Learn how to bring EV-related products/systems/applications (battery packs/cells, chargers, service disconnects, wire harnesses, etc) to market quickly and cost-effectively.

Intertek (LSE: ITRK), a global leader in testing, inspection and certification services, will hold a meeting at Automotive Testing Expo in Novi, MI on “Testing for EV’s (electric vehicles) & HEV’s (hybrid-electric vehicles).” Two sessions of the meeting will be conducted on Tuesday, October 27th on-site at the Rock Financial Showplace at 1:00 pm and 3:30 pm EDT.

With the rapid developments in EV/HEV technology, manufacturers have several considerations to address:

  • New technologies need adaptation for use in EVs/HEVs
  • New EV/HEV-related parts and products require new standards and must meet new requirements
  • New global supply chains are being created

Attendees will learn about services which will help bring EV/HEV-related products/systems/applications (battery packs/cells, chargers, service disconnects, wire harnesses, etc) to market quickly and cost-effectively, including:

  • Electrical product safety testing and certification to requirements in North America to ANSI/UL standards and the National Electrical Code (NEC); including ANSI/UL 1642 and 2054 and SAE J1772 (with the ETL Listed Mark)
  • Certification for EU, Asia and other global markets
  • Performance and durability testing of battery systems
  • EMC testing/FCC testing and certification
