China's MIIT and Other Departments Issue Draft Opinions on Strengthening Automotive Product Innovation Design and R&D Testing Verification, Propose Ban on Fully Hidden Door Handles
2026-10-12 09:39:32 China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and three other departments last week issued the "Notice on Further Strengthening the Management of Automotive Product Innovation Design and R&D Testing Verification (Draft for Consultation)", proposing specific testing and verification requirements for virtual control components, door handles, new human-machine interaction systems and large-angle seats in automotive products. The draft opinions also proposed enhancing safety and environmental protection technical requirements for innovative product designs and establishing a review and assessment mechanism for innovative product designs. Starting next year, for newly declared products involving innovative designs under the "Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products Announcement", automobile manufacturers will be required to provide additional technical parameters related to innovative designs. For products that have already obtained approval, automobile manufacturers must submit supplementary technical parameters and verification materials before July 1, 2027. Technical service institutions should conduct in-depth assessments of potential safety hazards and emission risks related to products and strictly review automotive product innovation design technologies. The authorities stated that enterprises should move safety risk assessments forward to the product R&D and design stage, conducting failure mode analysis for relevant innovative designs under complex working conditions and extreme scenarios to fully identify potential safety risks. Innovative designs that fail to meet standards must not be installed in vehicles for application. Specific requirements include that products adopting innovative door handle designs should fully verify the functional stability of door handles under extreme environments and operability under emergency situations, with mechanical redundancy design and sufficient hand operating space. Fully hidden door handles will be prohibited. Enterprises should also use technical means to restrict seat usage scenarios, prohibiting the use of zero-gravity seats, rotating seats or fully reclined bed-like seat functions while driving. Products using central entertainment screens, large-area displays and complex head-up displays should also assess the impact of information presentation on driving safety and functional reliability under extreme environmental scenarios, and conduct safety assessments including collision testing.(gc/u)~ AASTOCKS Financial News Website: www.aastocks.com This article was automatically translated by AI, the Chinese version should be considered the authoritative version.
