Secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes - Sealed nickel-metal hydride cells and batteries for use in industrial applications - Part 2: Safety
IEC-63115-2:2021 specifies designations, tests and requirements for the safe operation of sealed nickel-metal hydride cells and batteries used in industrial applications excluding road vehicles. Since this document covers batteries for various industrial applications, it includes those requirements which are common and minimum to the various applications.

Accumulateurs alcalins et autres accumulateurs à électrolyte non acide - Accumulateurs étanches au nickel-métal hydrure destinés à l'utilisation dans les applications industrielles - Partie 2: Sécurité
L'IEC 63115-2:2021 précise les désignations, les essais et les exigences pour le fonctionnement en sécurité des accumulateurs étanches au nickel-métal hydrure destinés à une utilisation dans les applications industrielles, à l'exception des véhicules routiers. Lorsqu'une Norme internationale IEC spécifiant des conditions d'essai et des exigences pour des éléments destinés à des applications particulières est en contradiction avec le présent document, la publication particulière est appliquée en priorité (par exemple, l'IEC 62675). Le présent document inclut les exigences communes et minimales pour plusieurs applications dans la mesure où il traite des batteries destinées aux différentes applications industrielles.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC Nat
