Why Certification Matters in the Battery Export Industry

If you're planning to export energy storage batteries, certifications aren't just paperwork – they're your golden ticket to international markets. Over 78% of customs rejections in 2023 were linked to incomplete or non-compliant certifications, according to the Global Trade Compliance Report. Let's break down what you need to know.

Top 3 Markets Driving Battery Certification Demand

• EU Countries: CE marking + IEC 62619 compliance
• North America: UL 1973 certification + local fire codes
• Asia-Pacific: Japan's PSE mark + China's GB standards

"Getting certifications right the first time can reduce time-to-market by 40%," says Michael Chen, EK SOLAR's lead compliance specialist.

Step-by-Step Certification Process

Here's how we helped a lithium-ion battery manufacturer enter the German market in 2023:

Stage	Duration	Cost Range
Document Preparation	2-4 weeks	$1,500-$3,000
Product Testing	6-8 weeks	$8,000-$15,000
Certification Issuance	1-2 weeks	$2,000-$5,000

Real-World Certification Challenges

Many manufacturers stumble on these hurdles:

• Material traceability documentation
• Thermal runaway test failures
• Labeling translation errors
