WHAT we offer

Your Challenges, Our Solutions

Discover how we can support you with customised compliance support and testing strategies.  

We don't know if our battery technology is truly market ready.

Our Solution: Individual Battery Testing and End-to-End Compliance Strategy

We develop individual testing strategies covering technical performance, compliance, and customer requirements to validate your battery systems under real-world conditions with customized test setups and provide the reliable data needed for confident technical decisions.

Promising technologies often fail not because of poor performance, but because critical technical, regulatory, or validation risks remain hidden until the market approval process.

Why this Matters

We're unsure which regulations and standards apply to our battery.

Our solution: Product, Use Case and Target Market Assessment

Identifying the applicable regulatory requirements is the first critical step toward compliance. Missing even one relevant requirement can lead to costly changes, failed approvals, or blocked market entry later on in the development process.

Why this Matters

We systematically assess three dimensions, your product, its intended use case, and the target market, to identify the regulations, standards, and approval requirements that apply. The resulting regulatory map provides a clear overview of the applicable requirements and shows where specific choices in product, application, or market affect your compliance obligations.

We don't know if our battery technology is truly market ready.

Our Solution: Individual Battery Testing and End-to-End Compliance Strategy

We develop individual testing strategies covering technical performance, compliance, and customer requirements to validate your battery systems under real-world conditions with customized test setups and provide the reliable data needed for confident technical decisions.

Why this Matters

Promising technologies often fail not because of poor performance, but because critical technical, regulatory, or validation risks remain hidden until the market approval process.

Standard tests don't reflect our application.

Our Solution: Failure Analysis and Root Cause Investigation

We identify the parameters that matter for your specific technical question, analyze your battery data, and translate complex results into clear technical insights. This provides the transparency needed to understand battery behavior, identify risks, and make confident engineering decisions.

Why this Matters

Standardized laboratory tests may not reproduce the electrical, thermal, mechanical, or environmental conditions your battery experiences in the real world – leaving critical application-specific risks undetected.

Our battery passes laboratory tests – but fails in the field.

Our Solution: Real-World Load Profile and Environmental Testing

We reproduce relevant field conditions in controlled laboratory environments using realistic electrical, thermal, mechanical, and environmental load profiles. This helps uncover hidden weaknesses before they become customer complaints, warranty cases, or costly field failures.

Why this Matters

Field failures often result from operating conditions and load profiles that are not adequately represented in conventional testing, creating reliability, warranty, and customer risks.

We're worried about failing certification and delaying market entry.

Our Solution: Certification Readiness and Pre-Compliance Testing

We assess your battery, documentation, and test strategy before formal certification begins and identify potential gaps and failure risks early. Pre-compliance testing provides the evidence needed to address issues before official approval, reducing the risk of failed tests, costly redesigns, and delayed market entry.

Why this Matters

A failed certification test late in development can trigger redesigns, repeated testing, and significant delays – turning a technical issue into a costly market-entry problem.

Our supplier provides material data, but we need independent confirmation.

Our Solution: Independent Material Verification and Validation

We independently assess selected material properties and specifications using appropriate analytical methods and compare the results with supplier documentation or defined requirements. This provides an objective basis for confirming the data or identifying relevant deviations.

Why this Matters

When critical material properties, composition, or specifications are based solely on supplier information, discrepancies can remain undetected and create uncertainty in development and quality decisions.

We don't know if our battery technology is truly market ready.

Our Solution: Individual Battery Testing and End-to-End Compliance Strategy

We develop individual testing strategies covering technical performance, compliance, and customer requirements to validate your battery systems under real-world conditions with customized test setups and provide the reliable data needed for confident technical decisions.

Why this Matters

Promising technologies often fail not because of poor performance, but because critical technical, regulatory, or validation risks remain hidden until the market approval process.

We have analytical data, but don't know what conclusions we can reliably draw from it.

Our Solution: Expert Data Interpretation and Decision Support

We evaluate analytical and test data in the context of the underlying materials, cell design, and battery behavior. By combining battery expertise with an understanding of analytical methods and their limitations, we identify meaningful relationships, assess the strength of the available evidence, and translate results into conclusions that support technical decisions.

Why this Matters

Analytical results do not automatically translate into actionable insights. Without the right expertise and context, important correlations can be overlooked or conclusions drawn beyond what the data actually supports.

We don't know if our battery technology is truly market ready.

Our Solution: Individual Battery Testing and End-to-End Compliance Strategy

We develop individual testing strategies covering technical performance, compliance, and customer requirements to validate your battery systems under real-world conditions with customized test setups and provide the reliable data needed for confident technical decisions.

Why this Matters

Promising technologies often fail not because of poor performance, but because critical technical, regulatory, or validation risks remain hidden until the market approval process.

We have several material, cell, or design options – but don't know which one will perform best.

Our Solution: Comparative Testing and Development Support

We design comparative testing and analysis programs to evaluate material, cell, and design alternatives against relevant performance criteria. We interpret the results in the context of your development objectives to support evidence-based selection and further optimization.

Why this Matters

Selecting the wrong option can lead to costly development iterations and shift critical problems to later development stages, when changes become increasingly expensive.

We need to understand how our battery compares with competing or alternative solutions.

Our Solution: Battery Benchmarking and Comparative Analysis

We develop targeted benchmarking programs combining battery testing, teardown, and material analysis. Comparable data and expert interpretation help identify relevant differences in performance, cell design, and materials and provide a sound basis for technical and strategic decisions.

Why this Matters

Performance data alone may not reveal where meaningful differences originate, or which technical choices create an advantage. Without a consistent basis for comparison, benchmarking can lead to misleading conclusions.
