Announcement Date: May 14, 2026
TOCAD ENERGY CO., LTD. (Headquarters: Mita, Minato-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Taro Fujikawa) is launching "Battery Test RS Partners," a contract service for reliability and safety evaluation testing for batteries and battery packs. By offering its evaluation and development know-how and facilities, cultivated over approximately 50 years since its founding in 1972, as a "contract evaluation business," the company will provide broad support to customers facing challenges in battery testing and standards acquisition.
■ Background of the Service Launch
The domestic lithium-ion battery market reached approximately 300 billion yen in 2024 and is projected to grow to 1.3 trillion yen by 2033 (average annual growth rate of about 18%). With the expanding applications of batteries in EVs, energy storage systems, medical devices, and industrial robots, the need to comply with safety standards (UN38.3, PSE, IEC62133, etc.) is rapidly increasing. Meanwhile, reservations for external testing facilities are chronically congested, making it a challenge for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and startups without their own evaluation resources to secure testing opportunities. In response to these needs, our company has decided to contribute to the overall development of the industry by providing our in-house facilities, personnel, and know-how to external parties.
■ Overview of the "Battery Test RS Partners" Service
Test Category | Main Content
--- | ---
Reliability Tests | Charge/discharge characteristics, temperature characteristics, cycle characteristics, storage performance, environmental resistance (low/high temperature, high humidity, etc.), vibration/shock resistance
Safety Tests | Overcharge, over-discharge, external short circuit, AC charging, thermal shock, heating, drop impact, nail penetration, crush
Standards & Certification Tests | Support for various standards tests such as UN38.3, PSE, IEC62133, JIS, ISO, UL
Ancillary Services | Proposal of optimal test conditions, battery selection and analysis support, battery pack development proposals
