What does "Make Available" mean?
This information does not need to be attached to the batteries or even shipped, but it can only be made available to anyone who requests it.
It is acceptable for the supplier to require the applicant to obtain the document electronically from the supplier's website. The supplier must ensure that the cell/battery/product has appropriate identifiers to align with the test summary. 1
What are the challenges of compliance?
As lithium battery regulations become more complex, the supply chain will need more information about the batteries and cells they handle to maintain compliance.
These challenges include:
The requirement for when cells or batteries from other manufacturers are to be used.
Implement a suitable system to meet the new requirement.
Difficulty validating or obtaining a test summary from some cell or battery manufacturers.
How can I minimize the regulatory burden?
As lithium battery regulations become more complex, the batteries they carry require more information to maintain compliance. CHEMTREC has developed a lithium battery test summary document management system, CRITERIA™ , to assist with regulatory compliance.
CRITÉIR serves as a central source for test summary documents and provides a full range of useful tools for customers. These resources include:
CHEMTREC will provide a secure login to your company’s dedicated library that will allow you to create, upload, or download test summary documents relevant to your company.
Customers can ask CHEMTREC to source summary documents for tests that are not entered into the system.
