Adaption to the New National Standard

"During the third quarter of 2022, we remained dedicated to preparing for a smooth transition to the new national standards, which came into full effect on October 1, 2022.

We have now achieved full geographical coverage nationwide," said Ms. Ying (Kate) Wang, Co-founder, Chairperson of the Board of Directors, and CEO of RLX Technology on the Q3 reprot.
