Conformity assessment and CE marking

The procedure by which a manufacturer shows a battery meets the EU Battery Regulation — safety, performance, durability and labelling — before affixing the CE mark. For EV and industrial batteries a notified body is involved; the Regulation replaces the Low Voltage Directive route the old rules used.

Electromagnetic compatibility

The ability of electronics to work without disturbing other equipment or being disturbed by it. A BMS must keep its own emissions low and keep measuring cell voltages accurately next to an inverter switching hundreds of amperes; vehicles prove it under UN R10, with filtering, shielding and layout as the tools.

Inverter

The power electronics that turn the battery’s DC into AC for a motor or the grid, and back again for charging. In stationary storage it is called the power conversion system and its rating in kW or MW sets the system’s power independently of the battery’s energy.

Low Voltage Directive

The EU safety directive for electrical equipment rated 50–1000 V AC or 75–1500 V DC, covering protection against electric shock, overheating and fire. Chargers, wallboxes, inverters and grid-connected storage cabinets carry the CE mark partly on its basis, alongside the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive.

UN Regulation No. 10

The UNECE electromagnetic-compatibility regulation for vehicles and their electronic sub-assemblies. A BMS or charger must show it neither emits interference nor fails under it, including while the vehicle is charging from the grid.
