What standards do we cover in our Battery Testing Laboratories?

We cover a wide range of lithium-ion battery testing standards in our battery testing laboratories. We are able to conduct battery tests for the United Nations requirements (UN 38.3) as well as several safety standards such as IEC 62133, IEC 62619 and UL 1642 and performance standards like IEC 61960-3.

What are battery safety standards?

To ensure that LiBs reach the required safety norms and to reduce the risk of TR, battery safety standards have been developed. They facilitate and regulate the usage of LiBs available on the market by proposing standardised settings and tests.

Who develops battery standards?

The most used standards are proposed and developed by testing facilities, battery producers, device integrators, car manufacturers, and governmental bodies; the standards are constantly reviewed to make sure they maintain relevance with technology developments and applications.

What is a standard for EV batteries?

Standards for electric vehicle (EV) batteries 18.2.1. Scope of a standard Standards for EVs have different scopes such as those addressing: (1) the energy system itself; (2) the application of the batteries, that is, the EV system; (3) the interfaces between the EV and power grids; and (4) the infrastructure.

Does certification of battery standards ensure a Lib's safety?

Overall, while certification of battery standards does not ensure a LiB’s safety, further investigations in battery safety testing and the development of new standards can surely uncover the battery safety issues to assist efforts to ensure that future generations of LiBs are safer and more reliable.

What are the testing procedures for EV batteries?

Testing procedures for EV batteries Testing of batteries can generally be classified in (1) performance tests and (2) safety tests. Performance tests: They test the electrical behavior of a battery under normal operational conditions in an EV.
