Underwriters Laboratories (UL) was certified as a CTIA Authorized Test Lab (CATL), which can test and certify cell phone rechargeable battery products and systems to the CTIA Battery Certification Program.

The certification program verifies the conformance of applicable products, including lithium ion battery cells and packs, chargers and adapters to Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 1725 1-2006 - Standards for Rechargeable Batteries for Cellular Telephones.

The program can be applied to single products or to combinations of applicable products as a complete system such as battery cell, battery pack, charger and host device (mobile phone).

In addition to testing, certification also requires an annual inspection of the cell manufacturing site. A declaration of compliance with CTIA requirements is also required from the applicant.

The CTIA certification is an industry standard, but also a requirement set by telecom providers for their suppliers, according to UL.
