50 Hz Grid Basis and Site-Specific Settings China factory PCS settings and 50 Hz design data are useful starting evidence. They still need site validation for Côte d'Ivoire voltage class, transformer taps, relay settings, harmonics, grounding, SCADA, grid-code operating windows, and commissioning tests.GB/T 36558-2023
China 50 Hz PCS factory settings
Project-specific China grid acceptance records		 Côte d'Ivoire participates in the West African Power Pool and the national grid is planned and operated as part of a regional electricity-market context. China and Côte d'Ivoire both use a 50 Hz design basis for normal BESS PCS and transformer screening, but interconnection acceptance still depends on the specific Côte d'Ivoire point of connection and utility/project settings.Côte d'Ivoire grid and WAPP regional electricity-market context
Project-specific frequency and voltage operating windows
Utility interconnection and commissioning settings		 Do not rely only on the 50 Hz match. Provide Côte d'Ivoire-specific protection settings, power-quality study, short-circuit study, transformer configuration, SCADA mapping, commissioning plan, and site acceptance records.[INFORMATIONAL] The 50 Hz match reduces equipment-screening friction but is not a Côte d'Ivoire interconnection approval; site settings and commissioning remain separate requirements.

China GB 44240-2024 / GB/T 36276-2023 Baseline vs Côte d'Ivoire Evidence GB 44240-2024 is the key China mandatory safety baseline for electrochemical energy-storage stations where applicable, while GB/T 36276-2023 is a widely used recommended lithium-ion battery standard for electrical energy storage. They should be clause-mapped to IEC 62619, IEC 62933, and project-specific Côte d'Ivoire requirements.GB 44240-2024
GB/T 36276-2023
GB/T 36558-2023		 For Côte d'Ivoire, China GB 44240-2024 and GB/T 36276-2023 are useful manufacturer baseline evidence but are not, by themselves, Côte d'Ivoire legal approvals. A Côte d'Ivoire dossier should translate those reports into IEC, CODINORM, ANARE-CI / utility, fire-safety, and transport evidence as required by the shipment and project route.CODINORM acceptance route where applicable
IEC 62619 and IEC 62933 evidence where requested

UN 38.3 transport evidence		 Create a master evidence matrix showing which China GB documents are formal certificates, which are test reports, which are voluntary standards, and which Côte d'Ivoire reviewer must accept each item. Add French translations for summaries, nameplate data, installation limits, safety warnings, and emergency procedures.[INFORMATIONAL] China GB evidence is a strong technical baseline, not a Côte d'Ivoire approval. Convert it into a reviewer-specific IEC, CODINORM, ANARE-CI / utility, fire, and transport dossier.

CODINORM and IEC 62619 / IEC 62933 Evidence for BESS China-side BESS evidence commonly includes GB 44240-2024 for electrochemical energy-storage station safety and GB/T 36276-2023 for lithium-ion batteries for electrical energy storage. These may support a technical crosswalk, but they should not be assumed to replace IEC-numbered reports or CODINORM acceptance.GB 44240-2024
GB/T 36276-2023
GB/T 36558-2023		 CODINORM is Côte d'Ivoire's national standards and product-certification body. For BESS, the official public material reviewed did not identify a single CODINORM mandatory product certificate specific to stationary lithium BESS. IEC 62619:2022 battery-safety evidence and IEC 62933-series system evidence should therefore be treated as likely technical evidence for a CODINORM, tender, insurer, lender, customs, or project-owner review unless CODINORM, a contract, or a permit expressly makes a specific edition mandatory.CODINORM normalisation and product certification services
IEC 62619:2022
IEC 62933 series		 Confirm the HS codes and CODINORM import/conformity route before shipment. Prepare an English or French clause matrix from GB 44240-2024 and GB/T 36276-2023 to IEC 62619:2022 and the relevant IEC 62933 parts, clearly separating formal IEC test reports from China-only GB evidence.[INFORMATIONAL] Treat IEC 62619 / IEC 62933 as required technical evidence only when CODINORM, customs, the buyer, or a project approval route calls it up; do not assume China GB reports are automatically accepted.

