UL launches standards for electric car batteries

By UL (Underwriters Laboratories) on 25th November 200915th December 2015

Product Details Supplier Info More products

UL has announced its intent to release a set of requirements for large batteries in electric vehicles.

Before becoming a standard, these requirements will undergo a comprehensive review process by a global Standard Technical Panel (STP).

While UL Subject 2580 will not be mandated, manufacturers will have the option of certifying to its requirements to help reduce risks.

In addition to developing new standards for large batteries, UL has been conducting tests and certifying to existing standards for numerous hybrid and battery-electric vehicle components.

Some of these components include motors, connectors and battery chargers.

UL tests these components for overload protection, shock and flammability, among other hazards.
