The demand for battery safety testing continues to rise as electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and portable electronics expand across global markets. Each region has developed its own safety regulations, testing protocols, and battery certification requirements.
As a result, manufacturers often face a complex regulatory environment that varies significantly by country. This article examines the major advantages of working with MCM for multi-country certification and explains how these advantages support faster and more reliable market entry.
Why Global Battery Safety Testing Matters
Battery safety testing ensures that energy storage products can withstand real-world risks such as thermal runaway, overcharging, mechanical stress, and temperature variation. When international standards diverge, manufacturers must manage multiple battery testing standards and varying technical criteria. This increases the workload for engineering teams and raises the cost of compliance.
MCM provides a solution through our long-term involvement in global certification and its extensive technical resources. We bring more than 18 years of experience and maintain comprehensive testing qualifications, including CMA, CNAS, and CBTL status.
These capabilities make it possible to streamline complicated approval processes and support the rapid evaluation of battery cells, modules, and packs.
Country-by-Country Advantages of MCM’s Certification Services
Japan: PSE Certification
MCM maintains a full set of PSE testing equipment and can produce both Japanese and English test reports. We have developed strong working relationships with Japanese institutions, making application communication more efficient.
MCM has also accumulated more than 5,000 completed PSE cases, demonstrating its extensive experience in helping manufacturers access the Japanese market.
Korea: KC Certification
MCM holds CBTL status, which enables customers to use CB testing results to obtain KC certificates. This reduces repeated testing and saves both time and cost.
The team also monitors updates to Korean standards and provides guidance to manufacturers as regulatory requirements evolve.
China: CQC and CCC Certification
MCM operates advanced equipment for battery cell testing, modules, and complete battery packs. We collaborate closely with CQC and provide support for factory audits, helping manufacturers understand compliance expectations before formal reviews.
These advantages help shorten preparation time and improve the likelihood of passing on the first attempt.
United States and Canada: CTIA, WERCSmart, cTUVus, and ETL
MCM is authorized by CTIA and provides full support for testing, data uploading, and audits.
We maintain communication channels with WERCSmart auditors, allowing faster resolution of issues during product registration.
MCM also serves as a witness laboratory for TUV RH and ITS and participates in UL technical activities as a member of the UL Standards Committee, which gives customers access to advanced insight into American safety requirements.
European Union: CE and the New Battery Regulation
MCM helps manufacturers evaluate multiple CE directives and harmonized standards relevant to batteries and battery-powered products.
We are also familiar with the transition to the European Union’s new Battery Regulation, which introduces updated compliance and sustainability requirements. This knowledge allows manufacturers to avoid delays and maintain compliance with changing EU rules.
Taiwan: BSMI
MCM has supported more than one thousand battery products in passing BSMI approval on the first submission. We offer integrated solutions that allow one set of tests to support multiple certification targets, making it easier for manufacturers who plan to enter Taiwan along with other global markets.
Vietnam: MIC
MCM co-built a Vietnam laboratory and serves as the only strategic partner for certification services in the China region.
Manufacturers can obtain first-hand regulatory updates, technical interpretation, and one-stop solutions that cover battery safety testing, certification, and local representation.
These advantages help reduce administrative time and simplify communication with local authorities.
Brazil: ANATEL
Close cooperation with Brazilian accredited institutions allows MCM to offer practical and reliable solutions for ANATEL certification.
We provide flexible service options that help reduce testing cycles and improve the predictability of regulatory approval in Brazil.
Australia and New Zealand: CEC, EESS, and RCM
MCM is a recommended SAA laboratory and provides one-stop services for testing and certification. The team also maintains strong communication with the Clean Energy Council, which improves efficiency in resolving application challenges.
MCM further supports the full EESS and RCM application process, enabling smooth entry into Australia and New Zealand markets.
Conclusion
MCM delivers multi-country battery safety testing services that help manufacturers navigate complex global battery safety regulations. Our localized experience, established partnerships, and consistent testing capabilities make it possible to reduce approval timelines and minimize compliance risks.
