CTIA Battery Certification Program
CTIA Authorised Testing Laboratory (CATL)
The Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA), working in partnership with leading cellular network operators, have devised a scheme that helps battery cell / pack and handset manufacturers raise safety and quality levels.
CTIA Battery Certification is becoming increasingly necessary to satisfy US network operators that your cellular product system is safe. Without certification you may find that the network operators refuse to accept your products.
TÜV SÜD are appointed by the CTIA as a CTIA Authorised Testing Laboratory (CATL), and we can therefore obtain CTIA Battery Certification on your behalf via our two dedicated laboratories based in Asia and Europe.
We have an established and proven track record in the certification and testing of cellular products. Our specialist team of auditors and consultants are leading experts in the battery industry and specialise in Li-Ion and Li-Ion Polymer technologies. In addition to providing certification services, we also carry out all testing and auditing that is necessary to satisfy CTIA Battery Certification requirements.
The aim of the CTIA programme is to verify compliance of cellular products in accordance with the standard IEEE 1725 ‘Standard for Rechargeable Batteries for Cellular Telephones’ and associated CTIA documents. This relates to the complete cellular product system (cell, battery pack, external back-up battery pack, cellular product (host), power adapter and / or charging cradle).
Standard IEEE 1725
IEEE 1725 encompasses system integration, battery cell design process, manufacturing considerations, assembly precautions, leakage protection, component & thermal considerations, overcharge, over-current, mechanical considerations, connector & terminals, quality control, security & validation, as well as external influences such as the intended host and ancillary devices including AC & DC adapters.
