Palladium Energy The Most Reliable Battery Power

Lithium-based Battery Pack Accreditations, Regulatory Standards & Industry Links

Accreditation Agencies

Palladium maintains strict adherence to quality controls and certifications to ensure the quality of all our battery pack solutions through our independent testing facility - IQ Laboratories (IQL). IQL is a CTIA Authorized Testing Laboratory for testing to CTIA Certification Requirements for Battery System Compliance to IEEE 1625 standards. These standards help to ensure that rechargeable battery-operated systems and other, portable computing device systems are designed for safe operation and reliable performance. Below is a listing of accreditation agencies that establish standards and certifications for lithium-based battery packs.

CE: CE Marking

The European Commission refers to the CE Marking of products as a "passport" which can allow a manufacturer to freely circulate their products within the European marketplace. The marking applies only to products regulated by the European Commissions health, safety and environmental protection legislation (product directives) but this is estimated to include more than 50% of the goods currently exported from the U.S. to Europe. All other consumer products are subject to the requirements of the General Product Safety Directive 92/59/EC, which does not require the CE-mark.
