- CATL laboratory kicks off initiative to achieve UL Solutions Witness Test Data Program status for UL 9540A, allowing the company to offer comprehensive battery energy storage system testing.
- The new collaboration sets the stage to help create safer, widespread deployment of key renewable, zero-emission energy sources.
NINGDE,
As the key part of the agreement, CATL's battery laboratory will kick off the process to achieve UL Solutions witness test data program (WTDP) status to test to UL 9540A, the Standard for Test Method for Evaluating Thermal Runaway Fire Propagation in Battery Energy Storage Systems. Once achieving WTDP designation by UL Solutions, CATL will be entitled to conduct WTDP tests at its test facilities under the supervision of UL Solutions personnel, thus improving the efficiency and shorten time to market for battery products certification and testing.
As the first company in
EnerOne, CATL's flagship outdoor liquid cooling battery system, and EnerC, CATL's containerized liquid-cooling battery system, have received the latest version of UL 9540A test report, making CATL the first company in
Both parties will also leverage their expertise to carry out in-depth cooperation in further exploring lithium-ion battery safety and offer insight towards developing BESS and EV battery standards. The two companies will also collaborate to explore carbon footprint reduction and other sustainability efforts.
"Battery storage technologies are essential to speeding up the transition from fossil fuels with renewable energy and will play an increasingly pivotal role to help combat climate change and carbon emissions," said
"By cooperating with UL Solutions, we look forward to improving the scientificity and integrality of energy storage system safety testing, thus further enhancing our comprehensive testing and validation capabilities for energy storage systems," said
