IEC 62133 Battery Overcharge Protection Testing: Laboratory Testing Services

Standard-Related Information

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Standard 62133 is a globally recognized standard that governs the testing of battery overcharge protection in portable batteries. This standard is essential for ensuring the safety and reliability of lithium-ion batteries, which are widely used in various industries such as consumer electronics, automotive, and renewable energy.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

IEC 62133 is a mandatory requirement for many countries, including those that have adopted the European Unions (EU) directives on battery safety. The standard is also recognized by major industry organizations, such as the International Association of Automobile Manufacturers (OICA) and the Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century (REN21).

International and National Standards

IEC 62133 is a harmonized standard that has been adopted by various countries around the world. Some notable examples include:

  • European Standard EN 62133
  • Chinese Standard GB/T 29483-2013
  • Japanese Industrial Standard JIS C 8717:2015
  • American National Standard ANSI/UL 2958
  • Standard Development Organizations

    IEC 62133 is developed and maintained by the IEC, a non-profit organization that brings together experts from around the world to develop and maintain standards for electrical equipment. Other standard development organizations (SDOs) involved in the development of battery safety standards include:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
  • German Institute for Standards (DIN)
  • Standard Evolution and Updates

    Standards evolve over time to reflect changes in technology, regulations, and best practices. IEC 62133 is regularly updated to ensure that it remains relevant and effective in ensuring battery safety.

    Some notable updates include:

  • Release of IEC 62133-2:2017, which introduces new testing requirements for lithium-ion batteries
  • Revision of Annex A, which provides guidance on testing procedures
  • Standard Numbers and Scope

    IEC 62133 is a comprehensive standard that covers various aspects of battery overcharge protection testing. The standard consists of several parts, including:

  • IEC 62133-1:2017 - Requirements for battery-overcharge protection devices
  • IEC 62133-2:2017 - Testing requirements for lithium-ion batteries
  • Standard Compliance Requirements

    Compliance with IEC 62133 is mandatory in many industries, particularly those that involve the use of portable batteries. Some notable examples include:

  • Consumer electronics manufacturers (e.g., smartphones, laptops)
  • Automotive manufacturers (e.g., electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles)