ONPC Fire-Safety Review for BESS Installations China commonly uses GB 44240-2024, GB/T 36276-2023, GB/T 36558-2023, and project fire-safety documentation for electrochemical energy storage. These documents may support technical due diligence but do not replace ONPC, local authority, insurer, or site-owner fire-safety acceptance.GB 44240-2024
GB/T 36276-2023
GB/T 36558-2023		 The Office National de la Protection Civile (ONPC) is Côte d'Ivoire's civil-protection authority and public official material references fire-safety training, approved fire-safety and first-aid firms, and safety-certificate inspection activity for establishments open to the public. Decree No. 2023-1004 is reported to reinforce ONPC's institutional framework; where ICPE or local fire-certificate rules apply, project teams should confirm certificate scope, gas-detection expectations, renewal period such as a five-year cycle, and inspection route directly with ONPC or the permitting authority. BESS projects should expect local fire-safety review at site level, especially for containerized lithium batteries, indoor electrical rooms, public or industrial premises, and emergency-response planning.ONPC civil-protection and fire-safety oversight

Project fire-protection design and emergency-response plan		 Prepare a French fire-safety dossier with site layout, separation distances, container ventilation, thermal-runaway mitigation, gas detection where relevant, fire detection and suppression design, emergency shutdown logic, firefighting access, SDS, and emergency response procedures.[INFORMATIONAL] Côte d'Ivoire BESS fire safety should be treated as a site-approval issue.

ANARE-CI, CIE, and CI-ENERGIES Grid / Storage Project Review China-side grid and system evidence commonly includes GB/T 36558-2023 and project grid-company acceptance records. These documents can support engineering review but do not substitute for Côte d'Ivoire interconnection studies, protection settings, commissioning tests, or ANARE-CI / utility acceptance.GB/T 36558-2023
GB/T 34120
GB/T 34133
China grid-company commissioning acceptance records		 ANARE-CI states that it controls compliance with electricity laws, regulations, authorizations, and conventions, while CIE operates the national public electricity service and CI-ENERGIES manages state electricity-sector assets and network investment planning. A grid-connected BESS should therefore be treated as a project-level electricity-sector approval and interconnection matter, not just an imported battery product.Côte d'Ivoire Electricity Code Law No. 2014-132
ANARE-CI electricity-sector regulation and authorization oversight
CIE / CI-ENERGIES interconnection, operation, and commissioning requirements		 Prepare a Côte d'Ivoire-specific interconnection dossier covering single-line diagrams, grid model, relay settings, anti-islanding, fault ride-through where requested, harmonics, grounding, metering, SCADA/telecontrol, commissioning tests, and operating procedures in French.[INFORMATIONAL] A BESS battery certificate does not close the Côte d'Ivoire grid gap; ANARE-CI, CIE, CI-ENERGIES, and project-specific commissioning expectations should be addressed before energization.

UN 38.3 Lithium Battery Transport Testing Chinese BESS exporters commonly hold UN 38.3 reports for cells and battery packs, but GB 44240-2024 and GB/T 36276-2023 are product or project safety standards and do not replace transport-classification evidence.UN 38.3 test report for exported lithium cells and batteries
GB 44240-2024 (not a transport test)
GB/T 36276-2023 (not a transport test)		 Lithium cells and batteries in BESS shipments must be supported by UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, subsection 38.3 evidence for international transport. Côte d'Ivoire does not create a public BESS-specific exception in the official material reviewed; sea shipments normally require IMDG dangerous-goods documentation, SDS, proper UN number classification, packaging evidence, and carrier acceptance.UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, subsection 38.3
IMDG Code for sea transport of dangerous goods
Carrier and port dangerous-goods documentation requirements		 Verify UN 38.3 reports for each shipped cell and battery configuration, confirm SDS and UN number declarations, and align the dangerous-goods declaration with the actual containerized BESS shipping state before booking vessel space.[INFORMATIONAL] UN 38.3 transport evidence is separate from IEC or GB battery safety evidence and should be verified for every BESS cell and battery configuration shipped to Côte d'Ivoire.
