Project Instruction

Introduction of India power battery standard IS 16893,
IS 16893,

▍Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS)

Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology released Electronics & Information Technology Goods-Requirement for Compulsory Registration Order I-Notified on 7th September, 2012, and it came into effect on 3rd October, 2013. Electronics &Information Technology Goods Requirement for Compulsory Registration, what is usually called BIS certification, is actually called CRS registration/certification. All electronic products in the compulsory registration product catalog imported to India or sold in the Indian market must be registered in the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). In November 2014, 15 kinds of compulsory registered products were added. New categories include: mobile phones, batteries, power banks, power supplies, LED lights and sales terminals, etc.

▍BIS Battery Test Standard

Nickel system cell/battery: IS 16046 (Part 1): 2018/ IEC62133-1: 2017

Lithium system cell/battery: IS 16046 (Part 2): 2018/ IEC62133-2: 2017

Coin cell/battery is included in CRS.

▍Why MCM?

● We have been focused on Indian certification for more than 5 years and helped client obtain the world’s first battery BIS letter. And we have practical experiences and solid resource accumulation in BIS certification field.

● Former senior officers of Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) are employed as certification consultant, to ensure case efficiency and remove the risk of registration number cancellation.

● Equipped with strong comprehensive problem solving skills in certification, we integrate indigenous resources in India. MCM keeps good communication with BIS authorities to provide clients with the most cutting-edge, most professional and most authoritative certification information and service.

● We serve leading companies in various industries and earn a good reputation in the field, which make us deeply trusted and supported by clients.

Recently Automotive Industry Standards Committee (AISC) released standard AIS-156 and AIS-038 (Rev.02) Amendment 3. The test objects of AIS-156 and AIS-038 are REESS (Rechargeable Energy Storage System) for automobiles, and the new edition adds that the cells used in REESS should pass tests of IS 16893 Part 2 and Part 3, and at least 1 charge-discharge cycle data should be provided. The following is a brief introduction to the test requirements of IS 16893 Part 2 and Part 3.
IS 16893 is apply to the secondary lithium-ion cell used in electrically propelled road vehicles propulsion. Part 2 is about the test of reliability and abuse. It is consistent with IEC 62660-2: 2010 “Secondary lithium-ion cells used in electrically propelled road vehicles propulsion – Part 2: test of reliability and abuse” published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The test items are: capacity check, vibration, mechanical shock, crush, high-temperature endurance, temperature cycling, external short-circuit, overcharging and forced discharging. Among them are the following key test items:
Overcharging: application of voltage to twice the maximum voltage specified by the manufacturer or a power level of 200% SOC is needed. BEV needs to be charged with 1C and HEV needs to be charged with 5C.
