FAQ

Find answers to your most pressing questions about complinace, validation and homologation at PEM Motion.

Why is compliance with due diligence requirements important?

Battery compliance ensures that products meet legal, safety, and regulatory requirements for global markets. Every battery system must comply with international standards and regulations to be approved and operated safely. Failures in this process can lead to costly delays, redesigns, or even serious safety risks. To avoid this, PEM Motion integrates compliance requirements early in the development process, ensuring legally compliant products and faster market access.

Without compliance, batteries cannot be transported, sold, or integrated into products, making it a critical gate in product launch and, at the end of the day, in business success.

Which standards and regulations are relevant for batteries?

Key regulations for batteries include, for example:

UN 38.3 (transport safety)
IEC 62619 / IEC 62133 (lithium-ion battery safety)
ISO 26262 (functional safety)

PEM Motion has extensive experience with all of these standards and provides clear, structured guidance for efficient compliance strategies and processes.

How does CE marking work for batteries?

The CE marking is not a certification from an independent body but rather a self-declaration by the manufacturer that the product complies with EU directives. The manufacturer is responsible for the conformity assessment and must create and maintain the corresponding documentation to be authorized to affix the CE marking to the product.

To achieve CE marking for batteries, a risk assessment, technical documentation, and relevant test reports must be prepared.

PEM Motion supports this process end-to-end, for all necessary tasks, from risk assessment and technical documentation to communication with testing laboratories and centers.

What role do tests play in achieving market compliance?

Testing is a critical step for ensuring that battery systems are safe and market-ready. It verifies compliance with safety, performance, and reliability requirements. PEM Motion operates its own testing infrastructure and collaborates with accredited partners such as TÜV Rheinland. This enables comprehensive validation of parameters like battery lifetime, EMC behavior, and temperature resistance—ensuring compliance and minimizing risks.

Is compliance just a formal requirement, or does it also create technical value?

Compliance is more than a legal obligation—it directly contributes to product safety, quality, and reliability. When regulatory requirements are integrated early into development, they can become a real competitive advantage through improved product performance and stronger market trust.

PEM Motion leverages this synergy by transforming regulatory constraints into practical innovation opportunities.
