ISO 12405 Testing
Electric vehicle battery

The 6NAPSE Group carries out ISO 12405 testing to guarantee the performance of lithium batteries for electric vehicles.

ISO 12405 certification is aimed at the approval of electrically powered road vehicles (EV). The document specifies test procedures for lithium ion traction battery packs and systems.​

ISO 12405, performance testing of electric vehicle batteries

The 6NAPSE Group carries out performance tests according to ISO 12405. These are electrical performance tests, reliability tests and abuse tests.

• Part 1: High power applications: hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) and certain types of fuel cell vehicles (FCV).
• Part 2: High energy applications: battery electric vehicles (EV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and certain types of fuel cell vehicles (FCV).
• Part 3: Test specification for lithium-ion traction battery packs and systems (safety performance requirements)

In addition, the 6NAPSE Group also carries out European ECE R100 certification tests and battery transport tests according to UN38.3.

Our electric battery tests

The 6NAPSE Group carries out the validation of electric batteries according to your needs:

• Vibration testing: assessment of the ability of electrical energy storage to withstand vibrations that would occur in the living environment or during transport
• Mechanical testing: determination of the resistance to mechanical shocks that may occur in the use of the equipment
• Altitude testing: simulation of pressure variations in air transport
• Impact testing: impact resistance of a material, component, part or packaging during transport
• Drop test: evaluation of the resistance to falls that may occur during installation in the switchgear
• Salt spray corrosion testing: characterization of the resistance of electrical energy storage under salt spray conditions (cycled BS possible)
• Thermal shock testing: identification of the assembly’s ability to withstand rapid temperature variations
• IP sealing tests: verification of sealing according to the protection index (IPXX)
• Chemical resistance testing
• Chemical analysis and elemental determination of lithium
• Tailor-made tests according to your protocol
