Test and grade battery cells

This standard identifies the competencies and knowledge you need to test and grade cells in battery manufacturing.
 
Formation, testing, and grading a cell after manufacture is critical to its future use. You will follow a process to safely store cells to allow for formation before performing tests to grade individual cells.

During the process, you will be responsible for complying with company procedures, adhering to all safety and environmental protocols, and reporting any problems with your role to the relevant people if you cannot resolve them personally.
 
This Standard is for individuals working in the lithium-ion and post lithium-ion battery manufacturing industries.
