BQCIS

Validating Energy Storage for Safe and Reliable Operation

Batteries are central to modern energy systems — from portable devices to electric vehicles and grid storage. BQCIS Battery Performance & Safety Testing verifies compliance with UN 38.3, IEC 62133, UL 1642, and IEC 62619 standards, ensuring cells, modules, and packs operate safely under all foreseeable conditions.

Our accredited laboratories evaluate electrochemical stability, thermal behavior, and mechanical integrity through life-cycle simulations, abuse testing, and performance benchmarking. These data support CE, UL, CB, and transport approvals.

With dedicated facilities for environmental chambers, vibration tables, and nail penetration systems, BQCIS ensures your battery designs meet global safety and durability requirements before market release.

Key Activities in Battery Testing

Capacity & Cycle Life Testing

Measures charge/discharge performance and degradation over repeated cycles.

Overcharge & Overdischarge Tests

Evaluates cell stability and reaction under excessive current or voltage conditions.

Thermal Abuse Testing

Subjects cells to elevated temperatures to assess thermal runaway risk and containment.

Mechanical Shock & Vibration

Replicates transport conditions to confirm pack robustness under mechanical stress.

Crush & Nail Penetration

Tests internal short-circuit resistance and enclosure protection mechanisms.

Altitude Simulation

Verifies safety performance under low-pressure conditions per UN 38.3 requirements.

Temperature Cycling

Assesses material and seal performance across extreme hot/cold environments.

UN Transport Compliance

Full UN Manual of Tests and Criteria (T1–T8) verification for air, sea, and land shipment.

Certification & Reporting

Issuing accredited test reports and certificates to support global market access and regulatory approvals.

Success Story

Battery Qualification for Electric Mobility Start-up

The Challenge:

An electric vehicle start-up required third-party validation of new lithium-ion battery packs before pilot production.

Our Solution:

BQCIS executed IEC 62619 and UN 38.3 tests covering thermal stability, short-circuit, and vibration performance under full load cycles.

The Result:

The batteries met all transport and performance safety limits, enabling export approval and large-scale OEM supply contracts.
