Electric vehicles (EVs) integrate two distinct sectors: the automotive industry, governed by ISO standards, and the electrical industry, guided by IEC standards. Testing for electric vehicles extends beyond just homologation for the vehicles and their components; it also encompasses the evaluation of charging interfaces and the systems that facilitate communication between EVs, charging stations, and back-office systems.
Safeguard users, equipment, and infrastructure by confirming electrical safety standards.
Validate that your products meet industry standards and regulations.
Assess the conformance, interoperability, and electromagnetic compatibility of your electric vehicle products.
Enable the marketing of your products across multiple international markets.
Electric vehicles (EVs) date back to the late 19th century, but they initially lost ground to internal combustion engines. Today, however, the trend towards e-mobility is gaining significant momentum. What’s driving this shift now? Three key factors are accelerating the transition to EVs:
Stricter Environmental Regulations: New restrictions on CO2 emissions for both vehicle manufacturers and owners are pushing the industry towards cleaner alternatives.
Technological Advancements: Innovations such as more affordable and efficient batteries, along with improved infrastructure for faster charging, are enhancing the viability of EVs.
Evolving Consumer Preferences: Increasing environmental awareness and growing acceptance of electric vehicles are influencing buyer choices.
As a result of this shift, car manufacturers are compelled to innovate, developing new hybrid and fully electric vehicle models. In the coming years, Europe alone is expected to see the launch of over 300 new full-EV models.
Testing electric vehicles (EVs) encompasses much more than just homologation testing for the vehicles and their components. It also includes evaluating the charging interfaces and the systems that facilitate communication between EVs, charging stations, and back-office systems, a process known as interoperability or conformance testing.
Battery packs, composed of numerous individual cells, are a vital energy source that can pose potential hazards, making thorough testing essential. Moreover, conformance testing for all electrical components—such as plugs, cables, connectors, wiring, and switches—is a critical aspect of the overall electric vehicle testing process.

To enhance the range of electric vehicles, battery packs are increasing in size and weight, while new battery technologies are promising higher energy density. These developments, however, also present greater potential safety hazards. At Absolute Veritas, we provide a comprehensive array of testing and certification solutions for battery cells and modules, along with homologation testing for manufacturers at both the full-vehicle and component levels.
