The new European regulation obliges all manufacturers of electric vehicles to electric vehicles to certify their batteries before marketing them. In this scenario, the Instituto Tecnológico de la Energía (ITE) emerges as a key player, as it is the only center in Spain accredited to perform these tests in accordance with the regulation (EU) 2023/1542.
ITE will be key to Spain’s compliance with European regulations
From now on, any manufacturer that wants to sell electric sell electric vehicles in the European Union in the European Union must submit its batteries to technical tests to verify power, safety and durability. This process must be carried out in officially accredited centers. In all of Europe, only three laboratories meet these requirements: two in Germany and the ITE laboratory, located in the Valencia Technology Park.
[post_relacionado]ITE’s laboratory, accredited by the National Accreditation Entity (ENAC), represents a strategic resource for the electric mobility ecosystem in Spain. electric mobility ecosystem in Spain. Without this infrastructure, companies would have to move their developments to other countries, making validation processes more expensive and generating competitive delays.
A laboratory specialized in battery certification
The Battery Lab at ITE performs performance tests on lithium-ion cellscells, modules and storage systems, under the most demanding international standards. It also has complementary capabilities in fields such as electromagnetic compatibility, electrical calibrations and safety testing. This versatility makes the center an essential technology partner for large manufacturers, SMEs and startups.
ITE also offers technical advice to optimize battery design and efficiency, thus supporting regulatory compliance and promoting competitiveness throughout the electromobility value chain.
A pillar for innovation in sustainable mobility
ITE has been promoting technology transfer in clean energy for more than three decades, but with this European accreditation, in addition to reinforcing its position as a national benchmark, it enables the Spanish industry to face the challenges of sustainability and market access in the era of electrification of transport with guarantees. electrification of transport.
Local certification is not only a logistical advantage, it is a tool for technological sovereignty and a decisive factor for Spain to maintain its industrial competitiveness within the new European legal framework.
