Hi Scott, I know EN 60950-1 includes it, but cannot find any reference in the OJEU.
Not easy for the end product standards as that would be a large search. For CB Scheme it is actually IEC 62133. There was a change some year ago where batteries had to meet IEC 62133 or IEC 60086-1 for the end product certificates.

For radio equipment, the voltage limit of LVD is removed in both R&TTED and RED. Can you point me to where the end product standards and CB Scheme call up EN 62133 2013. Cl 8.3.9 is only applied to France in EU and definitely not a harmonised standard. It is a speculation that some time ago, the global battery recalls lied on internal short circuit due to contamination in production on almost all rechargeable battery pack in NBs. It is disappointed that only two major countries, Japan and Korea who produce major share of rechargeable batteries are willing to adopt the new requirement. Thus battery recalls still continue and luckily in a smaller scale.

Where did you see the July date? I do not believe it is any Directive as most batteries are outside of the scope of the LVD. You will find in end product standards and it is required for CB Scheme. 8.3.9: Design evaluation – Forced internal short circuit only applies to Korea, Japan, Switzerland and France. It is not clear about the enforcement of 8.3.9, because that is country difference. Can it be enforced for the EU?
