Compliance Gap Matrix

Gap matrix
Compliance item Common China baseline Chile (SEC / CNE) Gap / action Source + verification date
China GB 44240-2024 / GB/T 36276-2023 Versus Chile Acceptance GB 44240-2024 addresses safety requirements for lithium cells and batteries used in electrical energy storage systems. GB/T 36276-2023 addresses lithium-ion batteries for electrical energy storage. Both are highly relevant to BESS exports from China but must be mapped to Chilean product, transport, installation, grid, and project requirements.GB 44240-2024
GB/T 36276-2023		 Chile project reviewers may accept China GB evidence as supporting technical documentation, but Chile acceptance normally depends on SEC product scope, Chilean installation rules, CNE / Coordinador grid studies, contract specifications, and transport documents. GB 44240-2024 and GB/T 36276-2023 should be positioned as China-origin evidence, not as automatic Chile market-access approvals.SEC product and installation requirements
CNE / Coordinador Electrico Nacional grid requirements
Project contract specifications		 Create a crosswalk from GB 44240-2024 and GB/T 36276-2023 clauses to requested IEC, SEC, CNE, Coordinador, transport, and project clauses. Identify missing Spanish documentation, local labels, model files, site fire evidence, and Chile-specific declarations.[INFORMATIONAL] GB 44240-2024 and GB/T 36276-2023 are strong China-origin BESS evidence, but they are not Chile approvals. Use them in a documented crosswalk against the Chile project route. State Administration for Market Regulation Standard Public Service Platform, China2026-06-13 · unverified
BESS Installation and Fire-Safety Review China commonly relies on GB 44240-2024, GB/T 36276-2023, GB/T 36558-2023, container fire design, factory fire-suppression tests, and local Chinese project fire review. These documents may support Chilean due diligence but do not replace Chilean site permits, electrical declarations, insurer review, or emergency-response acceptance.GB 44240-2024
GB/T 36276-2023
GB/T 36558-2023		 Chile BESS fire safety is usually handled through the project approval, electrical installation, owner engineering, insurer, municipal, environmental, and emergency-response route rather than a single BESS fire certificate. SEC installation rules, declared electrical installations, site permits, and project fire-risk studies may require evidence on thermal runaway, spacing, ventilation, detection, suppression, emergency shutdown, access, and Spanish emergency procedures.SEC Reglamento de Seguridad de las Instalaciones de Consumo de Energia Electrica - Decreto 08
SEC PLIEGOS RIC
Project fire-risk and emergency-response requirements		 Exporters should localize the fire-safety package for Chile: installation drawings, rack spacing, ventilation or gas management, detection and suppression logic, deflagration or exhaust assumptions where relevant, shutdown interfaces, firefighter access, water runoff controls, SDS, incident response, and Spanish operating and emergency manuals.[INFORMATIONAL] Fire safety for Chile BESS is a site and project approval issue. Chinese GB reports help, but Chile-specific installation drawings, emergency procedures, and reviewer-ready fire-risk evidence are still needed.

CNE / Coordinador Storage and Grid Connection Requirements China grid and GB/T storage documentation can help demonstrate technical capability, but it does not replace Chilean interconnection studies, CNE technical rules, Coordinador model validation, commissioning tests, telemetry, dispatch, and operational data requirements.GB/T 36276-2023
GB/T 36558-2023
GB/T 34120		 Chile's Law 21.505 amended the electricity law to promote electrical energy storage and allow pure storage systems to participate in the electricity market. Utility-scale BESS projects must address CNE technical rules and Coordinador Electrico Nacional connection, commissioning, operation, model, grid-code, and performance-verification processes, especially as large BESS deployment expands in solar-heavy northern areas including Atacama and Antofagasta.Ley 21.505
Ley General de Servicios Electricos

