relevant departments to strictly enforce supervision and law enforcement.
The holding of this forum has the significance of enabling the safety of electric bicycles through the joint efforts of the government, industry associations, and enterprises. Like the first forum held in Guangzhou in September, this 2024 "Intelligent Cloud Sharing for Joint Development" Two-Wheeled Electric Vehicle Safety Forum aims to bring together representatives from relevant management departments, industry associations, and leading enterprises in the upstream and downstream of the electric bicycle industry to create an opportunity for efficient communication among the government, industry associations, and enterprises.
As Wang Jianxin, Vice Chairman and Executive Secretary-General of the China Battery Industry Association, said in his opening speech, "The convening of this forum is a positive response to the opinions of the State Administration for Market Regulation on the whole chain rectification of electric bicycles and the implementation of quality and safety traceability of key industrial products."
