As ever, we are proud of our ability to offer bespoke testing according to customer-specific requirements.
We at Resonate testing provide a wide range of battery safety testing services that will help to mitigate the risks associated Lithium battery powered devices, helping to ensure safety especially during transportation and customer use. These include thermal runaway propagation tests, nail penetration tests, impact, crush and overcharge, to name but a few.
The finished lithium or lithium Ion battery has been identified as a Class 9 dangerous good during transport, as a result of a potential fire hazard. As such, they should be subjected to the range of electrical and mechanical tests included within UN 38.3 for the transportation of dangerous goods. This standard applies to batteries being transported on their own or within devices.
