In addition to what others have already said there are also National requirements for Lithium Ion Batteries/ Battery packs in Japan and Korea which have an energy density greater then 400W/L. Japan is a self declaration so you can get testing done in any lab while Korea requires the testing to be performed by an accredited lab, like KTL, in Korea.
In addition there are IATA DOT requirements for batteries where testing is required……….. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of McInturff, Gary Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 2010 4:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Lithium Ion Batteries Is there a Harmonized standard for Lithium batteries in the EU. For UL and the US Battery Cells would fall under UL 1642-Lithium Batteries. If there will also be a Battery Pack involved that it would also be UL 2054. Of Course now I’m confused what is the difference between a Lithium Battery and a battery Pack. I’m missing the obvious I suppose but I understand there might be requirements on the cell – but isn’t a pack nothing more than a series of cells? Do battery packs incorporate safety circuits – I would presume that whether one or more battery I would have to design a circuit that safely charges, discharges, protects against over voltage, and maybe a temperature monitoring circuit etc – but again I would presume if I do that for one cell I can scale for cells that have been shrink wrapped into a pack. I;m trying to get the scope for both of these documents but stumbling Gary McInturff Reliability/Compliance Engineer Advanced Input Systems Esterline Corporation 600 West Wilbur Avenue Coeur d' Alene, Idaho 83815 Tel: 208 635 8306 Fax 208 635 8706 - This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
