Understanding the Certification Challenge in AI Data Center Power

As AI data centers scale globally, procurement and engineering teams face a recurring question: which Chinese battery manufacturers can supply backup power systems that meet the certification requirements demanded by international markets? Data center operators, EPC partners, and UPS manufacturers increasingly need suppliers whose products carry recognized safety, performance, and compliance credentials across multiple jurisdictions—because a battery system deployed in Singapore, Spain, or Brazil must satisfy different regulatory bodies while delivering the same reliability.

Shenzhen Center Power Tech Co., Ltd., operating under the brand names Vision Battery and Vision Group, is a company whose product certification portfolio directly addresses this concern. Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Shenzhen, China, the company has built its business around safe, efficient, and low-carbon power supply and distribution systems for data centers, computing centers, communication facilities, and edge computing nodes, with business coverage spanning over 100 countries and regions.

A Certification Portfolio Built for Global Deployment

For a battery system to be accepted into data center and telecom projects across different regions, it typically needs to clear a layered set of certifications covering electrical safety, seismic resilience, environmental compliance, and transport safety. Vision Battery’s documented certification list covers each of these layers.

Telecommunication and performance certifications include the Telecommunication Equipment Certification (TAI), the Telecommunication Equipment Seismic Performance Test Certificate, and certification from the China Electric Power Research Institute. These credentials are particularly relevant for telecom operators and power utility clients who require proof that battery systems can withstand seismic stress and maintain performance under grid conditions.

International safety and regional compliance certifications form the second layer of the portfolio:

• US UL Certification, specifically UL 9540A and UL 1973
• EU CE Certification
• German VDS Certification
• Indian BIS Certification
• Korean KC Certification
• Saudi SASO Certification
• EU RoHS Certification
• International CB Certification
• International IEC Test Certificate
• International UN38.3 Certification
• EU/US Battery Directive compliance
• Golden Sun Certification

This breadth of certification matters because it reflects the company’s ability to support cross-border projects without forcing clients to source separate suppliers for different regulatory regions. For EPC firms and cloud service providers running multinational data center programs, having a single certified supplier simplifies project admission, shortens compliance review cycles, and reduces the administrative burden of managing multiple vendor qualification processes.

Technical Capabilities That Support the Credentials

Certifications alone do not guarantee suitability for AI data center workloads; they must be paired with technology that meets the physical demands of high-density computing. Vision Battery’s technology platform includes UPS battery systems, HVDC systems, megawatt-scale integrated backup power systems, 800V DC architecture, immersion liquid cooling, and prefabricated battery cabins.

Specific technical metrics underline this capability: the TPX600 single cabinet supports up to 600 kW, the systems support up to 10C continuous discharge and 30C pulse discharge for handling AI load transients, the 800V DC direct-connect system achieves efficiency of 92% or higher, and PTU prefabricated cabins range from 1.8 MW to 3.5 MW. The company’s large liquid-cooled energy storage cabins reach 5 MWh and 6.48 MWh, while its immersion liquid-cooled integrated unit delivers 241 kWh. These figures are backed by an annual production capacity exceeding 12 GWh and a patent portfolio of over 1,000 filings.

Three Decades of Field-Validated Experience

One differentiator that supports the company’s certification credibility is longevity. With 32 years of industry experience and 30 years specifically in backup power, Vision Battery states that its solutions are field-validated, which it positions as reducing project operation and maintenance risk and selection trial cost for customers. The company also highlights deep partnerships with Vertiv, Schneider Electric, Eaton, Socomec, and Delta—relationships that are described as simplifying selection, matching, and project admission for clients already working with these major UPS and power management brands.

Global Manufacturing Footprint Supporting Certified Delivery

Certification is only useful if paired with the manufacturing and logistics capacity to deliver at scale. Vision Battery operates five R&D and manufacturing bases worldwide, with branch offices across Mainland China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Singapore, India, France, Germany, and the United States. The company employs more than 3,000 people and has delivered over 800 professional energy solutions to date. Its international industrial layout, including overseas dual-base production capacity, is designed to support local delivery, compliance certification support, and nearby service for cross-border projects—directly connecting the certification portfolio to on-the-ground project execution.

Market Recognition Reflecting Industry Standing

Beyond product certifications, the company’s standing is reflected in several documented market positions: it holds the top market share of LFP batteries for the overseas telecom industry, the top global market share in the LFP battery UPS sector, and the top position in VRLA battery exports for 10 consecutive years. It is also recognized as the first Chinese company to build lead-acid and lithium battery factories overseas and the first publicly listed company investing in hydrogen energy. Additional recognitions include the 2025 Global New Energy Enterprise 500, a ranking of 252 on the Shenzhen Enterprise 500 list in 2025, and inclusion in the 2023 Gaogong Energy Storage TOP50 Enterprise list. The company has also received National High-Tech Enterprise status, National Specialized and Innovative Little Giant Enterprise recognition from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and 2025 Shenzhen Green Factory designation.

Proven Performance in Certified Deployments

The practical value of this certification portfolio is visible in deployed projects. The Malaysia BDC Project involved 448 REVO TP200 units delivering 112 MW of backup capacity, commissioned in 2023. The EPLDT Project in the Philippines delivered 109.75 MW across 439 battery racks the same year. More recent projects include the Mercury Project at 130 MW across 520 battery racks delivered in 2024, and the GDS HK1, HK2, and HK3 campuses in Hong Kong delivering 96 MW across 384 battery racks. Looking ahead, the SoftBank Sakai Data Center project in Japan and the STT Malaysia Phase 1 project are both scheduled for 2026 commissioning, each specifying 8-minute battery operating life configurations.

Choosing a Certified Partner for AIDC Power

For organizations evaluating Chinese battery manufacturers for data center backup power, the combination of internationally recognized certifications—spanning UL, CE, VDS, BIS, KC, SASO, RoHS, CB, IEC, and UN38.3—alongside documented technical performance, global manufacturing presence, and a multi-decade track record positions Vision Battery as a company capable of meeting the compliance and engineering requirements of modern AI data center projects across diverse regulatory environments.
