China Consults on New National Standard for Rare Earth

MIIT issued a new mandatory national standard: Rare Earth Productions Packing, Marking, Transport and Storage, and is currently seeking feedback from the public. The packing, marking, transport, storage and quality certification requirements for rare earth products such as rare earth mineral products, rare earth compounds and rare earth metals are stipulated in the standard.

On 14th June, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People’s Republic of China (MIIT) issued a new mandatory national standard: Rare Earth Productions Packing, Marking, Transport and Storage [1]. The packing, marking, transport, storage and quality certification requirements for rare earth products such as rare earth mineral products, rare earth compounds and rare earth metals are stipulated in the standard. The consultation will end on 15th July.

There are seven chapters in the standard, of which chapter 4 and chapter 7 articulate mandatory requirements and the remaining chapters articulate recommended guidelines. Chapter 1 describes the content and scope of the standard. This standard applies to the following rare earth products: rare earth mineral products, single/mixed rare earth compounds, single/mixed rare earth metals, rare earth alloy, various kinds of rare earth material and other products. Chapter 2 lists other national standards referenced by this standard. From Chapter 3 to Chapter 7, the regulation of packing, marking, transport, storage and quality certification requirements for rare earth products are separately introduced. Packaging requirements for different kinds of products, package signs and transport signs, requirements for transport and storage and information to be included in the quality certificate are described in the standard in detail.

The development of the rare earth industry is currently highly valued in China. Last month, President Xi went to investigate and research rare earth technology enterprises in Jiangxi Province, and learned about the production and operation of the company and the development of the local rare earth industry. In the future, the development of China's rare earth industry will receive more policy support.
