## What's new

HiQ-CESI 1.2.0 is a frozen catalog awaiting listing, with 659 datasets (CUT_OFF). Against the published 1.1.0 catalog it adds 92 datasets net, with reference products rising from 197 to 215, extending coverage to lithium iron phosphate cells and selected battery supporting materials.

- [Lithium Batteries and Raw/Supporting Materials](/en/sectors/lithium-batteries-and-raw-supporting-materials): Adds 123 datasets against the published 1.1.0 catalog (CUT_OFF), represented by 锂电铜箔, 硅碳负极,电池级, 硬碳,电池级, 锂电极耳组合件 and 磷酸铁锂电芯,20Ah.

- [Chemical Industry](/en/sectors/chemical-industry): Adds 10 datasets against the published 1.1.0 catalog (CUT_OFF), covering 二水合草酸亚铁, 四氧化三钴, 无水硫酸钠, 硫酸镍,电池级 and 磷酸铁,电池级.

## Changes

The comparison covers the published 1.1.0 catalog and the frozen 1.2.0 catalog, using CUT_OFF. Dataset count rises from 567 to 659, a net increase of 92 (16.23%).

### Coverage changes

Reference products rise from 197 to 215, adding 18 products including lithium iron phosphate cells, 镍钴锰酸锂523三元正极材料, lithium hexafluorophosphate and battery separators. Both versions cover 16 geography codes; all 133 datasets present only in 1.2.0 use CN.

Retained datasets keep the same reference-product identifiers, reference quantities and geography codes, with revisions to 9 activity names and 5 reference-product names.

## Known issues and limitations

Sector coverage uses overlapping tags.

### Confirmed issues

No formal issue register has been obtained.

### Documentation completeness (r1 field coverage)

The current deliverables are a frozen catalog and cross-version comparison files; the data package awaits publication. Pending metadata: reference-product units for 612 datasets and names or other metadata for 307 elementary flows. Pending documentation: formal release date, data-service listing schedule, exact background version, replacement relationships for 41 IDs present only in 1.1.0, and revision notes for 14 LCIA unit labels. Documentation coverage uses the historical sets of 569 to 659 records; quality-score coverage counts populated fields.
