BS EN 61960 Standards Compliance Testing of Secondary Lithium Cells

BS EN 61960 Standards Compliance Testing of Secondary Lithium Cells

The BS EN 61960 standard is a comprehensive framework designed to ensure the safety and performance of secondary lithium cells. This service focuses on testing these cells against the stringent requirements outlined in this European standard, which are crucial for manufacturers aiming to meet regulatory compliance and enhance product reliability.

The scope of BS EN 61960 covers various tests that assess the mechanical integrity, electrical characteristics, thermal stability, and chemical compatibility of secondary lithium cells. These batteries are widely used in portable electronics, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems, making their safety paramount to both consumers and manufacturers alike.

Before delving into the specifics of testing procedures, it is important to understand why compliance with BS EN 61960 is essential. This standard not only ensures that batteries perform consistently under a wide range of conditions but also helps prevent potential hazards such as overheating or short circuits. By adhering to these stringent requirements, manufacturers can build trust among end-users and demonstrate their commitment to quality.

The testing process involves rigorous examination using specialized equipment designed specifically for battery evaluation. Specimens are subjected to various environmental stresses including temperature cycling, vibration simulation, and accelerated aging processes. Additionally, electrical performance tests measure capacity retention rates, internal impedance changes, and charge-discharge cycles over time.

One of the key aspects of this service is ensuring accurate data collection throughout all stages of testing. Our state-of-the-art laboratories employ advanced measurement techniques to provide precise results that can be used as evidence for regulatory submissions or internal quality control purposes. Reporting follows strict guidelines set forth by international standards organizations like ISO and EN, guaranteeing transparency and consistency across different jurisdictions.
