Hi Charlie, These may not be legal requirements, but if the battery will eventually be sold in the US through one of the major network operators, you will be required to demonstrate compliance with the CTIA's battery compliance program (required for Verizon and AT&T, with Sprint paying more attention and T-Mobile on the fence. (as of appx 1 year ago when I exited the mobile space)) They have separate requirements for cell, pack and final system compliance (as well as the AC/DC or DC/DC adapter but I'm guessing that doesn't apply to you). Note that these requirements may go above & beyond the more traditional UL/IEC standards requirements.
You must (i.e. SHALL) utilize a CTIA Authorized Test Lab (CATL) and have the battery pack and/or cell be listed on the CTIA's database before any handset manufacturer will be able to enter any serious talks with a network operator. (note you can probably be in-process with a target listing date, but 99.9% of the time a network operator will not accept a phone for evaluation until the pack, cell, and system are all tested and listed in the CTIA database) It's been about a year since I attended one of the standards meetings for this, so you should check with a CATL for the most recent status. If you need contact info, I can provide a few names offline.
