The certifications required for exporting lithium battery products are: 1. KC Certification 2. UN38.3 Certification 3. IEC 62133 Certification 4. Battery MSDS/SDS Report; . European Battery Directive; 7. UL certification; 8. PSE Certification
KC Certification
Applicable to South Korea, KC62133 testing standard, special attention should be paid to whether the battery is used. KC certification depends on whether the battery core is present or not. If the battery has been certified by KC or CB, if the battery cell has been certified by CB or KC, then directly make the KC battery, which costs 15,000 to 20,000. If the battery core is not made , the manufacturing cost of the whole product is 30,000-35,000.
UN38.3 certification
The scope of application almost covers the whole world. This is a security and performance test. As long as it involves air transport, the shipping package contains lithium batteries. , regardless of their size, button batteries, batteries installed on the equipment or batteries packaged with the equipment must all undergo UN38.3 testing and obtain an air transport identification report before they can pass the aerial inspection. The certification cycle varies from a few days to a month (mainly depending on product capacity and preliminary state testing), and certification fees range from a few thousand RMB to more than 10,000 RMB.
So how to choose a certification agency to apply for this certification? In fact, as long as it meets IEC17025 laboratory requirements, has appropriate professional UN38.3 testing equipment, and relies on solid technical guidance, it can conduct UN38.3 testing and issue test report UN38.3; it should be noted that: the final air transport identification reportmust be examined and issued by a dangerous goods identification agency directly authorized by the Civil Aviation Administration of China. The difference between UNDOT (UND38.3) and other certifications lies in the effects of the others. certifications are reflected in the terminal sales market and the effects of UNDOT testing are reflected in the transportation process.
Lithium batteries exported to Europe require CE certification.
Battery exports to the EU require CE certification. The EU has relevant requirements for battery safety and environmental protection. CE Certification: The CE certification of the battery mainly concerns the EC Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive. EN/IEC 6133 Test: Testing battery safety requirements, such as continuous charging, dropping, collision, forced discharge, temperature cycling, external short circuit, etc. European Battery Directive 2013/56/EU: stipulates limits for heavy metals lead, cadmium and mercury in batteries.
Goods including lithium batteries may receive one or more CE elements, such as Protection Directive, EMC Directive, RoHS Directive, Radio Equipment Directive or other directives . In this case, the buyer follows the relevant CE instructions and proceeds to affix the CE marking to the product.
Lithium battery:
Lithium battery is a type of battery that uses lithium metal or lithium alloy as the positive electrode material /negative and uses a non-aqueous electrolyte solution material. The lithium metal battery was invented by Gilber in 1912. Proposed and researched by t N. Lewis.
In the 1970s, M. S. Whittingham proposed and began to study lithium-ion batteries. PRSince the chemical properties of lithium metal are very active, the processing, storage and use of lithium metal are subject to very high environmental requirements. With the development of science and technology, lithium batteries have become mainstream.
Lithium batteries can be roughly divided into two categories: lithium metal batteries and lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries do not contain metallic lithium and are rechargeable. The fifth generation product of rechargeable batteries, lithium metal batteries, was born in 1996. Its safety, specific capacity, self-discharge rate and performance-price ratio are better than those of lithium-ion batteries.
