Compliance Scope

Core Compliance Scope — Project-Level Certifications & Compliance

This page defines Sunive’s project-level Certifications & Compliance support for battery manufacturing equipment, outlining how regulatory readiness, safety validation, and application-specific certification requirements are addressed during equipment delivery and project execution.

Rather than listing isolated certificates, this scope focuses on how compliance requirements are translated into validated performance, documented acceptance, and audit-ready deployment across different equipment categories.

Detailed acceptance records, FAT/SAT reports, and traceability documentation are covered separately under Quality Documentation.

1. Battery Testing Equipment — Measurement Reliability Compliance

Compliance for battery testing equipment centers on measurement accuracy, electrical safety, and data integrity, which directly affect grading reliability and downstream grouping decisions.

Key support includes:

• Calibration traceability aligned with national metrology standards (e.g. NIST, PTB, NIM)
• Alignment with relevant battery performance testing standards (e.g. ISO 12405, project-dependent)
• Multi-channel measurement consistency verification
• Electrical safety validation for OCV / IR measurement circuits
• Documented data mapping for MES or factory systems
• Long-term accuracy stability verification where required

This framework ensures testing equipment meets the reliability thresholds required for final electrical quality control.

2. Electrode Processing Equipment — Dimensional & Process Compliance

Electrode processing equipment compliance emphasizes dimensional accuracy, edge quality, and safe operation, supporting stable downstream stacking, winding, and sealing.

Compliance support may include:

• CE / UL / ISO / RoHS alignment based on target market requirements
• Verification of cutting, slitting, and tab-forming accuracy
• Burr and edge-quality inspection records
• Laser safety compliance (IEC 60825) for laser-based systems
• Applicable lithium-ion battery equipment standards (e.g. GB/T 38331, project-dependent)
• FAT documentation with measured process performance data

The objective is to ensure electrode geometry and material integrity meet defined process limits at delivery.

3. Pouch Cell Assembly Equipment — Sealing & Process Safety Compliance

Compliance for pouch cell assembly equipment focuses on sealing integrity, material compatibility, and production safety.

Support typically covers:

• Region-specific CE / UL / ISO / RoHS documentation
• Heat-sealing temperature and pressure uniformity verification
• Seal strength and consistency testing
• Electrolyte material-contact compatibility statements
• Cleanroom compatibility confirmation (where required)
• Production safety standards applicable to pouch cell manufacturing

This ensures assembly equipment is ready for stable, repeatable operation in production environments.

4. Pouch Cell Pilot Lines — Adaptable Compliance for R&D Environments

Pilot line compliance balances regulatory requirements with experimental flexibility, supporting evolving materials and processes.

Typical support includes:

• Material compatibility validation for films, separators, electrodes, and electrolytes
• Process window definition for sealing, pressure, tension, and filling
• Verification of custom fixtures, carriers, and handling tools
• Optional cleanroom and environmental compatibility documentation
• CE / UL / ISO / RoHS alignment when required for deployment or audits

This approach enables pilot-scale validation without imposing mass-production constraints.

5. Solid-State Battery Pilot Lines — Material Safety & Process Route Compliance

Solid-state battery equipment compliance addresses material sensitivity, environmental control, and safe operation across emerging process routes.

Support may include:

• Validation for polymer, sulfide, and oxide solid-state systems
• Controlled-atmosphere and moisture-sensitive handling documentation
• Process route verification for wet-transfer, laminated composite, and dry-sheet methods
• Alignment with applicable solid-state and safety standards (project-dependent)
• Engineering documentation supporting process evolution and modification

This framework recognizes the developmental nature of solid-state technology while maintaining operational safety.

6. Region-Specific & Project-Based Compliance Support

Compliance documentation is provided based on project scope and target market, avoiding unnecessary certification overhead.

Typical coverage:

• Core: CE, UL, ISO 9001, RoHS (as required)
• Electrical and machinery safety assessments
• Material-contact compatibility statements
• Optional reports for noise, vibration, emissions, or cleanroom use
• Regional alignment for Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific markets

Sunive’s compliance support is designed to support equipment delivery, project approval, and regulatory readiness—without introducing unnecessary certification overhead.

It reflects real process, safety, and application requirements, supports audits and inspections efficiently, and ensures each delivered system is compliant, deployable, and aligned with its intended production environment.
