▍What is CTIA CERTIFICATION?

CTIA, the abbreviation of Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association, is a non-profit civic organization established in 1984 for the purpose of guaranteeing benefit of operators, manufacturers and users. CTIA consists of all U.S. operators and manufacturers from mobile radio services, as well as from wireless data services and products. Supported by FCC (Federal Communications Commission) and Congress, CTIA performs a large part of duties and functions that were used to be conducted by the government. In 1991, CTIA created an unbiased, independent and centralized product evaluation and certification system for wireless industry. Under the system, all wireless products in consumer grade shall take compliance tests and those complying with the relevant standards will be granted to utilize CTIA marking and hit store shelves of North American communication market.

CATL (CTIA Authorized Testing Laboratory) represents labs accredited by CTIA for testing and review. Testing reports issued from CATL would be all approved by CTIA. While other testing reports and results from non-CATL will not be recognized or have no access to CTIA. CATL accredited by CTIA varies in industries and certifications. Only CATL which is qualified for battery compliance test and inspection has access to battery certification for compliance to  IEEE1725.

▍CTIA Battery Testing Standards

a) Certification Requirement for Battery system Compliance to IEEE1725— Applicable to Battery Systems with single cell or multiple cells connected in parallel;

b) Certification Requirement for Battery system Compliance to IEEE1625— Applicable to Battery Systems with multiple cells connected in parallel or in both parallel and series;

Warm tips: Select above certification standards properly for batteries used in mobile phones and computers. Do not misuse IEE1725 for batteries in mobile phones or IEEE1625 for batteries in computers.

▍Why MCM？

● Hard Technology: Since 2014, MCM has been attending battery pack conference held by CTIA in US annually, and is able to obtain latest update and understand new policy trends about CTIA in a more prompt, accurate and active way. 

●Qualification: MCM is CATL accredited by CTIA and is qualified to perform all processes related to certification including testing, factory audit and report uploading.

In order to further meet the diversified certification needs of customers’ battery products and enhance the endorsement strength of the products, through the unremitting efforts of MCM, at the end of April, we have successively obtained China Classification Society (CCS) laboratory accreditation and China General Certification Center(CGC) contracted laboratory authorization. MCM focuses on providing customers with pre-product certification and testing services and broadens the scope of capabilities, and will provide customers with a wider range of services in the field of energy storage.China Classification Society CCS was established in 1956 and is headquartered in Beijing. It is a full member of the International Association of Classification Societies. It provides technical specifications and standards for ships, offshore installations
and related industrial products, and provides classification inspection services. It also complies with international conventions, rules and relevant laws and regulations of authorized flag states or regions to provide statutory inspection, authentication inspection, fair inspection, certification and accreditation services.
The scope of approval of MCM includes battery cells, modules, battery management systems (BMS) (GD22-2019) for
pure battery-powered ships, and lead-acid batteries for ship lighting, communication and starting (E-06(201909)), etc.
