SAFE Labs is a trusted provider of comprehensive testing services, offering a diverse range of evaluations to provide the safety, reliability, and compliance of various products and systems. Our testing services encompass cutting-edge methodologies and adhere to industry standards. The testing types offered by SAFE Labs include:
SAFE Labs conducts all levels of UL 9540A testing, a method for evaluating fire propagation in battery energy storage systems (ESS). It is a critical component for building SAFEr, code-compliant installations. SAFE Labs empowers manufacturers, integrators, AHJs, and utilities with data-driven insights to improve product SAFEty and pave the way for wider adoption of this transformative technology.
Leveraging the standardized UL 2596 "Torch and Grit" test method, SAFE Labs meticulously evaluates potential battery enclosure materials. This rigorous process simulates the intense heat and abrasion of a thermal runaway event and represents a critical step towards SAFEr, more dependable EVs.
Our expertise extends to the rigorous demands of the ECE R1090 Annex 9E test, a standardized procedure for evaluating the fire propagation characteristics of electric vehicle (EV) batteries. From controlled cell-level heating to staged full-pack fire tests, SAFE Labs gathers precise data on heat release rate, smoke generation, and other critical metrics. This data empowers engineers to optimize battery design and implement effective fire protection measures, ultimately contributing to SAFEr, more reliable EVs.
SAFE Labs' testing services are designed to strive for compliance with relevant industry standards and regulations, providing clients with the confidence that their products or systems meet safety and performance requirements.
