Introduction of EN62133 battery certification

In March 2013, CENELEC officially released the battery safety standard EN 62133:2013. This standard mainly aims at the safety requirements of single battery and battery pack containing alkaline or non acid electrolyte and portable sealed monomer battery and battery pack. The new standard will replace the first edition of en62133:2003 issued in 2003. At the same time, the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization has also specified the expiration date of the old version of EN 62133. According to the requirements, en 62133:2003 will be officially withdrawn on January 10, 2016. Micro test reminds battery manufacturers and battery product manufacturers to pay attention to importing the new version of EN 62133:2013 as soon as possible, so as to avoid the impact on the export of battery products to Europe.

  Electrical products entering the EU (such as mobile phones, tablets, electric toys, power tools, etc.) need to meet the requirements of the EU new method directive and affix CE mark. As the accessories of many terminal products (such as mobile phones, electric toys, tablet computers, etc.), the safety of batteries needs to be considered in combination with these end products. Therefore, many customers of end products require that their parts should also be labeled with CE label in order to better meet the requirements of relevant instructions.
Therefore, if the battery products of export enterprises can meet the requirements of EN62133 standard and attach CE mark, the competitiveness of their products in the market will be enhanced and the enterprises will strive for a larger market.
