In the rapidly evolving EV ecosystem, mechanical interoperability is just as critical as electrochemical performance. IS 16827:2018 (identical to ISO/IEC PAS 16898:2012) serves as the definitive blueprint for the physical standardization of lithium-ion cells. This standard moves beyond simple measurements; it validates that your cells—whether cylindrical, prismatic, or pouch—adhere to global form-factor norms, ensuring seamless integration into diverse battery pack designs and simplifying the homologation process for OEMs.

Standard: IS 16827:2018 / ISO/IEC PAS 16898:2012
This standard is the Indian adoption of the international ISO/IEC Publicly Available Specification. It is the fundamental prerequisite for establishing the mechanical specifications of Electrically Propelled Road Vehicles (EVs). While IS 16893 covers safety, IS 16827 ensures the "mechanical handshake" between the cell and the vehicle system.
Our testing facility is equipped to validate the three primary form factors utilized in modern electric powertrains:
Unlike destructive safety testing, this protocol focuses on Non-Destructive Dimensional Verification (NDT). Our metrology lab assesses:
Trust is the currency of compliance. Our reports are generated by a laboratory holding:
We understand that product launches cannot wait.
To ensure a seamless testing process, the following samples are required:
We offer transparent, flat-rate pricing for dimensional testing.
Note: As this is non-destructive testing, the cost is significantly lower than full Type Test safety certification.
To initiate the project, the following technical documentation is mandatory:
Currently, this standard is voluntary for R&D but highly recommended for BIS certification. It ensures your cells physically fit into standardized electric vehicle battery packs without integration issues.
No, this standard strictly covers physical dimensions, terminal location, and form factor. For safety testing like thermal runaway or nail penetration, you must refer to IS 16893 standards.
This standard applies exclusively to individual lithium-ion cells (cylindrical, prismatic, or pouch). Complete battery packs require different testing protocols, such as AIS 156, to ensure full vehicle compliance.
No, IS 16827 involves non-destructive metrology and visual inspections. Your samples remain intact and functional, allowing you to use them for subsequent electrical or safety testing if needed.
Cells failing the dimensional tolerances are rejected because they pose assembly risks. Even minor deviations can cause mechanical stress or short circuits when stacked tightly inside a battery module.