Coordinador Electrico Nacional connection and verification procedures		 For Chile, prepare PSCAD/EMT and RMS models where requested, grid-forming or grid-following control descriptions, harmonic and fault-ride-through evidence, telemetry lists, commissioning test plans, availability guarantees, dispatch interfaces, and Chile-specific connection study responses.[INFORMATIONAL] Chile BESS market access is strongly project and grid-route dependent. A China battery certificate does not close CNE / Coordinador connection, model, commissioning, or operational requirements. Biblioteca del Congreso Nacional de Chile2026-06-13 · unverified
IEC 62619:2022 and IEC 62933 Project Specifications China BESS packages often cite GB 44240-2024 and GB/T 36276-2023 for lithium batteries used in electrical energy storage. These are not one-for-one substitutes for IEC 62619:2022 or IEC 62933 evidence when a Chilean project contract or reviewer asks for IEC test clauses, system definitions, safety case documentation, or grid-storage performance evidence.GB 44240-2024
GB/T 36276-2023		 IEC 62619:2022 and the IEC 62933 series are internationally used references for industrial lithium battery safety and electrical energy storage systems. In Chile, they should be treated as standards that may be required by project specifications, lenders, EPC contracts, insurers, SEC technical review, or grid studies unless a specific Chilean instrument incorporates them for the product or installation.IEC 62619:2022
IEC 62933		 Map Chinese cell, module, rack, PCS, BMS, EMS, enclosure, HVAC, and fire-mitigation evidence to the exact IEC clauses requested by the Chile project. Where editions are not stated in the Chilean instrument or contract, cite bare standard numbers and confirm the edition with the buyer, certifier, or engineer of record.[INFORMATIONAL] IEC evidence is commonly expected in bankable Chile BESS projects, but mandatory status depends on the exact Chilean instrument or contract. Confirm requested IEC clauses and editions before relying on China GB test reports. International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)2026-06-13 · unverified
SEC Product Certification and Commercialization Authorization China documentation commonly includes GB 44240-2024, GB/T 36276-2023, inverter certificates, factory test reports, and battery module safety reports. These documents support technical review but do not by themselves prove Chile SEC product scope, Chilean certification, or authorization to commercialize regulated electrical products.GB 44240-2024
GB/T 36276-2023		 Chile's SEC manages mandatory certification lists, product protocols, foreign-certificate recognition, and commercialization authorization for electrical products. For BESS, exporters should not assume a universal whole-unit BESS certificate; instead, determine whether listed components such as inverters, protection equipment, meters, cables, or other electrical products require SEC certification or authorization before sale or installation.SEC Productos con Obligatoriedad de Certificacion
SEC Protocolos de Productos
SEC Autorizacion de Comercializacion de Productos que Utilizan o Transportan Electricidad		 Prepare a Chile product-scope matrix by component, with HS codes, ratings, applicable SEC protocol checks, foreign certificates, test reports, Spanish labels and manuals, and a decision on certification, foreign-certificate recognition, or commercialization authorization where no authorized certification body route exists.[INFORMATIONAL] Treat Chile SEC compliance as a component-by-component scope exercise. China GB and factory documents are useful inputs but do not replace SEC certification, recognition, or commercialization authorization where a regulated electrical product is in scope.

UN 38.3 Lithium Battery Transport Evidence China factory GB reports, cell specifications, and battery safety certificates are not substitutes for dangerous-goods transport evidence. UN 38.3 reports and test summaries should match the actual cells, modules, and battery assemblies shipped from China to Chile.GB 44240-2024
GB/T 36276-2023
UN 38.3		 Lithium cells and batteries shipped to Chile by sea, air, or land are normally handled under dangerous-goods transport rules that rely on the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, subsection 38.3. BESS exporters should provide UN 38.3 test summaries, SDS, classification, packaging, state-of-charge controls where applicable, and transport documents for cells, modules, battery packs, and spare/replacement units.UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, subsection 38.3
IMDG Code lithium battery entries
IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations lithium battery provisions		 Confirm the transported configuration, UN number, packing instruction, tested type, manufacturer identity, rated energy, and whether the project ships cells, modules, racks, containers, or replacement batteries. Re-test or obtain addenda if the shipped configuration is not covered by the existing UN 38.3 file.[INFORMATIONAL] UN 38.3 is a transport gate, not a Chile grid or SEC approval. It must match the shipped lithium battery configuration and should travel with the dangerous-goods documentation package. United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE)2026-06-13 · unverified
