GB/T 28164 Battery Testing

Testing Requirements & Compliance Points

GB/T 28164 is a key Chinese national standard covering the safety requirements for portable sealed secondary cells and batteries (such as lithium-ion systems) containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes.

• Correlation with IEC Standards: GB/T 28164 is closely aligned with international standards like IEC 62133, ensuring consistency in evaluating battery safety in electronic equipment.
• Safety Under Normal and Abnormal Operations: Rigorous testing ensures that the battery will not catch fire, explode, or leak excessively under normal use and foreseeable misuse.
• Testing Protocols: Includes continuous low-rate charging, vibration, temperature cycling, incorrect installation, external short circuit, and mechanical shock testing.
• CQC Certification Integration: Compliance with GB/T 28164 is often an integral part of obtaining CQC voluntary certification and aligns with mandatory regulatory paths for electronics in China.
