Glossary term

state of certified energy

A vehicle-battery energy-performance measure relative to certified usable battery energy.

Officially defined term1 formal definition

What does state of certified energy mean?

SOCE compares measured or on-board usable battery energy performance at a point in vehicle life with the certified value, expressed as a percentage. An on-board estimate and a measured result are distinct. It is not the same as the battery's present state of charge.

Minespider working definition

State of certified energy is the measured or on-board battery energy-performance measure expressed against certified usable battery energy.

Common boundary mistakes

Euro 7 Article 3(67) defines state of health, not SOCE.

Source context

UN GTR No. 22 Part II §3.9 defines SOCE. Euro 7 Article 3(67) concerns state of health, a different measure.

Official definitions by source

UN GTR No. 22

UN GTR No. 22

“State of certified energy” (SOCE) means the measured or on-board UBE performance at a specific point in its lifetime, expressed as a percentage of the certified usable battery energy.

UN GTR No. 22 Part II paragraph 3.9. The quotation was checked against the user-supplied base PDF and Amendment 1 consolidated DOCX; direct UNECE download was blocked. This is not the Euro 7 state-of-health definition.

Definition status

Officially defined in the cited source. The verbatim source passage is shown separately from Minespider’s explanatory text; applicability follows that source.

Practical application

Label each value measured or on-board estimated, preserve certified usable battery energy and measurement time.

Minespider commentary

Store whether a SOCE value is measured or on-board, plus the certified usable-energy baseline and test provenance.

Common confusions

  • State of certified energy is a vehicle-level durability metric defined under Euro 7. State of health is the battery-level metric used in the battery passport.
