Hi Kevin, I am having trouble understanding your situation. Is it a cell or battery? What do you mean by new product? Was it somehow approved with another product? Welding tabs to a cell would have no impact on the cell approval and is the normal way of making the connection. Best

Hi Scott, I actually thought the dow was in October. 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

Hi Charlie, Regardless of NFPA 79 being applicable or not, you will still want to select another product safety standard as NFPA 70 will not address the product completely. I do not know enough about the product based on your description to suggest an appropriate standard. Best Regards,

Hi Pete, If it is for CB Scheme, that rule was put out by IECEE in 2011 with exemption to TC108 standards. For others, unless it is Hazardous Location or Intrinsic Safety, it is probably based on the lab exactly how the situation is handled. Best Regards, Jody Leber Consumer Testing
