BQCIS

Assuring Safety and Performance for the Energy Transition

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) play a vital role in supporting renewable grids and stabilizing power supply. As energy density and deployment scale increase, so does the importance of verified safety, durability, and transport compliance.

BQCIS Battery & Storage Systems provides end-to-end testing services for lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and flow batteries. We validate cycle life, performance, abuse safety, and transport readiness in compliance with IEC 62619, UL 1973, UL 9540, and UN 38.3.

Our laboratories replicate real-world grid and mobility conditions to confirm safety, capacity retention, and environmental resilience—ensuring reliability from cell to megawatt-hour system level.

Key Testing & Verification Activities

Safety & Abuse Testing (Thermal Runaway, UN 38.3)

We simulate mechanical, electrical, and thermal abuse scenarios to evaluate safety under extreme conditions. Tests include thermal runaway propagation, impact, crush, and short-circuit analysis. Our certification services ensure compliance with IEC 62619 and UN 38.3—critical for global transport and on-site installation safety.

Cycle Life & Performance Validation

Through accelerated charge/discharge cycling, we measure energy efficiency, degradation rate, and temperature behavior. Our independent validation supports OEMs and project financiers by confirming capacity warranties and operational reliability over thousands of cycles under varied environmental conditions.

Key Benefits of Battery Verification

Safety

Verified Safety Compliance

Ensures batteries meet IEC, UL, and UN safety criteria to prevent fires and thermal events during operation or transport.

Performance

Long-Term Performance Assurance

Cycle and capacity tests validate system longevity and provide data confidence for project investors and operators.

Efficiency

Operational Efficiency

Performance verification ensures batteries deliver reliable energy throughput across varied grid and climate conditions.

Reliability

Global Transport Readiness

UN 38.3 compliance testing certifies batteries for international shipping by air, sea, or road—ensuring market access.

Success Story

Capacity Testing Validates Grid-Scale Battery Performance

The Challenge:

A 50 MW BESS developer sought independent performance verification before commissioning. Investors required objective confirmation that actual energy throughput met the warranty guarantee.

Our Solution:

BQCIS executed capacity verification using precision charge/discharge cycling under grid-simulated loads. Testing confirmed power delivery consistency and cycle efficiency while benchmarking against OEM specifications.

The Result:

The system demonstrated 99% conformity to its rated performance, satisfying lender requirements and unlocking full project financing. The verified data provided confidence for long-term asset operation and warranty support.
