Technical committeeTypeAcronymIEC 62485-3:2014CommitteePublished year2014Description
IEC 62485-3:2014 applies to secondary batteries and battery installations used for electric vehicles, e.g. in electric industrial trucks (including lift trucks, tow trucks, cleaning machines, automatic guided vehicles), in battery powered locomotives, in electric vehicles (e.g. goods vehicles, golf carts, bicycles, wheelchairs), and does not cover the design of such vehicles. It provides requirements on safety aspects associated with the installation, use, inspection, maintenance and disposal of batteries. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) a comprehensive revision of Clause 6, presenting a unified and changed formula for the calculation of the required ventilation air flow during battery charging; b) addition of requirements for properties of floor material and battery changing equipment in Clause 9.

Technical committeeTypeAcronymIEC 62485-1:2015CommitteePublished year2015Description
IEC 62485-1:2015 specifies the basic requirements for secondary batteries and battery installations. The requirements regarding safety, reliability, life expectancy, mechanical strength, cycle stability, internal resistance, and battery temperature, are determined by various applications, and this, in turn, determines the selection of the battery design and technology. In general, the requirements and definitions are specified for lead-acid and nickel-cadmium batteries. For other battery systems with aqueous electrolyte, the requirements may be applied accordingly. The standard covers safety aspects taking into account hazards associated with: - electricity (installation, charging, discharging, etc.); - electrolyte; - inflammable gas mixtures; - storage and transportation.

Technical committeeTypeAcronymIEC 62281:2019+AMD1:2021 CSVCommitteePublished year2021KeywordsDescription
IEC 62281:2019+A1:2021 specifies test methods and requirements for primary and secondary (rechargeable) lithium cells and batteries to ensure their safety during transport other than for recycling or disposal. Requirements specified in this document do not apply in those cases where special provisions given in the relevant regulations, listed in 7.3, provide exemptions. NOTE Different standards may apply for lithium-ion traction battery systems used for electrically propelled road vehicles. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2016. This edition constitutes a technical revision.This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) button cell definition revised, moved to coin (cell or battery); b) addition of provisions for batteries forming an integral part of equipment (5.4); c) all tests for secondary cells and batteries now also contain a requirement for 25 charge and recharge cycles prior to the test; d) addition of alternative tables for Table 1 and Table 2 in Annex B; e) addition of "forcible" to the rupture criteria; f) test report 6.8 merged with test certificate 6.9 and replaced with the items listed in [13]; g) addition of an informative Annex B with important deviations from the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Chapter 38.3. This consolidated version consists of the fourth edition (2019) and its amendment 1 (2021). Therefore, no need to order amendment in addition to this publication.

Technical committeeTypeAcronymIEC 61427-2:2015CommitteePublished year2015KeywordsDescription
IEC 61427-2:2015 relates to secondary batteries used in on-grid Electrical Energy Storage (EES) applications and provides the associated methods of test for the verification of their endurance, properties and electrical performance in such applications. The test methods are essentially battery chemistry neutral, i.e. applicable to all secondary battery types. On-grid applications are characterized by the fact that batteries are connected, via power conversion devices, to a regional or nation- or continent-wide electricity grid and act as instantaneous energy sources and sinks to stabilize the grids performance when randomly major amounts of electrical energy from renewable energy sources are fed into it. Related power conversion and interface equipment is not covered by this part of IEC 61427.

Technical committeeTypeAcronymIEC 60623:2017 RLVCommitteePublished year2017KeywordsDescription
IEC 60623:2017 RLV contains both the official IEC International Standard and its Redline version. The Redline version is available in English only and provides you with a quick and easy way to compare all the changes between the official IEC Standard and its previous edition. IEC 60623:2017 specifies marking, designation, dimensions, tests and requirements for vented nickel-cadmium prismatic secondary single cells. When there exists an IEC standard specifying test conditions and requirements for cells used in special applications and which is in conflict with this document, the former takes precedence. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - optional characterization of cells designed for performances at very low and/or very high temperature; - optional characterization of cells tested with CCCV charge; - optional characterization of cells designed for rapid charge; - optional characterization of cells designed for high cycling.
