What is IEC 62133 Testing?

IEC 62133 is an international standard for testing rechargeable lithium-ion cells and batteries used in portable applications, including aviation and aerospace. The standard specifies the requirements for evaluating the safety of these cells and batteries, including their thermal performance, electrical properties, and mechanical integrity.

Why is IEC 62133 Testing Essential?

The use of non-compliant or poorly designed batteries can have catastrophic consequences in the aviation and aerospace industries. A single faulty battery can lead to a series of events that ultimately result in an accident, injury, or even loss of life.

By undergoing IEC 62133 testing, businesses can

Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements Aviation and aerospace companies must adhere to strict regulations governing the use of batteries on board aircraft and spacecraft. IEC 62133 testing ensures that batteries meet these requirements.
Mitigate risk and prevent accidents By identifying potential safety issues before they become a problem, businesses can minimize the risk of accidents and protect their reputation.
Protect passengers and crew The safety of air travelers and astronauts depends on the reliability and performance of onboard batteries. IEC 62133 testing helps to ensure that these critical systems meet the highest standards of safety.
Increase efficiency and reduce costs By identifying and addressing potential issues early in the design process, businesses can avoid costly re-designs and minimize downtime.
