IEC 62620 Certification
SIG ENERGY TECHNOLOGY is proud to announce that the Lithium-Ion cell L173F163B has successfully passed the international standard IEC 62620.
This validation confirms that the cell meets the expected safety, performance, durability, and compliance criteria for industrial applications.
What is IEC 62620?
IEC 62620 is an international standard developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). This standard serves as a performance benchmark for manufacturers and users of lithium-ion cells. It helps to ensure that the cells meet rigorous criteria to guarantee the reliability of systems in industrial environments.
Criteria and Tests for IEC 62620 Compliance
To be compliant with IEC 62620, a cell must meet a set of performance criteria. These criteria concern its main characteristics: capacity, internal resistance, behavior at different temperatures, cycling stability, and the absence of physical deformation during tests. Each of these parameters is evaluated and compared against the values in the technical data sheet, which serves as the initial reference. However, the IEC does not limit itself to this simple verification, as the standard applies its own validation criteria, ensuring that the cell's performance is independently verified on an international scale.
This ensures that the cell meets performance requirements for use in industrial applications.
Benefits of IEC 62620 Standard Validation
This validation significantly speeds up the qualification of modules and battery packs incorporating the L173F163B cell, relying on the recognition of the standard.
For integrators and manufacturers, particularly in high-demand fields such as automotive and maritime, this certification provides a strong assurance of quality and reliability. It also facilitates the certification of complete batteries, reducing time to market and ensuring regulatory compliance in critical environments.
