Overview

IEC 60086-3:2021/Cor 1:2023 is a technical corrigendum issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to update and correct the original IEC 60086-3:2021 standard. This standard specifically addresses primary batteries, focusing on watch batteries-small-sized cells commonly used in wristwatches and other compact electronic devices. The corrigendum mainly provides revised technical drawings and specifications, ensuring dimensional accuracy and consistency with international norms.

This update is critical for manufacturers, designers, and quality assurance professionals involved with watch batteries, helping to maintain uniformity in battery sizing, symbols, and coding, which are essential for compatibility and safety in consumer and industrial electronics.

Key Topics

• Dimensional Specifications
  The corrigendum revises the existing Figure 1, which contains the dimensional drawings of watch batteries. This update clarifies the measurements and tolerances, specified in millimeters, to ensure batteries meet precise size requirements.

• Size Coding and Symbols
  Corrections include updates to symbols and coding methods for battery sizes. Accurate coding facilitates proper identification, interchangeability, and compliance with international standards.

• Bilingual Corrections
  An important aspect of the corrigendum is the correction to both English and French versions of the document, ensuring alignment and clarity across language editions.

• Technical Accuracy
  Ensures all technical details reflect the most current engineering data, helping to avoid manufacturing defects or misinterpretation in quality control processes.

Applications

IEC 60086-3:2021/Cor 1:2023 is highly relevant for:

• Watch Manufacturers
  Guarantee compatibility of batteries with watch movements by adhering to updated size and coding standards.

• Battery Producers
  Manufacture watch batteries with precise dimensions and labeling for global market acceptance.

• Repair and Maintenance Services
  Identify and source correct replacement batteries with confidence, based on standardized codes and dimensions.

• Electronics Designers
  Integrate watch batteries into compact consumer devices, ensuring battery fit and function according to standardized parameters.

• Quality Assurance Teams
  Use corrected technical drawings and specifications to enforce strict quality controls and regulatory compliance.

Related Standards

This corrigendum is part of the broader IEC 60086 series which covers different aspects of primary batteries:

• IEC 60086-1: General requirements, test methods, and safety considerations for primary batteries.
• IEC 60086-2: Specifies performance tests for portable primary cells and batteries.
• Other Parts (such as IEC 60086-4): Cover secondary (rechargeable) batteries.

For those working with watch batteries, integrating this corrigendum with the full IEC 60086-3:2021 standard and other related documents ensures comprehensive adherence to international best practices.
