This month, UL amended UL 1973 by adding nickel-zinc battery requirements and revising some test values for nickel-cadmium batteries and battery systems. The reason is that Appendix H does not include all rechargeable nickel chemicals.
Appendix H, originally Alternative Methods for Evaluating Valve-controlled or Vented Lead-acid or Nickel-cadmium Batteries, is now Alternative Methods for Evaluating Valve-controlled or Vented Lead-acid or Nickel-zinc Batteries. The test conditions suitable for nickel-zinc battery are added to the test methods of overcharge, short-circuit, overdischarge, temperature and voltage resistance.According to The General Office of the State Council’s opinion on deepening the reform of electrical and electronic industry management system: lithium-ion batteries and battery packs used in electrical and electronic products, power banks, and power adapter/charger matched with telecommunication end products, will be included in the compulsory product certification. Below are some news about certification & testing standards involved:The GB/T 35590-2017 General Specification for Portable Power Supply for IT Portable Digital Equipment has been revised.
