BATSO Battery Audit

Electric bikes and scooters are increasingly popular. So, if you want your light electrical vehicles, LEVs for short, to do well on the market, it is imperative the batteries installed offer proper performance and are safe. We can audit and certify your products – whether they use rechargeable batteries or lithium ion batteries – based on new international norms for battery safety 'BATSO' (Battery Safety Organization).

With a product audit and certification from TÜV Rheinland you can:

• Gain an edge against the competition with a neutral audit seal
• Reduce risk of company liability with documented safety standards
• Benefit from fast audit times and our long-standing experience
• Show how high your high quality standards are
• Benefit from TÜV Rheinland's exclusive, one-stop service

Our experts carry out the following tests:

• Product type approval according to related standards
• Product certification: testing and issuing conformity and according to related regulations and safety standards and to BATSO standard
• Inspection when sending out or receiving raw materials (on request)
• EMC tests
• Chemical tests
• Functional safety

We help to ensure that your products meet the high requirements of the market and test in accordance with the respective applicable standards and directives, for example

If testing is successful, a certificate and the right to use a test mark can be awarded.

BATSO stands for BATtery Safety Organization. It is a new norm and improves information for consumers and safety when handling new battery technology for light electric vehicles (LEV for short). BATSO is a cooperative project from TÜV Rheinland, the non-profit organization ExtraEnergy, the ITRI institute in Taiwan, and Underwriters Laboratories from the USA.
