IEC 62133: 2012 Lithium Battery Safety Performance Test Equipment Laboratory Center

Description:

Battery safety performance test equipment center is mainly due to the test battery in the design, production, transportation, use and specific environmental conditions of the safety performance of the battery can be electrical safety tests and battery environmental testing. The electrical safety test includes the battery external short circuit test, free fall test, thermal abuse test, crush test, over-charging and forced discharge test, mechanical test(vibration test and shock test have added according to IEC 62133-2:2017 ), forced internal short-circuit test.

Battery environmental tests include short circuit, free fall, extrusion, acupuncture, impact, vibration, acceleration shock, thermal shock, low pressure, temperature cycling, and combustion jet test. The battery is equipped with a temperature-controlled short-circuit test chamber, the battery thermal shock test chamber,

8.3.8 Transport tests

Regulations concerning international transport of lithium ion batteries are based on the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. Testing requirements are defined in the UN Manual of Tests & Criteria. As regulations are subject to change, the latest editions should be consulted. For reference, transportation tests are also given in IEC 62281. Manufacturer’s documentation can be provided to demonstrate compliance.

But according to the latest IEC 62133:2017 test standard, vibration test and shock test have added in the new standard. For more details, please check in the IEC website:https://domino.iec.ch/publication/32662

8.3.9 Design evaluation - Forced internal short circuit (cells)

a) Requirement: Forced internal short circuit test for cylindrical cells and prismatic cells shall not cause the fire. Cell manufacturers shall keep a record to meet the requirements. A new design evaluation shall be done by the cell manufacturer after testing is conducted by the cell manufacturer or a third party test house.
This country-specific test which is only applicable to France, Japan, Korea and Switzerland and is not required on polymer cells.

b) Acceptance criteria: No fire. (Record the pressure when short-circuit occurred if there was no fire.)

c) Test equipment recommended: GX-6055-C
