Trina Storage Becomes First in Industry to Earn IEC 61508 Functional Safety Certification

Trina Storage Achieves Industry-First IEC 61508 Functional Safety Certification with a Comprehensive Commitment to Safety

On June 26, 2025, UL Solutions, a prominent authority in safety science, awarded Trina Storage the first IEC 61508 Functional Safety Process Certificate in the energy storage industry. This significant milestone has been validated by ANAB (U.S.) and recognized by the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) through multilateral recognition. The certification ceremony was attended by Dr. Sheng Tun, VP of Trina Storage’s Product Research Institute, and Sam Wei, UL Solutions’ Global & Strategic Accounts Director for Greater China.

### Standard-Driven: Redefining Safety Benchmarks

As the foundational international standard for functional safety, IEC 61508 outlines the safety requirements for electronic devices throughout their lifecycle—from design and development to operation and maintenance. This standard also lays the groundwork for industry-specific standards such as ISO 26262 (automotive) and IEC 61511 (industrial), significantly influencing global industries. By quantifying Safety Integrity Levels, the standard enables Trina Storage to implement proactive measures against critical risks, including thermal runaway prevention and battery management system (BMS) failure mitigation.

In an era of increasing system complexity, Trina Storage’s certification showcases its exceptional competence in risk management. By capitalizing on its vertically integrated research and development, as well as manufacturing capabilities, the company has built a world-class functional safety framework that enhances reliability across design, production, and operation.

### Authoritative Certification: Powering the Future of the Industry

Dr. Sheng Yun stated, “This certification validates our comprehensive functional safety management system and highlights Trina Storage’s engineering excellence. We are committed to continually advancing safety practices in line with global best practices and contributing to the industry’s development.” Sam Wei from UL Solutions added, “The energy storage sector depends on functional safety to ensure safe operating conditions, whether through battery management systems, charging stations, inverters, or other control systems. We are honored that Trina Storage chose us to apply our testing expertise to confirm their mitigation of potential safety risks.”

As a global leader in energy storage solutions, Trina Storage is dedicated to developing exceptionally safe products and providing reliable service. Moving forward, the company will continue to work closely with internationally recognized institutions like UL Solutions, harnessing innovation to empower clients with cutting-edge energy solutions.
