Battery abuse and homologation testing

Abuse testing - Assess battery safety under controlled mechanical, electrical and thermal abuse conditions designed to investigate potential failure modes and thermal events
Homologation testing - Support battery manufacturers and OEMs with testing against relevant regulatory and industry requirements for cells, modules and complete battery systems
Cell, module and pack testing - Test individual cells, battery modules and high-voltage packs across a range of electrical, thermal and physical conditions
Destructive and non-destructive testing - Choose testing approaches suited to the development stage and objectives, from controlled evaluation through to destructive testing of battery systems
Thermal runaway testing - Investigate thermal runaway behaviour and propagation to understand how a battery responds to a thermal event and how protection measures perform
Post-test analysis - Analyse batteries following testing to understand failure mechanisms, damage and thermal behaviour, helping inform future design and protection strategies.

Electric vehicle batteries
- Test cells, modules and high-voltage battery packs to support EV development, safety validation and homologation
Hybrid vehicles
- Assess battery systems used in hybrid vehicles against demanding safety and performance requirements
Energy storage systems
- Evaluate battery safety and failure behaviour for energy storage applications where thermal events and propagation present significant risks
Battery development
- Generate test data throughout the development process, from individual cells and early-stage designs through to complete battery systems
Safety validation
- Investigate how battery systems respond to abuse conditions and validate protection measures designed to limit thermal events and propagation.

Abuse and homologation

Test battery safety under demanding conditions

AIS provides abuse and homologation testing for battery cells, modules and high-voltage battery packs, helping manufacturers understand battery behaviour under extreme conditions and demonstrate compliance with relevant safety standards. Testing is carried out at Europe’s largest battery testing and material development centre, with capabilities covering destructive and non-destructive testing.

Benefits

Validate battery safety and compliance

Use controlled testing to understand how batteries respond to demanding conditions, identify potential failure modes and generate the evidence needed to support safety and regulatory requirements.

Test beyond normal operating conditions

Assess battery response to challenging and potentially destructive scenarios to understand how cells, modules and packs behave when subjected to abuse conditions.

Support regulatory compliance

Generate test data to support homologation and certification requirements for electric vehicle and battery applications, including relevant UN, ECE, SAE, UL, GB/T, IEC and ISO standards.

Combine testing with material development

Access battery testing and protective material development at the same UK facility, allowing test results to inform the development and validation of solutions designed to improve battery safety.
