Every industry has regulatory and scientific leaders who set standards and benchmarks for products to promote safety, sustainability, quality, reduce risk, and achieve regulatory compliance. They reassure consumers that the products they purchase are not only safe, but have been rigorously tested, developed, and researched.
To ensure our customers are receiving a product that not only reaches its full potential, but is also of high quality and safe, BSLBATT® invests in research and development. In order to develop our products, we rely on independent review by industry leaders such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
Although most people are aware of regulatory organization marks such as UL or CE, not everyone knows that there are different standards for products depending on their intended use, industry, etc. As an example, let's look at the BSLBATT® forklift lithium-ion battery.
Battery performance, longevity, quality, and safety are rigorously tested in BSLBATT® forklift lithium-ion batteries. UL 2580 certification alone doesn't tell the whole story.
There are BSLBATT® customers everywhere. Our batteries must perform well wherever they are used. To protect workers and equipment, they must also be safe and secure.
The BSLBATT® first-generation forklift lithium-ion batteries were developed in 2012 to meet Underwriter Laboratories' UL 2580 listing standards to ensure not only optimal performance, but also safety and quality.
This list was not easy to obtain. For electric vehicles, the UL 2580 standard covers electrical energy storage components, such as battery packs and combined battery pack-electrochemical capacitor assemblies and the subassemblies/modules that make up these components. This standard evaluates whether electrical energy storage components can safely withstand simulated abuse conditions and prevent personnel from being exposed to any hazards. At specified temperatures, this standard evaluates electrical energy storage components and modules based on charging and discharging parameters specified by the manufacturer.

BSLBATT® forklift lithium-ion batteries safely complete tasks under true “abnormal conditions,” no matter when and where they are needed.
BSLBATT® forklift lithium-ion batteries provide our customers with the confidence that their material handling equipment is safe to use. Due to their unique power requirements, we applied for and obtained the IEC 62619:2022 standard for batteries used in industry. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 62619 specifies the requirements and tests for the safe production of secondary lithium batteries and industrial batteries. Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), energy storage systems, and forklifts, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), rail, and marine vehicles are all included in the standard battery range.
In order to be accepted by the market, forklift lithium batteries must be safe and reliable, and meet various legal and technical requirements. Increasingly popular are lithium batteries for forklifts due to their energy density and cycle strength, which have special safety requirements.
● Your products must meet the highest safety standards for forklift lithium batteries.
● With expert partners who assist you throughout the testing and certification process, you can reduce lead times, streamline processes, and get to market faster.
● Minimize risk and avoid costly redesigns by identifying design issues early and complying with international regulations.
● Ensure that your forklift lithium battery complies with international standards and regulations such as the EMC Directive (2014/30/EU), IEC 62619, UL 2580, IEC61000, etc., so that your forklift lithium battery can enter multiple markets.
Battery Management Systems (BMS) are certified to the automotive functional safety standard ISO 26262:2011 and the Automotive Safety Integrity Level C (ASIL C), which is the industry-leading agency awarded by the International Organization for Standardization to ensure the safety of BSLBATT® forklift lithium-ion batteries. When electrical components fail, this certification detects possible hazards.
BSLBATT® forklift lithium-ion batteries provide the highest level of safety, despite wear and tear.
There is a big difference between testing and compliance, according to thought leaders across the supply chain. Compliance and testing go hand in hand, but different forms of due diligence carry different burdens.
We at BSLBATT® are proud to say that our batteries, smart chargers, and data management solutions are used throughout the world. Our partners in Europe and beyond expect us to comply with all regulatory requirements.
To ensure that our batteries are safe to use and sell throughout Europe, we have met all industry standards. We are proud to carry the CE mark on our BSLBATT® forklift lithium-ion batteries.
Lithium-ion batteries must undergo extensive in-house testing and produce detailed technical documentation outlining how they comply with regulations to earn this mark. Along with test reports and top-down explanations of the manufacturing process, circuit diagrams and risk analyses are included.
Ultimately, the CE mark identifies a product as "safe for sale and use" throughout Europe.
As an international supplier of lithium battery solutions for forklifts, BSLBATT® welcomes the most rigorous and comprehensive testing available. When our batteries are able to withstand abuse, they can be trusted to work safely in a variety of environments, even harsh ones.
It is these standards, tests, and regulations that enable us to deliver better products that power today's industrial trucks, forklifts, and supply chains.
