TIANQIUBattery Certifications, Coverage & Compliance
Certified, safe and compliant batteries for OEM projects and global shipping. Multiple certifications across every product line.
Which certification applies to the line you are buying?
This table is built from the standards declared on each of our model pages, not from a marketing list — so it also shows where a document does not apply, which is the part buyers most often have to discover for themselves.
| Product line | IEC standards declared per model | UN38.3 | UL | EU 2023/1542 DoC | SDS / MSDS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lithium coin cells (CR series) 7 models — CR1025, CR1220, CR2016, CR2025, CR2032, CR2450, CR2477 | IEC 60086-1:2021 · 60086-2:2021 · 60086-3:2021 · 60086-4:2025 (lithium safety) The only line where UN38.3 applies. | Yes — applies | Selected lines only — per product line, confirmed against your exact cell | Yes — per-model declaration | Yes |
| Alkaline button & cylindrical (Zn-MnO₂) 22 models — LR44, LR41, LR754, LR1130, LR626, 23A, 6F22, 6LR61 and others | IEC 60086-1:2021 · 60086-2:2021 · 60086-3:2021 · 60086-5:2021 (aqueous-electrolyte safety) Aqueous electrolyte, so safety is covered by 60086-5, not 60086-4. | No — not a lithium battery | Selected lines only — per product line | Yes — per-model declaration | Yes |
How to get the document pack
Certification is a procurement question before it is a traffic question, so here is exactly what you can ask for and what you will receive — no form-filling to see the list.
| What you can ask for | How it is handled | Turnaround |
|---|---|---|
| IEC test reports for the models you are buying | We send the report for the specific model and standard shown in the matrix above | Same working day |
| EU declaration of conformity (EU 2023/1542), per model | Each model has its own declaration reference — see the table above for the full list | Same working day |
| UN38.3 test summary — lithium models only | For CR-series lithium cells; we will say plainly when it does not apply to your line instead of sending a generic file | Same working day |
| Safety data sheet (SDS/MSDS) and packaging declaration | Current revision, in the format your customs broker or retailer needs | Same working day |
| UL documentation | Certificate details for the lithium lines; for alkaline and silver oxide we will tell you it is not applicable rather than substitute another mark | 1–2 working days |
| Samples marked for your project | Bare cells, blister or printed box — with your brand on the cell and the packaging | Quoted with lead time |
Which certifications do you hold?
We hold 11 certifications covering product safety, quality management, environmental compliance and transport. This page lists each one, what it covers and which product lines it applies to, so you can match the paperwork to your market before you place an order.

| Maritime / Air Transport | Safe shipping certification | Export worldwide |
Which documents do I need at each stage of buying?
Buyers rarely need all nine certificates at once. Qualification, product approval, listing and shipping each ask for a different subset — this table maps the buying stage to the document we issue for it, so you can request the right file the first time.
| Stage | What the buyer needs | What we issue |
|---|---|---|
| Supplier qualification | An audited quality system, a social-compliance audit and a factory profile | ISO 9001:2015, ISO 45001:2018 and BSCI certificates; company and factory profile |
| Product approval | Cell-level safety testing and restricted-substance testing for the models you plan to list | UL for the covered lines; SGS / PONY third-party test reports; RoHS documents |
| Listing in the EU | A declaration of conformity per model under Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, plus the battery information sheet | Numbered declaration per model (TQ-EUDOC-…), CE documentation, battery information sheet |
| Listing in the United States | Transport test data for lithium cells, and child-resistant packaging plus warning labels for button cells | UN38.3 test report; packaging printed to your tested design — see the US packaging law page |
| Shipping by air or sea | The documents a freight forwarder and customs ask for on a lithium consignment | UN38.3 test summary and MSDS / SDS issued with each shipment |
Market rules change. The table reflects the documents buyers ask us for most often — tell us your destination market and we confirm the current file set for your models.
What does each market require, and can you supply it?
Customs and retailers ask different questions in each region. This table shows what importers in each market typically request for a battery consignment and what we provide against it — factory direct, so the documents come from the producing plant rather than a trading desk.
| Market | What buyers ask for | What we provide |
|---|---|---|
| European Union | A Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 declaration of conformity for each model, CE documentation, RoHS and the separate-collection marking | Per-model numbered declarations, CE and RoHS documents, battery information sheets |
| United States | UN38.3 transport test data for lithium cells, UL on consumer lines, and child-resistant packaging with warning labels for button cells | UN38.3 report, UL on the selected lines, packaging printed to your tested design |
| United Kingdom | The model data sheet, substance test reports and UN38.3 for lithium cells | Model data sheets, RoHS and third-party test reports, UN38.3 transport documents |
| Japan | Model data sheets referenced to IEC 60086, MSDS and UN38.3 for lithium cells | Per-model data sheets, MSDS / SDS, UN38.3 transport documentation |
| Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia, …) | UN38.3, MSDS and conformity documents for customs clearance | Transport documents and test reports for the ordered models |
| Africa & Southeast Asia | ISO 9001 evidence, third-party inspection and UN38.3 for lithium cells | Certificates and SGS / PONY inspection reports on request |
Which models carry an EU declaration of conformity?
26 models in the current range each carry their own numbered declaration of conformity under Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 — the reference format is TQ-EUDOC-<model>-<date>. Check your model in the table, then request the signed file with your inquiry.

Models outside this list can be added to the declaration programme for your project — tell us the cell and the destination market. For lithium cells add the UN38.3 report, and for button cells sold in the United States see US button battery packaging law.
Is your battery UL certified?
Selected battery lines are UL-certified to meet North American consumer-safety standards — a key trust marker for US and Canadian importers. The certificate names the specific models it covers, so you can check the file against the model you intend to buy.
What UL Covers
Safety testing for the specific line, including leakage, over-temperature and cell-level safety.
Which Lines
Certification is per product line — tell us the exact cell and we confirm UL coverage for your project.
Are your lithium batteries UN38.3 tested?
Our lithium button and cylindrical cells are tested to UN38.3 for safe air and sea transport, across all 8 required tests. The test summary and the transport documentation are issued with each shipment, which is the paperwork freight forwarders and customs ask for on lithium consignments.
Maritime and air transport certification is available on request — request the UN38.3 test report with your inquiry.
Do you manufacture to IEC 60086?
Our button cells are manufactured and tested to the IEC 60086 series for primary batteries. That standard fixes the dimensions, designation and discharge-test conditions for each cell size, which is why an IEC number is the reference buyers use when comparing a replacement against the original.
Battery characteristics data sheets per model are available, compliant with EU Regulation 2023/1542.
Are your batteries mercury-free and EU compliant?
We produce 0% mercury alkaline button cells and provide the compliance documentation required for the EU market. EU rules restrict mercury in primary cells, and the declaration of conformity confirms that the limit is met for the models we ship.
0% Mercury (Hg)
We produce 0% mercury alkaline button cells, in line with modern environmental standards.
EU Regulation 2023/1542
Battery information is provided in compliance with EU Regulation 2023/1542, with CE and RoHS documentation available.
