Accredited Laboratory
“Optival, with its accredited battery test laboratory established in Turkey, performs battery tests in accordance with many standards directly within its own structure.”
With the proliferation of electric vehicles and portable energy systems, many technical regulations on battery safety have been published. The number and scope of these technical regulations are rapidly expanding and new technical and testing requirements are becoming mandatory.
Optival, with its accredited battery test laboratory established in Turkey, performs battery tests in accordance with many standards directly within its own structure. Our test infrastructure is structured to cover electrical performance, safety and environmental compliance tests at cell, module and pack level.
In addition, thanks to the strong cooperation network we have established with our accredited solution partners in Turkey, Europe and China, we offer our customers a seamless and holistic test-certification process. All these processes are managed centrally with Optival expertise.
With the technical service authorization we have, we are able to carry out type approval processes within the scope of UN ECE R100 and UN ECE R136 under a single roof.
