This document provides a comprehensive methodology for the calculation of carbon footprint of industrial type Li-ion battery systems from cradle to grave.
Second life and/or usage that was not intended when the battery was put on the market is not taken into account in this document.
This document, along with the other parts of this series, does not apply to batteries for portable, SLI and electric road vehicle traction applications. The definition of the parameters used for the carbon footprint calculation allows for comparability of results for all rechargeable Li-ion chemistries.
Classes of representative products are defined in this document to allow comparison inside each class.
This methodology, based on the data provided by the battery manufacturer, is mainly intended to allow a carbon footprint assessment of several battery solutions over the Cumulated Requested Service (CRS). This assessment can be used in the selection process of the battery purchaser.
The methodology can also be used for a variety of purposes such as battery system development, eco-design and participation in voluntary or mandatory programs.
The methodology in this document is based exclusively on attributional life cycle assessment (LCA).
The carbon footprint calculation of charging equipment and power conversion equipment not necessary for battery functions is not covered in this document.

IEC 61000-6-3:2026 is applicable only if no relevant dedicated product or product family EMC emission standard has been published. This part of IEC 61000 for emission requirements applies to electrical and electronic equipment intended for use at residential (see 3.1.21) locations. This part of IEC 61000 also applies to electrical and electronic equipment intended for use at other locations that do not fall within the scope of IEC 61000-6-8 or IEC 61000-6-4. The intention is that all equipment used in the residential, commercial and light-industrial locations are covered by IEC 61000-6-3 or IEC 61000-6-8. If there is any doubt the requirements in IEC 61000-6-3 apply. Equipment that has a radio function (3.1.20) are included in the scope of this document. However, the emission requirements in this document are not intended to be applicable to the intentional transmissions from these radio transmitters, their harmonics and their out of band emissions. Not all disturbance phenomena have been included for testing purposes but only those considered relevant for the equipment intended to operate within the locations included within this document.
The objectives of this document are:
- to establish requirements that provide an adequate level of protection of radio reception in the frequency range 9 kHz to 400 GHz;
- to establish requirements that provide an adequate level of protection against conducted and radiated electromagnetic disturbances emitted by equipment in the scope of this document;
- to support the reproducibility of measurement and the repeatability of results.
NOTE 1 In special cases, situations will arise where the levels specified in this document will not offer adequate protection; for example, where a sensitive receiver is used in close proximity to an equipment. In these instances, special mitigation measures can be employed.
NOTE 2 Disturbances generated in fault conditions of equipment are not covered by this document.
NOTE 3 The requirements in this document are more stringent or equivalent to the requirements specified in IEC 61000-6-4 and IEC 61000-6-8.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2020. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) the addition of magnetic field emission requirements, including the measurement of WPT function;

IEC TR 63145-400-20:2026, which is a Technical Report, provides general information, main features and applications of 3D sensing used for eyewear display, and to clarify the normative aspects of the standardization in this technology area.
The 3D sensing techniques mentioned in this document are mainly based on optical, non-contact principles.

IEC 61850-80-5:2026, which is a Technical Report, specifies the mapping framework for building and configuring a system using both IEC 61850 and IEC 61158-6-15 (Industrial communication networks – Fieldbus specification, CPF Type 15, Modbus) protocols by utilizing gateways between IEC 61850 and IEC 61158-6-15 IEDs / subsystems. The objective is to enable operational run-time data exchange among these IEDs / subsystems, and to automate the configuration of a gateway as much as possible.
Please note that for the purposes of this document, "Modbus" is used to represent both serial Modbus (Modbus RTU) and IEC 61158-6-15 (Modbus TCP).
Within the capability of each protocol, some configuration attributes (IEC 61850-7-3:2010 and IEC 61850-7-3:2010/AMD1:2020 attributes with functional constraint CF) are also mapped in addition to the operational real-time data.
The frameworks specified in this document are based on the published standards and do not make any proposed changes to IEC 61850 or 61158-6-15. This standard does not specify any framework for an IEC 61850 IED to directly communicate with a Modbus IED and vice versa, except through a gateway.
This document does not mandate which data items that a particular IED will be supporting, regardless of whether the implementation uses Modbus or IEC 61850. Instead, this document provides a framework specifying how a gateway maps any given data item from Modbus into an IEC 61850 substation, including the control direction.
Similarly, this document does not mandate which mapping framework a given gateway will be supporting. When this document is republished as a Technical Specification, conformance requirements will be identified.
This document recognizes that there will be situations in which a user will require that a gateway perform non-standard protocol mappings. Non-standard mappings are outside the scope of this document.
This document also recognizes that gateways typically manipulate the data passing through them in a variety of ways. Some of these functions include alarm trigger grouping, data suppression, interlocking and command blocking. Conformance to this document does not preclude a gateway from performing such functions, even though this document primarily specifies "straight through" mapping of Modbus data to IEC 61850-7-3:2010 and IEC 61850-7-3:2010/AMD1:2020 data. Subclause 7.5 of this document describes how some of these functions can be specified to a gateway by a mapping tool using XML representations of conversion functions.
The mapping architecture for the exchange of the run-time information consists of four parts:
a) Conceptual architecture of a gateway and associated use case
b) Mapping of the information model (Assign semantic to the Modbus data)
c) Mapping of the data (which is in fact part of the information model)
d) Mapping of the services (out of scope for this document)

IEC 60413:2026 concerns graphite-based grades that are used for sliding electrical contacts, such as carbon brushes or pantograph strips. By extension, it is possible to apply the test procedures of this document to all electrical sliding contacts for electrical transmission appliances and to other appliances of graphite-based materials (heat exchangers, bearings, etc.). This document specifies uniformized procedures for determining their following properties:
- density and porosity;
- resistivity;
- flexural strength;
- hardness;
- ash content.
In addition, it provides recommendations on test procedures for other properties:
- Mechanical properties: Charpy impact test, compressive strength, tensile strength (Annex B).
- Thermal properties: coefficient of thermal expansion, specific heat capacity, thermal conductivity (Annex C).
The properties determined by these tests are inherent to the graphite-based materials and it is therefore important to distinguish them from performance characteristics in operation on electrical equipment (carbon brush in an electrical rotating machine, contact strips on a pantograph, etc.). Since these materials are generally brittle, porous materials, it is reasonable that their properties vary much more than the same properties in metals. Some test methods are suitable for use in production quality control (routine tests), others only for more thorough investigations, using precise laboratory techniques (see Annex A).
WARNING — The use of this document can involve hazardous substances, operations and equipment. It does not purport to address all of the safety or environmental problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this document to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
