Battery Performance Testing
Our commitment is to ensure that batteries meet the strict performance, safety, and quality criteria set by international standards. Our laboratory holds accreditations from renowned organizations such as DAkkS and IECEE CB.
Why Certify Batteries?
Battery certification is vital to guarantee the safety and reliability of batteries used in diverse products and devices. Compliance with recognized standards, such as IEC 62133-2, IEC 62133-1, and IEC 62619, ensures batteries fulfill safety requirements.
These requirements are necessary for use in electric vehicles, consumer electronics, medical devices, and other applications. Certification provides assurance to end-users and regulatory bodies regarding battery safety and reliability. Failure to certify batteries can result in severe consequences, including product recalls and legal liabilities.
The EU has proposed a sustainable battery regulation. This regulation and other regulations aim to set sustainability criteria for battery production. These criteria include raw material sourcing and end-of-life disposal.
Compliance with these regulations is crucial, and certification helps minimize risks and liabilities associated with non-compliance. Battery manufacturers, distributors, and users should prioritize certification to guarantee product safety and reliability while staying updated on the latest requirements.

Cell Performance (ageing) testing
Battery cell aging is necessary to determine the lifespan and performance of the battery. This process involves exposing the battery to different environmental and other factors, like temperature and cycling. This simulates the effects of long-term use.
We can identify potential safety hazards by subjecting battery cells to certain conditions. Additionally, we can evaluate the impact of aging on battery capacity, internal resistance, and other critical parameters.
Our laboratory can provide numerous channels with up to 5 V. Each channel has a maximum current of 50 A. We can also apply 1000 A in parallel. Furthermore, we can apply different temperature profiles for ambient conditions.
We record and measure data on capacity and internal resistance. This provides a comprehensive evaluation of the battery's performance and aging characteristics.
The data collected from this process is then used to develop detailed models of the battery’s performance and aging characteristics. This information is used for multiple purposes. It helps inform future design decisions, optimize battery performance, and guarantee safety and reliability for the intended application.
Our laboratory is equipped with advanced testing capabilities. We can simulate various real-world scenarios, such as high temperature and repeated discharging and recharging. We can also simulate extreme conditions. This allows us to evaluate the battery’s performance under a wide range of environmental and other conditions.
UN38.3 Transportation testing
At Kiwa Primara, we understand that ensuring the safety and reliability of lithium batteries during transportation is essential. That's why we offer UN 38.3 Transport Test services to ensure that your batteries meet the required safety criteria. This test includes a total of eight individual tests that are dependent on the type of lithium battery or cell.
Individual tests according to UN38.3:
