As US President trump signed a freeze order in January 2017, requiring a review of the 49cfr and hm-215n rules, the international logistics of lithium batteries in 2017 must be a hot spot in the industry. The road of non-standard small package shipping is becoming more and more difficult, and a compliant and stable logistics channel is the long-term way. So what is compliance? What kind of certification is required for lithium battery export?
1、 Air transportation qualification of lithium battery (UN38.3 certification)
UN38.3 test is a mandatory test to ensure that lithium batteries can be safely transported by air and sea. The scope of application involves almost the whole world and belongs to safety and performance test. As long as the shipping package involving air transportation contains lithium batteries, whether it is a small button battery, a battery installed on the equipment or a battery packaged with the equipment, it needs to undergo UN38.3 test and obtain the air transportation identification report before passing the air inspection.
2、 IEC 62133 certification
IEC 62133 is the world's most important international standard for lithium ion batteries and an important basis for iecee-cb certification. At present, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, India and other countries have adopted IEC 62133 to formulate their own national standards, which have become an important basis for market access of these countries. The latest edition of IEC 62133 was issued on February 7, 2017. IEC 62133 is under the jurisdiction of IEC / sc21a and specifically formulated by wg4. The first edition was released in 2002 and the second edition was released in 2012
3、 EU CE certification
The applicable scope is the EU region, which is divided into safety and performance testing. CE certification belongs to self declaration. If the manufacturer has the ability to test, it can label its products with CE compliance label for sale in Europe. However, if it fails to pass the spot check in the EU market, it will be called (very serious fine). Therefore, many domestic manufacturers entrust a third party to test, The risk of recall is largely avoided.
4、 Japan PSE certification
It is suitable for Japan, mainly for safety and performance testing. The "specific electrical appliances and materials" products entering the Japanese market must obtain the third-party certification approved by the Ministry of economy, trade and industry of Japan and mark the PSE diamond mark. The "non-specific electrical appliances and materials" products must make self declaration or apply for the third-party certification and mark the PSE circular mark. Both lithium batteries can be selected. At present, considering the cost, lithium battery plants choose circular lithium batteries, unless foreign guests require prismatic lithium batteries.
5、 Korea KC certification
It is applicable to South Korea. The test standard kc62133. In particular, it should be noted that the battery KC certification depends on whether the cell has been certified by KC or CB. If the cell has been certified by CB or KC, it should be directly certified by battery KC, and the cost is 15000-20000. If the cell is not made, the cost of making the whole product is 30000-35000.
6、 NOM certification in Mexico
The official Norma of Mexico publishes the standard nom-212-scfi-2017, which relates to primary cells and primary battery packs - maximum allowable limits of mercury and cadmium content - specifications, test methods and labeling requirements.
All batteries or cells that are parts of electronic and electrical products and are not sold separately do not need to apply for NOM certification in Mexico. The standard will be implemented from September 28, 2019.
7、 BIS certification in India
BIS testing certification is required for lithium battery import declaration, and the current standard is16046:2015 / iec62133:2012 will expire on July 11, 2019; At the same time, the new standards of is16046 (Part 1): 2018 / iec6213301:2017 and is16046 (Part 2): 2018 / iec6213301:2017 have been announced and updated. Users need to complete the application for standard update registration before that.
8、 SII certification in Israel
Lithium batteries and charged products imported from Israel must be certified by the standards institution of Israel (full name: the standards institution of Israel). All electronic and electrical products entering Israel must obtain SII certification. Israel is also a member state of ieecee-cb and can accept CB test reports issued by its iecee-cb member states.
9、 IEC 62133 certification
IEC 62133 is the world's most important international standard for lithium ion batteries and an important basis for iecee-cb certification. At present, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, India and other countries have adopted IEC 62133 to formulate their own national standards, which have become an important basis for market access of these countries. IEC 62133 edition was issued on February 7, 2017. IEC 62133 is under the jurisdiction of IEC / sc21a and specifically formulated by wg4. The first edition was released in 2002 and the second edition was released in 2012.
10、 UL Listed in the United States and Canada
UL of the United States successively formulated certification standards related to lithium batteries in 2016. Several standards cover the United States and Canada for equipment installed with lithium batteries:
Ul2272 personal mobility devices (including suspended skateboard);
Ul2849 electric bicycle ebikes; Electric motorbikes; Electric scooters escooters;
Ul3030 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones.
11、 Taiwan region
In June 2018, the Taiwan Bureau of standards issued a notice that the newly revised BSMI inspection regulations will be implemented on January 1, 2019, and the relevant inspection requirements for lithium batteries are revised:
3C secondary lithium battery mobile power supply;
3C secondary lithium single battery / pack (except button battery);
Secondary lithium battery / pack of electric locomotive;
Electric bicycle secondary lithium battery / pack;
Secondary lithium battery / pack of electric auxiliary bicycle;
3C battery charger (limited to 3C battery charger for AC to DC conversion);
Electric locomotive charger (off board type);
AC to DC power adapter;
Two types of products do not need inspection certificates: Medical batteries, lithium primary batteries and lithium primary battery packs.
