Safety of primary and secondary lithium cells and batteries during transport

NEW!IEC 62281:2016 is available as IEC 62281:2016 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
IEC 62281:2016 specifies test methods and requirements for primary and secondary (rechargeable) lithium cells and batteries to ensure their safety during transport other than for recycling or disposal. Requirements specified in this standard do not apply in those cases where special provisions given in the relevant regulations, listed in 7.3, provide exemptions. NOTE - Different standards may apply for lithium-ion traction battery systems used for electrically propelled road vehicles. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition, published in 2012, and constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - Deletion of the wire mesh screen from the evaluation of test criteria for an explosion; - Extension / modification of the shock test parameters so as to achieve constant energy behaviour for large batteries as well as explanations in a new Annex A; - Modification of the external short-circuit method so as to allow the short-circuit to be applied to large batteries after they have been removed from the temperature chamber; - Change of the cell diameter distinguishing between impact and crush test from 20 mm to 18 mm; - Addition of possible content for a transport certificate. Keywords: test methods and requirements for primary and secondary (rechargeable) lithium cells and batteries, transport certificate

Sécurité des piles et des accumulateurs au lithium pendant le transport

NEW!IEC 62281:2016 est disponible sous forme de IEC 62281:2016 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.
IEC 62281:2016 spécifie les méthodes d’essai et les exigences pour les éléments et les batteries de piles et d'accumulateurs au lithium afin de s'assurer de leur sécurité pendant les opérations de transport autres que celles relatives à leur recyclage ou leur mise au rebut. Les exigences spécifiées dans la présente norme ne s’appliquent pas aux cas pour lesquels des dispositions spéciales prévues dans les réglementations applicables, énumérées en 7.3, accordent des exemptions. NOTE - Différentes normes peuvent s'appliquer aux systèmes de batteries de traction ion-lithium utilisés pour les véhicules routiers électriques. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2012. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: - Suppression des treillis métalliques dans l’évaluation des critères d’essai pour une explosion; - Extension / modification des paramètres de l’essai de chocs, de façon à obtenir un comportement constant d’énergie pour les grandes batteries, ainsi que des explications dans la nouvelle Annexe A; - Modification de la méthode de court-circuit externe, de façon à pouvoir appliquer le court-circuit à de grandes batteries après leur retrait de la chambre thermique; - Diminution du diamètre d’élément de 20 mm à 18 mm, en faisant la distinction entre l’essai d’impact et l’essai d’écrasement; - Ajout de contenu possible de certificat de transport. Mots clés : méthodes d’essai et les exigences pour les éléments et les batteries de piles et d'accumulateurs au lithium, Certificat de transport

Varnost primarnih in sekundarnih litijevih členov in baterij med transportom (IEC 62281:2016)

Ta mednarodni standard določa preskusne metode ter zahteve za primarne in sekundarne (polnilne) litijeve člene in baterije za zagotovitev njihove varnosti med transportom, ne vključuje pa recikliranja oziroma odlaganja. Zahteve, določene v tem standardu, se ne uporabljajo za primere, v katerih posebne določbe, podane v ustreznih predpisih, navedenih v točki 7.3, določajo izjeme.
OPOMBA: za litij-ionske sisteme pogonskih akumulatorjev, ki se uporabljajo za cestna vozila na električni pogon, se lahko uporabljajo različni standardi.
