General guidance on reuse and repurposing of secondary cells and batteries
IEC 63338:2024 applies to the reuse and repurposing of secondary lithium ion and nickel-metal hydride cells and batteries after extraction from the application for which they were first placed on the market (hereafter "relevant cells and batteries"). This document does not permit reuse or repurposing of single cells or cell assemblies if battery lifetime traceability data are not recorded. See Clause 4. Swappable batteries such as those used in e-scooters are removed and installed by the user (such as for charging) without conducting a safety assessment (such as battery lifetime traceability data assessment) as part of intended use, which is not considered reuse or repurposing. This document does not cover system component reuse and repurposing. The original manufacturer can be contacted to confirm suitability of components for reuse and repurposing. The primary purpose of this document is to provide basic guidance on the environmental aspects of reuse and repurposing of relevant cells and batteries; basic guidance on safety risks for the reuse and repurposing of relevant cells and batteries; basic guidance on original manufacturer warning notice on the applicability of a product for reuse or repurposing; and useful information regarding reuse and repurposing and relevant cell and battery regulations and standards to interested parties.

Recommandations générales relatives à la réutilisation et à la réaffectation des accumulateurs et des batteries d’accumulateurs
L'IEC 63338:2024 s’applique à la réutilisation et à la réaffectation des accumulateurs et des batteries d’accumulateurs ion-lithium et au nickel-métal hydrure après leur extraction de l’application de leur première mise sur le marché (ci-après dénommés "éléments et batteries concernés"). Le présent document n’autorise pas la réutilisation ou la réaffectation d’éléments individuels ou d’ensembles d’éléments si les données de traçabilité de la durée de vie des batteries ne sont pas enregistrées. Voir Article 4. Les batteries interchangeables telles que celles utilisées dans les scooters électriques sont retirées et installées par l’utilisateur (par exemple pour être rechargées) sans qu’une évaluation de la sécurité (telle qu’une évaluation des données de traçabilité de la durée de vie des batteries) ne soit effectuée dans le cadre de l’utilisation prévue, ce qui n’est pas considéré comme une réutilisation ou une réaffectation. L’objectif principal du présent document est de fournir des recommandations de base relatives aux aspects environnementaux de la réutilisation et de la réaffectation des accumulateurs et batteries d’accumulateurs concernés, des recommandations de base relatives aux risques de sécurité liés à la réutilisation et à la réaffectation des accumulateurs et batteries d’accumulateurs concernés, des recommandations de base relatives à l’avertissement du fabricant d’origine concernant l’applicabilité d’un produit à la réutilisation ou à la réaffectation, et des informations utiles concernant la réutilisation et la réaffectation, ainsi que les réglementations et les normes relatives aux accumulateurs et batteries d’accumulateurs concernés pour les parties intéressées.

65 GENERAL GUIDANCE FOR REUSE AND REPURPOSING OF SECONDARY CELLS AND
66 BATTERIES
68 FOREWORD
69 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization
70 comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is
71 to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical
72 and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International
73 Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and
74 Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical
75 committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this
76 preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the
77 IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization
78 for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two
79 organizations.
80 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
81 international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has
82 representation from all interested IEC National Committees.
83 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC
84 National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical
85 content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are
86 used or for any misinterpretation by any end user.
87 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC
88 Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications.
89 Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication
90 shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
91 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide
92 conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not
93 responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies.
94 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual
95 experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury,
96 property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs
97 (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this
98 IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
99 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced
100 publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
101 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the
102 subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
103 rights.
104 International Standard IEC XXXXX has been prepared by subcommittee XX: TITLE, of IEC
105 technical committee XX:XXX.
106 The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
