Material Safety Performance Requirements for Power Banks
The material safety performance of power banks is of utmost importance, as it directly relates to the safety of users and their devices. Power banks consist of multiple components, including the outer casing, battery cells, circuit boards, and connecting cables, each of which requires specific material safety standards to prevent hazards such as overheating, short circuits, fires, or explosions. The outer casing, which is the first line of protection, must be made of materials that are flame-retardant, heat-resistant, and non-toxic, to withstand high temperatures and prevent the spread of fire in case of internal malfunctions.Common materials used for power bank casings include ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), PC (Polycarbonate), and aluminum alloy. ABS plastic is widely used due to its durability, impact resistance, and low cost, and it can be modified to be flame-retardant to meet safety standards. PC plastic is more heat-resistant and transparent, making it suitable for power
