[PSES] Does conformance to EN 60335-1 + -2-29 sufficiently address possibilitiy of overcharging?

Lauren, I think the standards committee would argue that this hazard is dealt with by the requirement in EN 60335-2-29 ยง7.1 for a statement in the instructions WARNING: Explosive gases. Prevent flames and sparks. Provide adequate ventilation during charging. Regards Nick. On 9 Oct
