Mechanical Shock Test / Crash Test

Battery Systems Safety: Our Service for a Safe Market Launch

Vehicle and battery manufacturers need valid independent test results proving the safety of their products in order to successfully bring them to market. The operational safety of energy storage systems, especially in the event of an accident, must be guaranteed and proven to the outside world. Our mechanical shock test offers the optimum solution.

Focus on Safety: Mechanical Shock Test for the Electromobility of Tomorrow

Tomorrow's electromobility depends on battery safety. Because inadequate safety standards can jeopardize vehicle type approval and significantly affect consumer confidence, car and battery manufacturers are challenged to develop powerful and, above all, safe energy storage systems. Supplemented by the opening of a battery laboratory at the DEKRA Technology Center Klettwitz site in 2025, our one-stop-shop solution provides mechanical shock tests relevant to battery system performance and safety.

Our Services at a Glance:

  • Development support and quality assurance
    We provide the expertise you need for effective development, official homologation and reliable quality assurance.
  • Dimensions of testable batteries
    We test battery modules and packs with dimensions of up to 2.3 m x 1.6 m and a weight of 1,000 kg.
  • Crash system
    Specially optimized for testing batteries, our existing system boasts its own workshop for manufacturing suitable battery holders on the crash system.
  • Carrying out crash tests
    We conduct tests on charged high-voltage storage systems/battery packs and engines.
  • Conditioning and state of charge
    Prior to testing, the battery system is conditioned (temperature/humidity) and the required state of charge (SOC) is set.
  • CAN datalogging
    Our real-time monitoring of your energy storage and battery management system using CAN datalogging ensures comprehensive transparency before, during and after the test.
  • Storage options
    We offer storage facilities for new and tested batteries, even if they are in a critical condition.
Our service is based on UN-R 100 Rev. 02/03 (Regulation for electric power trained vehicles), which regulates the approval of vehicles with regard to the special requirements for electric drives. In particular, Annex 9C of Part 2 of the regulation deals with the subject of "mechanical shock".
Incidentally, our state-of-the-art battery laboratory will be designed to enable sustainable testing of batteries for type approval and global market access.
