Certification
and Assurance
Core Offerings
UL2580 Assurance Testing
We conduct pre-certification testing and evaluation against the UL2580 standard, which covers batteries used in electric vehicles. Our testing encompasses the critical electrical, mechanical, and environmental tests specified in the standard, providing you with a clear understanding of your battery’s compliance status and potential areas for improvement before undergoing formal UL certification.
IEC 62133 Assurance Testing
Following the cell teardown, individual cell components (electrodes, separator, electrolyte, current collectors, housing, etc.) are carefully examined. This may involve visual inspection under magnification, dimensional measurements, and material characterization techniques. The goal is to identify any manufacturing defects (e.g., tears, wrinkles, contamination), signs of premature degradation (e.g., corrosion, delamination), or inconsistencies in material quality that could contribute to potential failures.
Other Relevant Certification Standards Assurance
We also provide pre-certification testing and evaluation against other relevant battery safety and performance standards, such as:
- UN 38.3: Testing to ensure the safety of batteries during transportation.
- Automotive Standards (e.g., SAE J2464, GMW3172): Pre-compliance testing against specific automotive battery standards.
Gap Analysis and Consulting:
Beyond testing, our experienced team offers gap analysis services. We can assess your battery design and existing test data against the specific requirements of your target certification standards. This helps identify any potential areas of non-compliance, allowing you to implement corrective actions before engaging with official certification bodies. We also provide consulting services to help you understand the nuances of different certification requirements and test procedures.
