Lithium ion batteries are indispensable for modern, mobile applications, offering high energy density, compact design and a multitude of technical advantages. However, the complexity of safety and approval procedures poses significant challenges for companies developing battery-powered devices. This is precisely where Jauch comes in, with its new test and certification center at the company headquarters in Villingen-Schwenningen.
From development to market readiness: Jauch as a partner throughout the entire development cycle
A key advantage for manufacturers of battery-powered products is Jauch’s ability to support companies through all phases of product development. As an experienced partner, Jauch not only offers customized solutions for cell chemistry and protective circuits but also develops the right battery management system (BMS) for every application. From the first prototype to series production, Jauch ensures compliance with all standards and safety regulations, making a significant contribution to rapid market launch.
Mastering complex certification processes efficiently
International regulations, particularly the UN38.3 transport test and the IEC 62133 safety standard, are essential hurdles for the global distribution of lithium batteries. With the new test and certification center for cells and batteries, Jauch can carry out these tests directly at the Villingen-Schwenningen site. This means considerable time and cost savings for customers, as there is no need for external laboratories. Jauch also plans and performs the necessary tests, from vibration and shock tests to charging and discharging cycles. Customized tests are also available.
Safely through the jungle of standards
The approval of lithium batteries requires compliance with strict regulations for transportation and use. International standardization bodies and legislators such as the UN and EU, have developed extensive safety standards that must be adhered to by manufacturers. Jauch offers comprehensive support in this area: Jauch engineers have the necessary expertise to ensure that battery products comply with all relevant regulations, including CE, UL, PSE, KC and CCC. Special tests for medical technology in accordance with the Medical Device Regulation and for potentially explosive environments in accordance with the ATEX directives are also part of the new center’s portfolio.
Planning security and fast market launch
With knowledge of the requirements and the ability to assess the urgency of certain projects, Jauch can significantly accelerate market access. “Our customers benefit from greater planning security and a considerable reduction in complexity,” explains Sönke Zacher, lawyer and head of project management at Jauch.
With the new test and certification center, Jauch is reinforcing its position as a reliable development partner for battery-powered products. From the selection of cells to the design of battery packs and final certification – Jauch offers everything from a single source, enabling efficient and safe product development.
