BQCIS

Ensuring Safety and Reliability in Electric Vehicle Technology

The rapid growth of Electric Vehicles (EVs) depends on the verified performance and safety of lithium-ion batteries and high-voltage propulsion systems. To mitigate fire, shock, and transport hazards, compliance with global standards is mandatory.

BQCIS provides integrated testing and certification covering cells, modules, and complete battery packs. We verify compliance with IEC 62619, UL 2580, and UN 38.3 standards, including validation of charging systems and high-voltage control architecture.

Our accredited labs perform full abuse and performance testing — short circuit, crush, puncture, thermal stability, and long-term cycle life — ensuring that EV batteries meet both safety and durability expectations for global market deployment.

Key EV & Battery Certification Activities

Safety & Abuse Testing (UN 38.3 / UL 2580)

We perform full abuse and transport safety testing to evaluate cell and pack resilience under external short circuits, overcharge, crush, and penetration. Our tests certify compliance with UN 38.3 for shipping and UL 2580 for in-vehicle safety, ensuring systems remain stable and non-propagating during failure events.

Performance, Cycle Life & Homologation Validation

Long-term cycle life testing verifies capacity retention and energy efficiency across thousands of charge-discharge cycles. We also confirm functional safety (ISO 26262) and EMC performance for integration within full vehicle platforms, supplying data essential for type-approval and homologation certification.

Key Benefits of EV Certification

Safety

Global Safety Compliance

Ensures batteries meet international transport and safety regulations (UN 38.3, UL 2580, IEC 62619) to access global markets.

Reliability

Enhanced Reliability & Performance

Cycle-life verification and stress testing provide confidence in long-term energy delivery and battery health.

Efficiency

Streamlined Certification Path

Integrated testing shortens the approval process for OEMs seeking rapid EV platform deployment.

Confidence

OEM & Consumer Confidence

Independent validation from BQCIS strengthens product credibility and supports warranty assurance programs.

Success Story

UN 38.3 Testing Secures Global Export of EV Battery Cells

The Challenge:

A lithium-ion cell producer faced export delays because shipments lacked mandatory UN 38.3 certification for air and sea transport, halting deliveries to key automotive clients.

Our Solution:

BQCIS executed the full UN 38.3 test sequence — altitude, vibration, shock, thermal, short-circuit, crush, and impact — using certified sample cells to simulate real shipping conditions.

The Result:

All tests passed successfully. The resulting BQCIS certification enabled immediate resumption of exports, restoring supply continuity and ensuring full compliance with international dangerous goods transport regulations.
