On the evening of June 2, after receiving a public report, Chengdu Shuangliu District Market Supervision Administration, together with the public security bureau, traffic police, relevant subdistrict offices, and other departments, carried out a surprise law-enforcement operation and shut down in one move an illegal lithium battery recycling and processing workshop hidden in a residential community in Shuangliu.

Inside this seemingly ordinary residential house, large quantities of lithium battery products were being illegally stockpiled and processed. At the scene, enforcement officers seized a total of recycled and processed finished lithium battery products, including 7 sets of finished products, 1 set of semi-finished products, and 22 sets of recycled lithium batteries. They also confiscated more than 300 individual cells of various sizes, including ternary lithium cells and lithium iron phosphate cells.

Law-enforcement personnel lawfully seized all battery products, processing equipment, and supporting accessories involved in the case. The case is currently under further in-depth investigation.

The site covertly sold counterfeit and substandard batteries through second-hand online platforms, with buyers including food-delivery riders, street vendors, ordinary residential community residents, and other groups.

No fire-rated partition walls were installed in the lithium battery aging area, meaning a fire could spread in just a few dozen seconds; an unlicensed workshop was hidden on the rooftop of an industrial park, where workers dismantled waste batteries by hand, and a single spark could trigger an explosion...

　　This is not a movie scene, but a real site recently investigated and handled in Qingxi Town!

　　The Qingxi Town lithium battery rectification task force has continued to maintain a high-pressure crackdown posture. In May, it investigated and handled 2 typical illegal cases in succession, promptly eliminating potential risks.

　　An unlicensed "bomb-dismantling workshop" hidden on a rooftop? It was sealed off the same day and completely cleared within 24 hours!

　　On May 12, during a routine patrol in Yujiaowei Village, an illegally built sheet-metal structure was found on the rooftop of an industrial park, and inside it was an unlicensed workshop illegally dismantling lithium batteries. Waste power batteries were piled in disorder at the site, workers were forcibly dismantling battery casings, and the environment was dirty and chaotic. There was not even any safety equipment for fire prevention, explosion prevention, or electrostatic protection. It was practically like "dismantling bombs"!

　　Yujiaowei Village immediately reported the case to the town lithium battery task force, and multiple departments promptly coordinated their response, ordering the business owner on site to stop operations and move out within a prescribed time limit. After follow-up supervision, on May 13, the enterprise had completed the removal of all equipment and materials, and the hazard was fully eliminated. From discovery to complete clearance, the entire process took less than 24 hours!

　　Non-compliant fire separation? Fine!

　　On May 3, when the town lithium battery task force inspected Rui某 Electronics Co., Ltd., it found that the enterprise's lithium battery aging room was not separated from other areas by a fire-rated partition wall with a fire-resistance rating of at least 2.0h, failing to meet the relevant requirements of Article 6.2.7 of the Code for Design of Lithium-ion Battery Plants (GB 51377-2019).

　　The lithium battery aging process carries particularly high risks. Without fire-rated partition walls, fire can spread rapidly, creating extreme danger. This enterprise violated relevant work safety laws and regulations and was fined in accordance with the law. At present, the enterprise has completed rectification as required and relocated the aging equipment to an area with fire separation.

　　In the next step, the town lithium battery task force will continue to maintain strict inspections, rigorously implement the rectification standards of "three mandatory penalties and one clearance", focus on checking hidden corners, strictly investigate and handle illegal acts such as perfunctory rectification, unlicensed operations, and illegal battery dismantling, severely crack down on hidden illegal processing sites, continuously regulate the industry's production and business order, and firmly uphold the town's bottom line for work safety.
