What this standard covers

Test object: Portable cell safety for Lithium-ion batteries. Scope: Safety requirements for portable sealed secondary lithium cells and batteries — overcharge, short circuit, thermal abuse.

Standards define test procedures and pass criteria — the measured values are only comparable when the same standard and conditions apply. See the CCA reference for the standards' measurement context.

How this test is used

IEC 62133 is used to assess portable cell safety for lithium-ion batteries in International. The result is only meaningful when the sample, conditioning and test conditions match the standard; a number without those details is not comparable.

What to request from a supplier

Related standards

Compare with other chemistry-specific standards in the standards index, and check the manufacturer's claimed certificates against the underlying test report.

Common misapplication

Two failures account for most disputes: comparing results obtained at different test temperatures, and treating a supplier's summary as raw data. Ask for the clause tested and the conditioning; if either is missing, the result cannot be compared with another laboratory's.
