The automotive battery is an energy storage device that can convert certain chemical elements into electrical energy.
The automotive battery consists of electrodes (positive and negative) made of lead compounds (chemical element Pb), insulating elements between the positive and negative plates. To prevent a short circuit, the electrolyte (e.g., sulphuric acid) and an acid-resistant casing.
It is used in motor vehicles to help start the engine and activate other electrical functions, such as headlights.
Inmetro Ordinance 145/2022, which approves the Technical Quality Regulations and Conformity Assessment Requirements for Automotive Components, aims to establish conformity assessment criteria and procedures for Automotive Components, focusing on safety, through the certification mechanism. Aimed at preventing accidents on public roads, it also establishes the mandatory requirements for lead acid batteries, intended for starting combustion engines to be met by the entire product supply chain in the domestic market.
NCC is an accredited OCP certifying automotive batteries within the scope of automotive components.
