Comprehensive Guide to Eurolabs RoHS Testing of Batteries and Accumulators Laboratory Testing Service

RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) testing is a critical process for evaluating the safety and compliance of batteries and accumulators with environmental regulations. The European Unions Directive 2002/95/EC, commonly known as RoHS I, restricts the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, including batteries and accumulators.

ISO Standards

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has developed a series of standards that govern the testing and evaluation of batteries and accumulators. Some key ISO standards related to RoHS testing include:

  • ISO 14001:2015 - Environmental management systems -- Requirements with guidance for use

  • ISO 9001:2015 - Quality management systems -- Requirements

  • ISO/IEC 17025:2005 - General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

    • ASTM Standards

    The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has also developed standards related to RoHS testing. Some key ASTM standards include:

  • ASTM D6220-01(2016) - Standard Guide for Selection and Use of Battery Test Methods

  • ASTM D7151/D7151M-14 - Standard Specification for Rechargeable Alkaline Manganese Dioxide Batteries

    • EN Standards

    The European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) has developed EN standards related to RoHS testing. Some key EN standards include:

  • EN 12405:2016 - Nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries for use in mobile power sources

  • EN 61960-2:2020 - Secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes -- Safety requirements for secondary lithium cells and batteries, including lithium-ion cells and batteries

    • TSE Standards

    The Turkish Standardization Institute (TSE) has developed standards related to RoHS testing. Some key TSE standards include:

  • TS EN 12405:2016 - Nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries for use in mobile power sources

  • TS EN 61960-2:2020 - Secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes -- Safety requirements for secondary lithium cells and batteries, including lithium-ion cells and batteries

    • Standard Development Organizations

    Standard development organizations (SDOs) play a crucial role in developing and maintaining standards related to RoHS testing. Some key SDOs include:

  • International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)

  • European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC)
