CERTIFICATIONS
DNV is an independent foundation with the purpose of safeguarding life, property, and the environment. Their history goes back to 1864, when the foundation was established in Norway to inspect and evaluate the technical condition of Norwegian merchant vessels.
Since then, their core competence has been to identify, assess, and advise on how to manage risk. DNV Maritime and Oil & Gas provides classification, verification, risk management and technical advisory services to the global maritime and oil and gas industries.
IEC 62133
Certification for secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes – Safety requirements for portable sealed secondary cells, and for batteries made from them, for use in portable applications.
IEC 62619
Certification for secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes – Safety requirements for secondary lithium cells and batteries, for use in industrial applications.
UL 2054
These requirements cover primary (nonrechargeable) and secondary (rechargeable) lithium batteries for use as power sources in products. These batteries contain metallic lithium, or a lithium alloy, or a lithium ion, and may consist of a single electrochemical cell or two or more cells connected in series, parallel, or both, that convert chemical energy into electrical energy by an irreversible or reversible chemical reaction. These requirements are intended to reduce the risk of fire or explosion when lithium batteries are used in a product.
UL 1973
These requirements cover electric energy storage systems as defined by this standard for use as energy storage for stationary applications such as for PV, wind turbine storage or for UPS, etc. applications. These requirements also cover electric energy storage systems (EESS) as defined by this standard for use in light electric rail (LER) applications and stationary rail applications such as rail substations. These systems are intended for installation within either the rail car or within a sheltered stationary location such as a rail substation.
UL 2580
These requirements cover electrical energy storage assemblies such as battery packs. This standard evaluates the electrical energy storage assembly’s ability to safely withstand simulated abuse conditions and prevents any exposure of persons to hazards as a result of the abuse.
UL 1642
These requirements cover primary (nonrechargeable) and secondary (rechargeable) lithium batteries for use as power sources in products.

RoHS, also known as Lead-Free, stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substances. RoHS, also known as Directive 2002/95/EC, originated in the European Union and restricts the use of six hazardous materials found in electrical and electronic products. All applicable products in the EU market after July 1, 2006 must pass RoHS compliance. RoHS impacts the entire electronics industry and many electrical products as well.
UN/DOT 38.3
Nearly all lithium batteries are required to pass section 38.3 of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria (UN Transportation Testing) to ensure the safety of lithium batteries during shipping.
Products bearing the FCC mark comply with the conducted and radiated electromagnetic emission limits approved by the US Federal Communications Commission.
All battery modules and BMS’s.
The CE marking is the manufacturer’s declaration that the product meets the requirements of the applicable EC directives.
