Editor:ESTL Category:Technical information Release time:2025-08-30 Click volume:6

In the field of safety certification for lithium batteries and electronic devices, UL1642UL2054, and UL/CAS 62368-1 are three crucial standards. They impose strict safety requirements on lithium batteries, battery packs, and audio/video, information, and communication technology (AV/ICT) devices respectively. Today, we will delve into the core content and application scenarios of these standards.

UL1642: Safety Standard for Lithium Batteries

UL1642 is a safety standard specifically developed for lithium batteries, covering design, manufacturing, and testing requirements for lithium batteries. It primarily focuses on the safety of lithium batteries under extreme conditions such as overcharging, short circuits, crushing, and high temperatures, ensuring that batteries do not pose hazards like fire or explosion during use.

 

  • Application Scenarios: Lithium batteries used in small portable devices, such as mobile phones, laptops, and power tools.
  • Testing Requirements: Include short-circuit testing, crush testing, overcharge testing, etc., to ensure the stability of lithium batteries under various extreme conditions.

UL2054: Safety Standard for Battery Packs

UL2054 specifies safety requirements for battery packs (composed of multiple battery cells). It not only focuses on the safety of individual cells but also emphasizes the safety of the battery pack in terms of overall design, connection methods, and protection circuits.

 

  • Application Scenarios: Consumer electronic products (e.g., battery packs for tablets, portable speakers, and small household appliances).
  • Testing Requirements: Include overcharge protection testing, temperature cycling testing, vibration testing, etc., to ensure the reliability of battery packs in complex environments.

UL/CAS 62368-1: Safety Standard for AV/ICT Devices

UL/CAS 62368-1 is a safety standard for audio/video, information, and communication technology devices. It has replaced the previous UL60950-1 and UL60065 standards, adopting an energy classification method based on hazard sources and placing greater emphasis on the overall safety of devices.

 

  • Application Scenarios: Electronic devices such as televisions, computers, routers, and chargers.
  • Testing Requirements: Cover electrical safety, mechanical safety, and fire safety, ensuring that devices do not cause harm to users or the environment during use.
