Cadmium and Arsenic Free: Safety Certifications for Wholesale Lead-Acid
B2B buyers increasingly require certifications confirming their batteries meet hazardous substance restrictions and safety standards. Understanding which certifications matter — and which to demand from suppliers — is essential for professional procurement.
Hazardous Substance Restrictions
| Standard | Region | Key Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| RoHS | EU | Lead exemption applies to lead-acid |
| REACH SVHC | EU | Lead listed — Article 33 communication required |
| TSCA | US | Lead regulated — reporting required |
| GB/T | China | National standards for battery safety |
Key Certifications B2B Buyers Should Demand
CE marking (EU): Confirms compliance with EU safety, health, and environmental requirements. Required for EU market access.
UL certification (US): Underwriters Laboratories testing for safety. UL 1989 is the standard for standby lead-acid batteries.
IEC 62660: Secondary lithium-ion and lead-acid battery testing standard for performance and reliability.
UN38.3: Required for all battery shipments by air and sea. Tests battery safety under transport conditions.
