CEC Accredited – Clean Energy Council Certified (Australia)
What it is:
The Clean Energy Council (CEC) maintains the official list of approved solar battery storage systems that meet Australian safety and performance standards.
Why it matters:
Only CEC-certified solar batteries are legally approved for installation in Australian homes. This ensures safe operation, eligibility for incentives, and peace of mind — knowing your system complies with AS/NZS 5139:2019 and meets Clean Energy Council requirements.
UN38.3 – Lithium Battery Transport Safety
What it is:
UN38.3 is a global safety certification required for lithium-ion batteries used in solar storage systems. It ensures batteries are safe for transport by air, sea, or road through rigorous testing including pressure, impact, vibration, and thermal stress.
Why it matters:
UN38.3 certification confirms that your solar battery is safe to ship and handle, reducing the risk of fire or explosion during delivery or installation. It's essential for reliable lithium battery logistics in Australia and worldwide.
CE-EMC – Electromagnetic Compatibility
What it is:
The CE-EMC mark ensures that your solar battery storage system complies with European standards for electromagnetic compatibility. It guarantees that your battery won't interfere with, or be affected by, other electronic devices.
Why it matters:
Electromagnetic stability is critical in homes with inverters, solar systems, and smart appliances. CE-EMC certification ensures your home solar battery system operates safely and smoothly without causing faults.
IEC 62619 – Lithium Battery Safety Standard
What it is:
IEC 62619 is a global benchmark for the safe performance of rechargeable lithium batteries, specifically designed for solar energy storage systems and other stationary applications.
Why it matters:
This certification ensures your solar lithium battery is safe for use in homes, off-grid properties, and commercial energy systems. It tests for overcharge, short circuit, thermal abuse, and more.
IEC 62040 – UPS & Power Safety Compliance
What it is:
IEC 62040 outlines performance and safety standards for Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) and integrated solar battery backup systems.
Why it matters:
It ensures that your solar battery is reliable during power outages and performs effectively when used for home backup energy. Essential for off-grid energy systems and homes seeking solar battery resilience.
IEC 60730 – Safety of Automatic Electrical Controls
What it is:
IEC 60730 applies to automatic electrical controls, like the Battery Management Systems (BMS) found inside lithium solar batteries. It ensures intelligent functions like charge control and fault detection operate safely.
Why it matters:
A smart battery is only as safe as its internal software. This certification means your system has safe, automated protection built-in, from overheating prevention to controlled power cycling.
UKCA – UK Conformity Assessed
What it is:
UKCA is the United Kingdom’s equivalent of CE certification, required for selling solar batteries and energy products in the UK post-Brexit.
Why it matters:
UKCA ensures your battery is compliant with UK safety, quality, and electromagnetic standards. It’s useful for international buyers, distributors, and systems shipped globally from Australia.
