EU Battery Directive testing involves multiple standards and test items to ensure the safety and environmental friendliness of battery products in the European market. Here are the details about EU Battery Directive testing:
1. Overview
The EU Battery Directive aims to regulate the production and use of batteries and accumulators and reduce their impact on the environment. The directive requires battery products to meet a series of safety and environmental standards before they can enter the European market.
2. Main test standards
- EN 62133: This is a safety standard for portable sealed batteries and battery packs, applicable to lithium-ion batteries and nickel-metal hydride batteries.
- EN 61000: This is a standard on electromagnetic compatibility, ensuring that batteries work properly in an electromagnetic environment.
3. Test items
According to the EN 62133 standard, the battery test items mainly include:
Test type | Test items
Environmental test, continuous low-rate charging, vibration, temperature cycle, thermal abuse
Electrical test, external short circuit, overcharge, forced discharge, high-speed charging
Mechanical test, drop, impact (collision), extrusion, heavy object impact
Other tests, altitude simulation, low air pressure, improper installation (nickel system)
4. Test process
1. Application: Fill in the application form, provide company information and product information, and send samples.
2. Quotation: Determine the test standards, time and cost based on the information provided.
3. Payment: After confirming the quotation, sign the application form and service agreement and pay the money.
4. Testing: The laboratory conducts a full set of tests on the product according to EU standards.
5. Report: After the test is passed, complete the test report.
6. Certification: Issue CE certificate, the product complies with EU directive requirements.
5. Other related tests
In addition to the EN 62133 and EN 61000 standards, battery products may also need other tests, such as:
- UN 38.3: Tests for lithium battery transportation safety, including altitude simulation, temperature cycling, vibration, shock and other items.
- RoHS test: Ensure that the battery product does not contain harmful substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, etc.
6. Certification agency
In order to ensure the validity and fairness of the test results, it is recommended to select a third-party certification agency recognized by the EU for testing and certification. These agencies usually have the corresponding technical and management capabilities and have passed the EU's evaluation and review.
7. Notes
- Data preparation: Provide complete product information and samples to ensure that the test goes smoothly.
- Compliance: Ensure that the product complies with all relevant EU directives and standards to avoid being unable to enter the market due to non-compliance.
Through the above tests and certifications, battery products can ensure safety and environmental protection in the European market, so as to enter and sell smoothly.
