the latest Standard of Electric vehicle batteries
Global product safety testing and certification leader UnderwritersLaboratoriesInc. (UL) announced that it will release its large-scale batteries for electric vehicle research program of the latest one – ULSubject2580.
As people of the growing interest in electric vehicles, UL framework introduced in this latest research will help to reduce the people to use the electric car and electric potential fire risk, and strengthen the overall security of electric vehicle batteries.

STP by the representatives of consumers, government agencies, regulators, and other manufacturers with expertise relevant bodies Zucheng, its purpose Zaiyugongtong formulated and effective for Chan Pin Anquanbiaozhun Gengxin.
As traditional energy prices and concerns about the environment, can be expected, the use of electric vehicles in the coming years there will be significant growth. Recognized around the globe several billions of dollars invested to create and promote this technology, including the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act clearly the nearly one billion U.S. dollars, and as key components of large-scale electric vehicle batteries in the U.S. market will accomplish much. International consulting firm Ove consultation is expected in the next decade, the number of new road in hybrid electric vehicles and battery electric vehicles will reach 1 million to 5 million, but at the same time, along with the high growth rate from the potential of fire, electric shock and other safety issues.
“Many factors will determine the market on the electric car usage, such as a large batteries for cost, performance, sustainability and safety requirements.” UL Quanqiu Energy general manager JeffSmidt President said, “UL, we always put safety the first place. have been developed through a series of safety standards and the latest standards for battery safety, we can help manufacturers to market electric car more secure. ”
ULSubject2580 is not mandatory, manufacturers are free to choose whether to meet all the requirements of this framework in order to reduce security risks. At present, no such large-scale test vehicle battery battery UL standards.
