Accidents involving products equipped with lithium-ion batteries, such as mobile batteries, are increasing year by year. There are calls for caution regarding the rise in fire incidents caused by lithium-ion batteries due to high temperatures. Lithium-ion batteries are composed of flammable materials and inherently carry the risk of smoke and fire. As secondary batteries have rapidly proliferated, fire incidents have also been on the rise each year. This is not only due to the harshening of usage environments and mechanisms but also because the risks of smoke and fire have not been fully verified. As a third-party verification of battery units, we assess battery performance through tests different from PSE testing: - Nail penetration test (simulating internal short circuits to assess performance) - Heating limit test (heating to thermal limits to assess performance) - 0V charging prohibition protection (assuming recharging after long-term storage) Do you have any of these concerns? - I recognize that it is dangerous, but I don't know what to do. - I lack experience and know-how in evaluation, and I am anxious about ensuring safety. - I want to determine not only safety but also whether the battery has characteristics suitable for the product. - I want to evaluate the product's durability against high temperatures, drops, and impacts to prevent fire incidents in the market.

Are there any green or white foreign substances attached to the surface of the gold-plated terminals? This may be a sign of corrosion occurring on the gold-plated terminals. Gold does not corrode, but the underlying metal beneath the gold plating can corrode. Corrosion issues with gold-plated terminals occur when the underlying metal corrodes and deposits on the gold plating. If corrosion products get caught in the connector's mating area, it can lead to poor contact. - There are visible defects on the surface of the gold-plated terminals with green, white, or black foreign substances. - I want to improve corrosion with the supplier, but I cannot obtain evidence of corrosion.

The usage environment of electronic devices varies. The impact of corrosion caused by various environmental factors tends to increase. Corrosive substances generated from hot springs, volcanoes, waste, and rivers can lead to corrosion of electronic components, printed circuit board wiring, connector contacts, and switch contacts in electrical equipment, potentially causing serious troubles. Therefore, investigating corrosive substances in the usage environment is effective for equipment maintenance and ensuring the reliability and lifespan of electronic devices. Our original corrosion environment diagnostic kit, "Eco Checker II," offers a low-cost and simple diagnostic procedure. It allows for easy investigations such as screening for corrosive substances through multi-point surveys. ■ Free Webinar Announcement! ■ We will introduce methods for diagnosing corrosion environments centered around our original corrosion environment diagnostic kit, Eco Checker II. 【Date】 July 22, 2025, 10:00–10:30 【Venue】 Online (Teams) This is recommended for those who are concerned that atmospheric conditions in the operating environment may lead to electronic device failures, or who wish to reduce failure risks in harsh environments such as hot springs or wastewater treatment plants.

■Safety Evaluation, Lifespan Testing, and Characteristic Evaluation of Battery Units Lithium-ion batteries are composed of flammable materials and inherently carry the risk of smoke and fire. With the rapid proliferation of secondary batteries, fire incidents have been increasing year by year. This is partly due to the insufficient verification of smoke and fire risks. - Not all batteries are subject to PSE (Product Safety Electrical) regulations. - PSE certification tests do not fully verify safety. - Necessary protections may not be included. As a third-party verification of battery units, we assess the battery's capabilities through tests different from PSE testing: - Nail penetration test (simulating internal short circuit to assess capabilities) - Heating limit test (heating to thermal limits to assess capabilities) - 0V charging prohibition protection (assuming recharging after long-term storage) ■Power Supply Unit and AC Adapter Evaluation / Failure Analysis - Safety evaluation of power circuits, wireless power transmission, and USB PD (Power Delivery). - Conducting various noise injection tests to verify noise tolerance and characteristic evaluation in line with power supply specifications. - Evaluation of power supply devices such as power supply units, AC adapters, UPS, and DC-DC converters, including evaluation of the built-in power circuits and verification of power failures.

Electronic components and devices installed in vehicles, including ECUs, are expected to be used in harsh environments. Various requirements from international standards (such as IEC-Q100, VDA, IATF16949) as well as unique standards from domestic and international automobile manufacturers are imposed on installed parts and units. On the other hand, in the development of in-vehicle software, there is an increasing need to comply with 'ASPICE', a development process model specialized for the automotive industry, and cases where this becomes a new ordering condition are also on the rise. For in-vehicle components and devices, we offer services for various reliability evaluation tests, environmental tests, durability tests, and failure analysis as required. In software development, we provide support for building development processes that comply with ASPICE and educational programs that explain the requirements of ASPICE.
