IEC 62133-2 is an international safety standard for the testing and certification of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. It focuses on safety requirements during normal operation and foreseeable misuse.
IEC 62133-2 is one of the most important safety standards for lithium-ion batteries. It applies to batteries used in portable devices like laptops, mobile phones, and power tools, ensuring their safety throughout the lifecycle, from manufacturing to disposal.
Manufacturers must comply with IEC 62133-2 to sell their batteries internationally, as it is widely accepted as the benchmark for safe lithium-ion battery use. Non-compliance can result in product recalls, legal penalties, and reputational damage.
IEC 62133-2 plays a vital role in ensuring the safety of lithium-ion batteries, protecting both consumers and manufacturers from potential hazards associated with battery failure.
