TOCAD Energy's New Service Overview

On May 14, 2026, TOCAD Energy Co., Ltd. announced the launch of its new contracted service named "Battery Testing RS Partners," which focuses on reliability and safety evaluations specifically tailored for batteries and battery packs. Based in Minato City, Tokyo, and led by President Taro Fujikawa, the company has been involved in battery technology since its establishment in 1972, accumulating nearly 50 years of expertise in secondary battery pack evaluation and development. This new service aims to extend the company's advanced testing capabilities to a wider range of clients facing challenges with battery testing and certification.

Background of the Service Launch

The domestic lithium-ion battery market is anticipated to reach approximately 300 billion yen in 2024, with projections estimating growth to 1.3 trillion yen by 2033, reflecting an average annual growth rate of about 18%. The expanding applications of batteries in electric vehicles (EVs), energy storage systems, medical devices, and industrial robots have significantly increased the demand for compliance with safety standards, such as UN38.3, PSE, IEC62133, and others. However, the availability of external testing facility bookings is consistently strained.

This bottleneck particularly affects small and medium enterprises and startups that lack adequate evaluation resources. In response, TOCAD Energy has decided to leverage its internal facilities, human resources, and knowledge to assist stakeholders in the industry, thereby contributing to overall growth and development.
