If your company is going to selling a cell phone that uses AT&T as a carrier, AT&T will require the entire device be subjected to and pass CTIA’s Battery Registration. The registration is based on IEEE 1725, which calls out UL 2054 and UL 1642 as requirements in a couple areas.
For more details see http://www.ctia.or /business_resources/certification/index.cfm/AID/10624 So far, AT&T is the only carrier I know of that requires CTIA Battery Registration for cell phones. It’s a painful process that involves testing and auditing by one of the few CTIA approved Battery Compliance Review Organizations (a.k.a. BCROs).
