Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used in various applications, such as portable electronics, electric vehicles, and stationary energy storage systems. They offer many advantages over other types of batteries, such as high energy density, long cycle life, and low self-discharge. However, they also pose some safety risks due to their potential to overheat, catch fire, or explode under certain conditions. Therefore, lithium-ion battery safety testing is essential to ensure the performance and reliability of these batteries.

Lithium-ion battery safety testing involves a series of procedures and tests conducted to evaluate the safety of lithium-ion batteries under normal and abnormal conditions. The tests may be performed on individual cells, modules, or complete battery packs. The tests simulate various scenarios that may cause battery failure or damage, such as overcharging, overdischarging, short circuiting, mechanical abuse (e.g., impact or penetration), thermal abuse (e.g., heating or cooling), environmental exposure (e.g., humidity or altitude), and transportation.

The purpose of lithium-ion battery safety testing is to identify and prevent any potential hazards that may occur during the use of lithium-ion batteries. The tests also help to verify compliance with various safety standards and certifications that have been developed for lithium-ion batteries. These standards and certifications provide guidelines and requirements for the design, testing, and use of lithium-ion batteries.

Some of the most widely recognized safety standards and certifications for lithium-ion batteries include:

- UN/DOT 38.3: This standard is for the transportation of lithium-ion batteries. It specifies the testing requirements for the safe transportation of lithium-ion batteries by air or ground.

- IEC 62133: This standard sets the safety requirements for secondary (rechargeable) lithium-ion batteries for use in portable applications.

- UL 1642 and UL 2054: These standards are for the safety of lithium-ion batteries. UL 1642 specifies the requirements for the safety of lithium-ion cells, while UL 2054 covers the safety of lithium-ion battery packs.
