This latest European energy storage safety standard significantly improves the battery thermal runaway impact protection indicators, distinguishing between explosion-proof walls and explosion-proof partitions, and setting control requirements for the risk of fragmentation after the panels are impacted. Rectangular galvanized fiber cement composite steel plates utilize a double-layer galvanized steel plate encasing an inorganic fiber cement core. Upon impact, only the surface layer suffers minor damage, reducing secondary injuries from flying hard debris. This makes them suitable for energy storage compartment partitions and explosion-proof enclosures for equipment rooms. The product's raw materials are asbestos-free, its flue gas emission standards meet EU limits, its hazardous substance control complies with REACH chemical control regulations, and its carbon emission indicators meet European low-carbon procurement requirements, qualifying it to participate in bidding for energy storage retrofit projects in multiple countries.
Many older energy storage facilities in Europe, which have been in operation for years, generally suffer from limited foundation load-bearing capacity and restricted construction periods due to shutdowns. Heavy-duty cast-in-place explosion-proof concrete walls are too heavy, making them more suitable for high-grade solid firewalls, but often unsuitable for the foundations of older facilities. Rectangular galvanized composite bare plates offer significant lightweight advantages, allowing for construction on most existing buildings without additional foundation reinforcement. The panels employ a modular dry assembly process, resulting in high assembly efficiency under suitable temperature and humidity conditions. This effectively shortens the construction period for small-scale retrofit projects, reducing economic losses caused by business downtime. At the exhibition, overseas general contractors focused on inquiring about customized specifications of thickened, explosion-proof, and corrosion-resistant products, covering diverse application scenarios such as distributed residential energy storage compartments and large centralized energy storage modules.
European engineering procurement has stringent standards for reviewing building material compliance documents and full-cycle technical archives. Domestic exhibitors are continuously improving their CE certification issued by EU notified bodies, obtaining complete sets of English fire-resistant and explosion-proof testing documents, and supplementing their ETA technical assessment data. Simultaneously, they are establishing independent brand websites and overseas local distribution networks, opening up small-batch sample orders to reduce the initial inventory costs for overseas distributors. Customs statistics show that in the first half of the year, China's exports of explosion-proof composite panels to Europe and the United States increased by 17.3% year-on-year. With the gradual implementation of energy storage safety retrofit guidelines in various countries, overseas orders are expected to grow steadily.
Leveraging China's complete building materials industry chain and standardized rectangular panel production advantages, domestically produced explosion-proof composite panels, with their lightweight and easy-to-assemble characteristics, have formed a differentiated competitive advantage in small and medium-sized existing energy storage retrofit projects in Europe. Industry insiders indicate that companies still need to continuously improve their complete European compliance certification system, complete the qualification requirements for large-scale infrastructure projects, and further expand their overseas market reach
