BQCIS

Assuring Safety and Performance for EV Power Systems

Battery packs and energy-storage systems define the range, reliability, and safety of electric and hybrid vehicles. Their high energy density demands exhaustive testing to validate resilience against shock, thermal runaway, and long-term degradation.

BQCIS provides full-scope testing from cell to complete pack, covering UN 38.3 transport safety, IEC 62133 safety compliance, and UL 2580 performance verification. Our accredited facilities conduct controlled abuse, vibration, and thermal stability trials under globally recognized standards.

We verify cycle life, capacity retention, and thermal integrity—ensuring every system meets durability targets for OEM approval, warranty assurance, and regulatory acceptance across global EV markets.

Key Testing & Validation Activities

Abuse, Safety & Transport Testing (UN 38.3)

Mandatory UN 38.3 testing for lithium-ion cells and packs to certify transport safety via shock, crush, vibration, and overcharge simulation. Additional thermal stability and nail-penetration tests assess resistance to internal short-circuit and runaway events—critical for vehicle integration compliance.

Performance & Cycle-Life Validation

Evaluation of capacity retention, charge-discharge efficiency, and energy density over extended duty cycles. Simulated temperature profiles replicate real-world EV conditions, ensuring accurate prediction of degradation rates and validating warranty claims.

Key Benefits of Battery Testing

Benefit 1

Regulatory Compliance

Meets global transport and safety mandates under UN 38.3, IEC 62133, and IEC 62619 to ensure cross-border acceptance.

Benefit 2

Enhanced Safety Assurance

Detects potential failure modes early—mitigating risks of fire, explosion, or leakage during service or transport.

Benefit 3

Performance Validation

Independent verification of cycle-life and capacity ensures manufacturer claims align with real-world reliability expectations.

Benefit 4

Market Readiness

Supports homologation, investor confidence, and end-user trust through verified product durability and certification.

Success Story

Capacity Testing Validates Grid-Scale Battery Performance

The Challenge:

A 50 MW grid-storage developer required third-party confirmation that installed capacity and degradation rates met contract warranties before financial closure.

Our Solution:

BQCIS executed controlled charge-discharge cycling and capacity verification under simulated grid load conditions. Power output, energy throughput, and degradation curves were benchmarked against OEM guarantees.

The Result:

Verified performance within 99 % of warranty parameters unlocked project financing and secured long-term operational confidence for the operator.
