IEC 62133 Certification

Testing Requirements & Compliance Points

IEC 62133 is the primary international safety standard for lithium-ion batteries and cells used in portable and industrial electronic devices. It evaluates the safe operation of batteries under foreseeable misuse and fault conditions.

• Electrical Tests: Overcharge, short-circuit, and forced discharge testing to ensure built-in safety mechanisms prevent fire or explosion.
• Mechanical Tests: Crush, drop, and vibration tests to evaluate structural resilience under physical stress.
• Thermal Tests: Temperature cycling and thermal abuse tests, proving the battery's safety in extreme temperature environments.
• Global Acceptance: IEC 62133 serves as the foundational standard for the CB Scheme, enabling access to numerous global markets.
