EN62133
1. Introduction to EN62133 battery certification
In March 2013, CENELEC, the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization, officially released the EN 62133: 2013 version of the battery safety standard. This standard is mainly aimed at the safety requirements of single batteries and battery packs containing alkaline or non-acid electrolytes and portable sealed single batteries and battery packs. The new standard will replace the first edition of EN62133: 2003 issued in 2003. At the same time, the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization also specified the expiration date of the old version of EN 62133. According to the requirements, the EN 62133: 2003 version will be officially withdrawn on January 10, 2016. Microtest testing reminds major battery manufacturers and battery product manufacturers to pay attention to the introduction of the new version of EN 62133: 2013 as soon as possible, so as not to affect the future export of battery products to the European region.
Electrical products entering the EU (such as mobile phones, tablets, electric toys, power tools, etc.) need to meet the requirements of the EU's new method directives and affix the CE mark. As an accessory of many terminal products (such as mobile phones, electric toys, tablet computers, etc.), the safety of batteries needs to be considered in conjunction with these terminal products. Therefore, many terminal product customers require the best parts and components for their own product safety considerations. Haoyi also affixed the CE mark, so that its products better meet the requirements of relevant directives.
Therefore, if the battery products of an export company can meet the requirements of EN62133 standard and affix the CE mark, it will enhance the competitiveness of its products in the market and strive for a larger market for the company.
