Batteries for medical electrical equipment must comply with essential safety, performance, and transportation requirements. ºÃÉ«TV’s battery safety testing services help to ensure the integrity of your products in both home and professional healthcare settings as well as their compliance with international regulations.

Batteries are subjected to electrical, mechanical, environmental, fire exposure, and performance testing. These battery safety testing services guarantee batteries are designed and constructed so they will not explode or catch fire during their intended use or reasonably foreseeable misuse.

 

Our battery safety testing services for medical devices

As a ISO 17025 accredited testing laboratory, ºÃÉ«TV offers battery testing to determine the safety, reliability, and performance of lithium-ion and nickel-metal hydride batteries used in medical electrical equipment.

We work with manufacturers of medical devices that incorporate rechargeable lithium batteries to identify compliant batteries for both hospital and home use and provide medical device battery testing and reporting through the IECEE safety scheme.
