General Information

Overview
EN 62259:2004 (CLC) is the European adoption of an international standard for secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline or other non‑acid electrolytes. It specifically covers nickel‑cadmium prismatic secondary single cells with partial gas recombination. The standard specifies marking, designation, dimensions, tests and requirements for vented prismatic Ni‑Cd cells where special design provisions enable partial - and in very specific conditions, full - gas recombination.
Key Topics
The standard addresses the essential technical and conformity aspects of vented nickel‑cadmium prismatic cells, including:
- Marking and designation: mandatory identification and labeling requirements for safe use and traceability.
- Dimensions: physical size and form‑factor specifications to ensure compatibility with holders and battery assemblies.
- Tests: standardized test requirements to assess behaviour of vented prismatic Ni‑Cd single cells with gas recombination features.
- Requirements for gas recombination: provisions and acceptance criteria for cells designed to recombine evolved gases partially (or under specific conditions, fully) rather than venting them freely.
- Venting and safety considerations: measures related to venting behaviour when recombination provisions are present.
These topics help define both manufacturing tolerances and QA/test regimes without prescribing proprietary cell designs.
Applications
EN 62259:2004 is used where prismatic nickel‑cadmium single cells are manufactured, tested, specified or purchased. Typical users include:
- Battery manufacturers designing and certifying vented Ni‑Cd prismatic cells with recombination features.
- Test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies performing standardized tests and issuing certificates.
- Product designers and system integrators who specify battery cells for emergency power, industrial equipment, communications or transportable electronics.
- Quality assurance and procurement teams ensuring incoming cell batches meet European standard requirements.
- Regulators and safety engineers assessing compliance with harmonized Europe-wide battery requirements.
Using EN 62259 helps ensure consistent marking, interchangeability, predictable venting/recombination behaviour, and reliable baseline testing across suppliers.
Related Standards
For broader battery safety and performance context, EN 62259:2004 is part of a family of EN/IEC standards for secondary cells and batteries covering different chemistries, test methods and safety topics. When specifying or testing Ni‑Cd prismatic cells, stakeholders commonly reference related EN/IEC documents governing cell safety, transport, and system integration.
