As the electric vehicle (EV) sector rapidly advances, the intricate demands of functional safety for battery systems are becoming increasingly critical. A forthcoming webinar, set to be a key session at the March Virtual Conference on EV Engineering, aims to navigate these complexities, offering clarity and practical guidance to engineers and industry professionals.
Addressing Evolving Safety Standards in eMobility
Functional safety principles are foundational to industrial and electrical system control and safety systems. However, their application within battery standards and certifications for the eMobility sector has seen a significant escalation in stringency. This evolution is reducing the historical reliance on single-fault testing methodologies.
While intended to enhance safety, these more rigorous requirements have also introduced new layers of confusion and complexity, particularly when attempting to align them with existing testing and safety certification standards, often referred to as “legacy” systems.
Intertek to Lead Discussion on Battery Safety Testing
The webinar, presented by Intertek, a leading global quality assurance, inspection, and certification company, will serve as a crucial platform for understanding these challenges. The session is designed to provide attendees with a clear comparative analysis of several prevalent battery and product standards pertinent to the eMobility market.
A core focus will be on highlighting effective methods for adopting a functional safety test plan that is precisely tailored to specific application needs. This will involve addressing common battery-specific safety functions, essential tests, and crucial Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) evaluations that are vital for ensuring the reliable and safe operation of EV battery systems.
