This standard specifies test methods and requirements for secondary lithium batteries and its interface with an appropriate charging system for the safe use in EPACs.
This standard does not apply to performance and functional characteristics of batteries.
This standard refers to the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods - Manual of Tests and Criteria: Section 38.3 which are performed independently from this testing program. Test reports issued by an ILAC, APLAC or similar accredited party are acceptable for the Battery complying with all aspects of Section 38.3 of Manual of Tests and Criteria of UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods for this test option.
This standard treats electric chargers only as far as it defines requirements for the interface between pack and charger which influence the safety of Li-battery-packs while being charged.
This standard does not cover batteries for electric vehicles covered by ISO 6469 and ISO 18246.
For cells: Relevant international standard IEC 62133, IEC 61960; IEC 62660.
This standard does not apply to:
- lithium cells;
- batteries other than lithium ion types;
- primary Batteries(including lithium types);
- lithium Battery Packs with a total weight exceeding 12 kg (UNT 38.3);
- batteries covered by ISO 12405 and ISO 18243.
