What is CB certification?

CB certification is an international certification created by IECEE. Its goal is “One test, multiple applications”. The aim is to achieve mutual recognition of product safety test results from laboratories and certification bodies within the scheme worldwide, so as to facilitate international trade.

Importance of  IEC 62619 for Energy Storage Battery Manufacturers

• Used for certificate transfer (e.g. KC certificate).
• Meet the requirements of IEC 62619 for battery system certification in other countries or regions (e.g. CEC in Australia).
• Meet the requirements of end product (forklift) certification.

Scope

1、Lithium battery for mobile equipment: Forklift, golf cart, AGV, railway, ship;

2、Lithium battery for fixed equipment: Uninterruptible power supply (UPS), energy storage equipment, emergency power supply.

FAQ

• Q: What is IEC62619?

A: Secondary lithium batteries and cells used in mobile and fixed working conditions for industrial products are cited by power storage systems in many countries and regions, and are used as the basic standard for battery systems in the certification of power storage systems

IEC62619:2017 standard issued: 2017-02-13

IEC62619:2022 standard issued: 2022-05-24

Compared with the 2017 edition, the new version of IEC 62619:2022 requires special attention from customers, and needs to be considered in the early design and development process: the requirements for system locks have been added

• Q: What is BMS Functional Safety (Battery Management System)?

A: IEC62619 cell does not involve BMS, the battery needs to include BMS functional safety assessment, that is, the battery management system, as one of the core components of the energy storage system, its functional safety is related to the safe and stable operation of the entire lithium-ion energy storage power station. It is necessary to consider the reliability design of the safety control system of the energy storage battery, and ensure that the battery cell or protection board can avoid serious catastrophic accidents after conventional failures through safety design and test demonstration.

• Q: IEC62619 is the scope of application?

A: Forklift truck, golf cart, automatic guided transport vehicle AGV/ unmanned carrier, railway or ship, mining car, uninterruptable power supply UPS, emergency power supply, energy storage system, power grid switching system, mobile communication, telecom base station and other power storage equipment

• Q: IEC62619 to meet the way?

A:

Option 1: Commissioned testing at MCM: low cost, optional projects, with proof

Option 2: Applying for MCM test at MCM + The way NCB issues CB certificate: the way commonly used, highly recognized, and can be used for transfer in some countries.
