Standards Development
This document specifies requirements and tests for the product safety of secondary lithium cells and batteries used in electrical energy storage systems (Figure 2) with a maximum DC voltage of 1 500 V.
Basic safety requirements for the secondary lithium cells and batteries used in industrial applications are included in IEC 62619. This document provides additional or specific requirements for electrical energy storage systems.
Since this document covers batteries for various electrical energy storage systems, it includes those requirements which are common and minimum to the electrical energy storage systems.
The scope of this document covers batteries to be used by professional and non-professional users. Where applicable, requirements are separated between these user groups.
Examples of battery systems appliances that are within the scope of this document are:
– telecommunications,
– central emergency lighting and alarm systems,
– stationary engine starting,
– photovoltaic systems,
– home (residential) energy storage systems (HESS), and
– large energy storage: on-grid/off-grid,
– uninterruptible power supplies
This document does not apply to portable systems, or battery system below 500 Wh, which are covered by IEC 61960-3 [1].
