Essen/Saarbrücken: TÜV NORD führt ab sofort
gemeinsam mit CETECOM die technische Prüfung
und Zertifizierung von Antriebsbatterien durch. Nach
dem Aufbau des ersten funktionierenden Systems
zum Test von Lithium-Ionen-Batterien zu Beginn
dieses Jahres hat TÜV NORD nun als erster
Dienstleister ein Zertifizierungsprogramm für die
Sicherheit von Antriebsbatterien erarbeitet. Im
Prüflabor des Kooperationspartners CETECOM
werden alle für die Zertifizierung notwendigen Tests
durchgeführt und ausgewertet.

Für hybride oder rein elektrisch betriebene Fahrzeuge
sind Lithium-Ionen-Batterien als Antrieb erste Wahl, da
sie zu den aktuell verfügbaren Sekundärzellen mit der
höchsten Energiemassendichte gehören. Im Falle einer
Fehlfunktion birgt diese hohe Energiedichte jedoch auch
Gefahren. Die nachgewiesene Sicherheit von Lithium-
Ionen-Zellen ist für ihren Einsatz in Elektrofahrzeugen
daher von zentraler Bedeutung. Letztlich wird sie
mitentscheidend für die gesellschaftliche Akzeptanz
dieser neuen Mobilitätsform sein.

„Unser oberstes Ziel ist es, den Weg in die
Elektromobilität sicher zu gestalten. Dies gilt für alle
Bereiche, aber natürlich insbesondere für das Herz des
Elektroantriebs, die Batterie. Die Batteriesicherheit muss
gewährleistet sein. Darüber hinaus bringen wir unser
Know-how ein, um die Lithium-Ionen-Batterien
weiterzuentwickeln und ihre Energiedichte noch deutlich
zu steigern. Unsere Arbeitsgemeinschaft mit CETECOM
bietet hierfür die beste Grundlage“, erklärt Axel Richter,
bei TÜV NORD zuständig für die Elektro-Fahrzeuge.

Die von TÜV NORD und CETECOM entwickelten
Prüfeinrichtungen sowie die Prüfverfahren für die
Antriebsbatterien entsprechen einheitlichen Standards,
so dass die Ergebnisse weltweit reproduzierbar sind. Mit
der Zertifizierung durch TÜV NORD erbringen die
Hersteller somit den Nachweis einer unabhängigen
Überprüfung nach dem neuesten Stand der Technik.
„Unsere hochmoderne Labor- und Testumgebung wird
stetig weiterentwickelt. Wir decken bei unseren
Prüfungen die gesamte Bandbreite ab. Dazu zählen die
funktionale und elektrische Sicherheit ebenso wie die
Elektromagnetische Verträglichkeit und die Robustheit
gegenüber Umwelteinflüssen. Somit werden wir den
Anforderungen der Industrie gerecht und fördern
gleichzeitig einen weltweit hohen Standard in Bezug auf
Batteriesicherheit“, erläutert CETECOM-Geschäftsführer
Gerhard Schirra. Durch die qualifizierte Partnerschaft
bilden TÜV NORD (www.tuev-nord.de) und CETECOM
(www.cetecom.com) eine unabhängige Prüfinstanz auf
allen Gebieten der Elektromobilität.

Extension of test plan revision 2.2.2 to revision 3.1 completed

Essen, Germany, 1st of August 2011 – CETECOM has demonstrated as one of the first laboratories worldwide a high-class expertise and state-of-the-art equipment in the field of newest OTA requirements like artificial hands, A-GPS and notebooks.

CETECOM is up-to-date in the matter of the new OTA RF performance specifications – all  CTIA conform hand phantoms are available. We are pleased to serve the market needs by performing these new test requirements with the following artificial hand settings (each left and right):  

• Hand phantom for brick-shaped (monoblock) phones
• Hand phantom for clamshell (fold) phones
• Hand phantom for PDA (wide) phones

For immediate release - Determined to lead the market with the fastest wireless applications, North American carriers are demanding significant certification testing by their terminal suppliers before deploying devices on a live LTE network. While the GCF and PTCRB validate their respective conformance tests, many are being used in the carrier certification process to try to accelerate the time to market.

CETECOM has selected the Anritsu ME7834 Mobile Device Test Platform to allow both Conformance and Carrier Acceptance tests to be run on a single platform. They have also used the system to work with carriers to verify the tests for their individual requirements. By working together, CETECOM and Anritsu have built up a comprehensive portfolio of tests that have been
validated on some of the most advanced wireless devices.

The Anritsu ME7834 platform supports carrier acceptance tests specified by the major North American carriers as well as being specified as TP119 by the GCF and PTCRB. Additionally the ME7834 is a highly configurable multi-standard protocol test system supporting all of the world’s popular wireless technologies. Mike Lee (Director of Engineering at Anritsu) stated “The ME7834 provides the most comprehensive test environment for LTE combining a proven GERAN/UTRAN platform for InterRAT support. Users can have systems delivered and commissioned and with training provided, be up and running in the shortest possible time.”

Currently CETECOM provides its LTE testing services in Europe and North America as well as other locations. They have been actively contributing to the LTE standardisation process in 3GPP RAN5 as well as working with specific carriers. Thorsten Stabenau (Director of Corporate Marketing and Sales at CETECOM) stated “With LTE developing at such a pace it is important to
keep test equipment and test scripts up to date. Working with Anritsu we have been able to regularly update our systems and provide the carriers we work with one of the most reliable test platforms for validation of their tests.”

Mike Lee (Director of Engineering at Anritsu) stated “Anritsu has established a solid reputation for its comprehensive system simulator hardware which is the basis of the ME7834. There are other systems using the same hardware running continuously for extended periods with consistent results. Users can be confident that campaigns run overnight will produce meaningful results the
following morning.”
