Battery for CB certificate must pass safety standards for testing
Thursday, December 31st, 2009Starting next year (October 26, 2010), battery products who wish to obtain CB certificate, except in accordance with UL 1642 test, we need to undertake additional testing to ensure that they meet safety standards IEC 62133 battery requirements. In particular after the end of the transitional period, from June 27, 2011 onwards, IEC 62133 standard will completely replace the UL 1642, Battery CB products made only in line with IEC 62133 certification requirements.
As we all know, the battery used improperly, can cause accidents such as burns and fires. In recent years, the battery safety incidents are frequently reported, the United States, Japan, Russia and other countries are mandatory for the battery in accordance with specific standards for testing. China is a battery-exporting countries, accounting for more than half of the world production yields. In recent years, Ningbo battery industry developed rapidly, the emergence of hundreds of manufacturing enterprises export a lot of well-known brands, has become a fairly large-scale dell laptop ac adapter battery production base in Zhejiang Province, from January to October this year, 235 million batteries have been successfully exports to the United States, the European Union, Japan, Southeast Asia, Taiwan and other countries and regions.
Battery industry is at a crucial stage of structural upgrading, and actively expand the export market is significant. Inspection and quarantine experts pointed out that to obtain batteries CB certificate required by the importing country in the application of other certificates, may waive or reduce the sending sample test, greatly reduce the cycle to enter the market, reduce costs and speed up exports. The IEC 62133 standard consists mainly of batteries and battery test project, due to the digital camera battery manufacturing and the complexity of testing finished products, the battery manufacturers in the detection of pre-certification should have a thorough understanding of the standard details and in production control, such as batteries design considerations of resistance continued to charge the ability to avoid detection in the final because they do not meet the IEC 62133 standard requirements to discourage exports.
