UL 1973 Battery Testing
The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) evaluates energy storage systems (ESS) in compliance with UL 1973 battery testing standards. The lithium-ion battery industry is rapidly expanding as manufacturers attempt to keep up with the ever-increasing demand for efficient battery systems. Our battery testing experts ensure our clients’ batteries are UL 1973-compliant, ensuring they’re safe for use in various applications and environments.
What is the UL 1973 Battery Testing Standard?
The UL 1973 standard is a safety standard for energy storage systems such as vehicle auxiliary power, stationary batteries, and Light Electric Rail (LER) batteries. The standard details the requirements manufacturers must comply with to earn safety certifications for their ESS. The standard presents requirements for the following:
- Electrical Testing
- Environmental Safety
- Fire Safety
- Mechanical Design
- Thermal Management
The Importance of UL 1973 Battery Testing
Batteries are highly complex devices that greatly expand the possibilities of modern technology, but they’re not without their dangers. Our battery testing subject batteries to the conditions necessary to ensure that the devices undergo the testing and analysis required to qualify the product in the marketplace. Failure to adhere to battery safety regulations and guidelines may result in severe consequences such as:
- Product Recalls and Legal Complications
- Unsafe Operations and Potential Hazards
- Reduced Consumer Trust
- Market Ineligibility
