PI-72-04 EnerChip Standards Compliance
Device Engineering Council) Solid State Technology Association has release a series of test standards used
by Semiconductor Manufacturers to test the performance and reliability of their devices. Cymbet has tested
EnerChip solid state battery products against the following JEDEC standards and the results have been
published in “Cymbet EnerChip Qualification and Characterization Report, March 2012” :
• JEDEC JESD78B IC Latch-up Test
• ESD Human Body Model EIA/JESD22-A114E
• ESD Charge Device Model EIA/JESD22-C101D
• ESD Machine Mode JESD22-A115-A
• High Temp Operating Lifetime Test JESD22-A-108-C
• Temperature Cycling JESD22-104D
• High Temp Storage Life JESD22-A-103-C
• Moisture Resistance Test JESD22-A-113-F
• Temperature Humidity Bias JESD11-A-101--C
• Highly Accelerated Temperature/Humidity Stress Test JESD22-A-110-C
• Unbiased Highly Accelerated Temperature/Humidity Stress Test JESD22-A118
• Vibration Test JESD22-B103B
• Mechanical Shock JESD22-B104C
• Convection Oven Solder Reflow to 240C peak temperature in accordance with JEDEC-STD-020 profile
• Moisture/Reflow Sensitivity Test - tested to MSL Level 3 of JEDEC J-STD-020D.1
Section VIII - IEC-62133 and NEMA ANSI C18.2M
In June 2009 the CMC (Certification Management Committee of the CB Scheme) made a decision that Lithium
Ion batteries used in equipment and appliances should comply with the IEC-62133 Standards for Portable
Secondary Batteries (Rechargeable). The IEC-62133 is very similar in scope and test procedures to the UL1642
standard. First edition was released in 2002 update scheduled for 2012. Beginning in May 2012, the CMC
is encouraging testing to 62133 rather than UL1642. However, the first edition of IEC 62133 has some short
comings identified by test houses and manufacturers and it has not been widely used by the industry. It is
anticipated that the 2012 updated IEC-62133 will be more widely accepted and utilized.
The National Electrical Manufacturers Association ANSI C18.2M, Part 2-2007 is a Safety Standard for Portable
Rechargeable Cells and Batteries. This standard is pointed toward batteries that have significantly greater
size, capacity and chemical composition. This standard tests for battery designs that do not present a safety
hazard under conditions of normal (intended) use. When discharged on a performance test in accordance
with C18.2M Part 1, (which are very similar to UL1642) there shall be no evidence of leakage, venting, fire
or explosion. EnerChips do not have leakage, venting, fire or explosion mechanisms. Although these
standards do not apply directly to batteries in the range EnerChip storage capacities, EnerChip batteries
would comply to these standards if tested using these test criteria.
Section IX - UN Transportation Air Safety Regulations
UN Transportation Air Safety Regulations are detailed in 49 CFR Subchapter C Subsection 172.102 Special
Provision 188. This section provides the explanation of how the Cymbet EnerChip™ solid state batteries meet
the requirements following each section. Also included are excerpts from other Subparts in CFR 49 referenced
in Special Provision 188 that are applicable to lithium batteries.
All Cymbet Corporation batteries meet the requirements of 49 CFR Subchapter C Subsection 172.102
Special Provision 188. Therefore, they are not subject to any other requirements of Subchapter C
(Hazardous Materials Regulations) as long as they are packaged to prevent short circuits and packed in
strong packing for conditions normally encountered in transportation.
