Information on Battery-Related Services
We continue to work on the evolution of battery safety science.
UL has been a global leader in battery safety science, issuing its first lithium battery standard 30 years ago. Since then, the size, types, energy density, and applications of batteries have significantly expanded. In response to these rapid technological advancements, UL continues to address the evolution of battery safety science through in-depth research activities, standard development, and certification testing necessary for establishing trust and entering the global market.
basic information
<UL Battery Evaluation: The Full Scope of Services> ■ Safety Testing/Certification Safety testing and certification that lead to entry into the global market and differentiation. UL has been a leader in safety testing and certification for battery products for over 30 years. ■ Performance Testing/Certification Whether it's benchmarking against competing products in materials, charging/discharging and overcharging tests for cells and battery packs, or environmental and altitude simulations in system integration, UL's performance testing can be utilized at any stage of the value chain. Additionally, battery products certified by UL as meeting the appropriate IEC standards can display the UL performance certification mark. ■ United Nations (UN)/U.S. Department of Transportation Transportation Testing UN/DOT 38.3 is an international standard established to ensure safety during the transportation of lithium batteries. UL has testing facilities around the world to demonstrate compliance with this standard. *For more details, please refer to the catalog.
