Secondary lithium-ion cells for the propulsion of electric road vehicles - Part 3: Safety requirements
This part of IEC 62660 specifies test procedures and acceptance criteria for safety performance of secondary lithium-ion cells and cell blocks used for propulsion of electric vehicles (EV) including battery electric vehicles (BEV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV). This document determines the basic safety performance of cells used in a battery pack and system under intended use and reasonably foreseeable misuse or incident, during the normal operation of the EV. The safety requirements of the cell in this document are based on the premise that the cells are properly used in a battery pack and system within the limits for voltage, current and temperature as specified by the cell manufacturer (cell operating region). The evaluation of the safety of cells during transport and storage is not covered by this document. NOTE 1 The safety performance requirements for lithium-ion battery packs and systems are defined in ISO 6469‑1. The specifications and safety requirements for lithium-ion battery packs and systems of electrically propelled mopeds and motorcycles are defined in ISO 18243. IEC 62619 covers the safety requirements for the lithium-ion cells and batteries for industrial applications, including, for example, forklift trucks, golf carts, and automated guided vehicles. NOTE 2 Lithium cells, modules, battery packs, and battery systems are regulated by International Air Transport Association (IATA) and International Maritime Organization (IMO) for air and sea transport, and, regionally, by other authorities, mainly for land transport. Refer to IEC 62281 for additional information.

IEC 62660-3:2022 est disponible sous forme de IEC 62660-3:2022 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.L'IEC 62660-3:2022 spécifie les procédures d'essai et les critères d'acceptation en matière de performance de sécurité des éléments d'accumulateurs lithium-ion et des blocs d'éléments utilisés pour la propulsion des véhicules électriques (VE), y compris les véhicules électriques à batterie (VEB) et les véhicules électriques hybrides (VEH). Le présent document a pour objet de déterminer les performances de sécurité de base des éléments utilisés dans un groupe et système de batteries dans les conditions d'utilisation prévue et les mauvaises utilisations ou incidents raisonnablement prévisibles, pendant le fonctionnement normal du VE. Dans le présent document, les exigences de sécurité de l'élément s'appuient sur l'hypothèse selon laquelle les éléments sont correctement utilisés dans un groupe et système de batteries dans les limites de tension, de courant et de température spécifiées par le fabricant de l'élément (plage de fonctionnement de l'élément).
Sekundarni litij-ionski členi za pogon električnih cestnih vozil - 3. del: Varnostne zahteve
Ta del standarda IEC 62660 določa preskusne postopke in merila sprejemljivosti za varnostne lastnosti sekundarnih litij-ionskih členov in blokov členov, ki se uporabljajo za pogon električnih vozil (EV), vključno z električnimi akumulatorskimi vozili (BEV) ali hibridnimi električnimi vozili (HEV).
Ta dokument je namenjen za določanje osnovnih varnostnih lastnosti členov v akumulatorju in sistemu v skladu s predvideno uporabo ter pričakovano nepravilno uporabo ali incidentom pri običajnem delovanju električnih vozil. Varnostne zahteve za člen v tem dokumentu temeljijo na predpostavki, da se členi pravilno uporabljajo v akumulatorju ter sistemu znotraj napetostnih, tokovnih in temperaturnih omejitev, ki jih določi proizvajalec členov (območje delovanja členov).
Ta dokument ne vključuje ocene varnosti za člene med prevozom in skladiščenjem.
OPOMBA 1: Varnostne zahteve glede zmogljivosti litij-ionskih akumulatorjev in sistemov so opredeljene v standardu ISO 6469-1. Specifikacije in varnostne zahteve za litij-ionske akumulatorje ter sisteme električno gnanih mopedov in motornih koles so opredeljene v standardu ISO 18243. IEC 62619 zajema varnostne zahteve za litij-ionske člene in akumulatorje za industrijsko uporabo, vključno z viličarji, vozički za golf in avtomatsko vodenimi vozili.
OPOMBA 2: Informacije o območju delovanja členov so podane v dodatku A.
