EN 60952-1:2004

Aircraft batteries - Part 1: General test requirements and performance levels

This part of EN 60952 defines test procedures for the evaluation, comparison and qualification of batteries and states minimum environmental performance levels for airworthiness. Where specific tests are defined with no pass/fail requirement (to establish performance capability), the manufacturer's declared values, from qualification testing, will be used to establish minimum requirements for ongoing maintenance of approval for that design of battery.

Flugzeugbatterien - Teil 1: Allgemeine Prüfanforderungen und Leistungsmerkmale

Batteries d'aéronefs - Partie 1: Exigences générales d'essais et niveaux de performances

La présente partie de la EN 60952 définit les méthodes d'essai pour l'évaluation, la comparaison et la qualification des batteries et établit les niveaux de performance d'environnement minimaux pour la navigabilité. Lorsque les essais spécifiques sont définis sans prescription d'acceptation et de refus (pour établir la capacité de performance), alors les valeurs déclarées du fabricant, à partir des essais de qualification, seront utilisées pour établir des prescriptions minimales concernant le maintien de l'agrément pour cette conception de batterie.

This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2004-11-01. CENELEC members are bound to
comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European
Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.

Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on
application to the Central Secretariat or to any CENELEC member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and
notified to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.

CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland and United Kingdom.

Foreword
The text of document 21/611/FDIS, future edition 2 of IEC 60952-1, prepared by IEC TC 21,
Secondary cells and batteries, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and was approved by
CENELEC as EN 60952-1 on 2004-11-01.
This European Standard supersedes EN 60952-1:1993.
The changes made involve the inclusion of additional test requirements to meet the needs of the
regulatory airworthiness authorities for both product performance and qualification.
It is recognised that additional data may be required by other organisations (national standards
bodies, AECMA, SAE, etc.). The present standard can be used as a framework to devise tests for
generation of the required data.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2005-08-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2007-11-01
Annex ZA has been added by CENELEC.

Endorsement notice
The text of the International Standard IEC 60952-1:2004 was approved by CENELEC as a European
Standard without any modification.
In the official version, for Bibliography, the following notes have to be added for the standards indicated:
IEC 61434 NOTE Harmonized as EN 61434:1996 (not modified).
ISO 266 NOTE Harmonized as EN ISO 266:1997 (not modified).
