China to Revise Used Car Appraisal Standard, Adding EV and Flood Damage Rules
China's national standard for used car appraisal (GB/T 30323-2013) is set for a major revision, with a draft expected by year-end and official release next year, according to the China Automobile Dealers Association (CADA). The revision addresses shortcomings from the past decade, including the rise of new energy vehicles (NEVs) and new scenarios like exports. Key changes include replacing rigid centimeter-based accident criteria with comprehensive assessments, adding standards for flood-damaged and fire-damaged vehicles, and introducing appraisal content for NEV battery, motor, and electronic control systems. Companies including Geely, Tesla, and Dongchedi participated in discussions.

China to Revise Used Car Appraisal National Standard, Adding EV and Flood Damage Rules
China's national standard for used car appraisal, GB/T 30323-2013, is set for a major revision, according to the China Automobile Dealers Association (CADA). The revision, expected to be drafted by year-end and officially released next year, addresses shortcomings that have emerged over the past decade, including the rapid rise of new energy vehicles (NEVs), new application scenarios like used car exports and judicial disposal, and inadequate accident vehicle determination. CADA Vice President Luo Lei stated the revision aims to unify industry standards and align with regulatory and consumer protection requirements. The update will focus on five areas: restructuring accident vehicle judgment logic and grading; adding specific standards for flood-damaged and fire-damaged vehicles; adding appraisal content for NEV battery, motor, and electronic control systems; optimizing the entire appraisal process; and expanding applicable scenarios. Key changes include replacing rigid quantitative metrics for collision damage with a comprehensive assessment based on damage extent, component nature, repair quality, and post-repair safety. For flood-damaged vehicles, the new standard will define core identification features such as continuous horizontal liquid level erosion lines and vertical stratified corrosion, distinguishing them from incidental water stains. Flood damage will be classified into low-risk and high-risk categories. Companies including Geely, Tesla, and Dongchedi participated in the revision discussions.

China's national standard for used car appraisal and technical assessment (GB/T 30323-2013) is set for a major revision, according to the China Automobile Dealers Association (CADA). The revision, expected to be drafted by the end of this year and officially released next year, addresses shortcomings that have emerged over the past decade, including the rapid rise of new energy vehicles (NEVs), new application scenarios like exports and judicial disposal, and inadequate rules for accident and flood-damaged vehicles. CADA Vice President Luo Lei stated the revision aims to unify industry standards and align with regulatory and consumer protection requirements. Key changes include: replacing rigid 'centimeter-based' accident car criteria with a comprehensive assessment of damage, repair quality, and safety; adding specific standards for flood-damaged and fire-damaged vehicles; introducing appraisal content for NEV battery, motor, and electronic control systems; and optimizing the entire appraisal process. The revision was discussed at a CADA-hosted seminar with participants including Geely, Tesla, and Dongchedi.

China's national standard for used car appraisal and evaluation (GB/T 30323-2013) is set for a major revision, with a draft expected by the end of this year and official implementation next year, according to the China Automobile Dealers Association (CADA). Vice President Luo Lei stated that the current standard, in effect for over a decade, has become inadequate due to the expanding used car market, rising new energy vehicle penetration, and new applications like exports and judicial disposal. The revision will address shortcomings in accident car determination, new energy vehicle appraisal, and personnel qualification management. Key changes include replacing rigid quantitative metrics for accident car classification with a comprehensive assessment based on damage degree, repair quality, and safety performance. New standards for flood-damaged and fire-damaged vehicles will be added, along with appraisal content for new energy vehicle battery, motor, and electronic control systems. The revision process involves input from automakers like Geely and Tesla, as well as internet platforms like Dongchedi.

China to Revise Used Car Appraisal Standard, Ending One-Size-Fits-All Accident Car Rules
China's national standard for used car appraisal and evaluation (GB/T 30323-2013) is set for a major revision, with a draft expected by the end of this year and official implementation next year, according to the China Automobile Dealers Association (CADA). The revision, prompted by the rapid growth of the used car market, the rise of new energy vehicles, and new application scenarios like exports and judicial disposal, aims to unify industry standards and better protect consumers. Key changes include abandoning the current 'centimeter-based' quantitative criteria for defining accident-damaged vehicles in favor of a more comprehensive assessment considering damage extent, component nature, repair quality, and post-repair safety. New standards will also be introduced for flood-damaged and fire-damaged vehicles, distinguishing flood damage by specific waterline and sediment patterns. The revision will add appraisal content for new energy vehicle battery, motor, and electronic control systems, optimize the entire appraisal process, and broaden the standard's applicability. Industry participants including Geely, Tesla, and Dongchedi contributed to the discussions.

China's national standard for used vehicle appraisal and technical evaluation (GB/T 30323-2013) is set for a major revision, with a draft expected by end of 2025 and formal implementation next year, according to the China Automobile Dealers Association (CADA). Vice President Luo Lei stated that the decade-old standard has become inadequate due to market growth, rising new energy vehicle penetration, and new scenarios like exports and judicial disposal. The revision will address five areas: restructuring accident vehicle judgment logic and grading; adding specific standards for flood-damaged and fire-damaged vehicles; adding new energy vehicle battery, motor, and electronic control system appraisal content; optimizing the full appraisal process; and expanding applicable scenarios. Notably, the revised standard will eliminate rigid quantitative metrics (e.g., 'centimeter-based' accident classification) in favor of a comprehensive assessment based on damage extent, component nature, repair quality, and post-repair safety tests. For flood-damaged vehicles, the standard will distinguish between continuous horizontal waterline marks from prolonged submersion and sporadic leaks. Damage will be classified into low-risk and high-risk categories. CADA will collect feedback and hold further meetings nationwide.
