Introduction
European Commission published the standardization request M/579 to the European standardization
organisations as regards to performance and sustainability requirements for batteries.
Battery systems are an efficient energy storage system for electrically propelled vehicles. The steps,
conditions and protocols for the safe repair and re-use and preparation for repurposing of modules and
batteries designed for EV applications are significantly different from those batteries used for consumer
electronics or stationary usage.
There are potential safety risks to be considered before reusing an EV battery system, battery pack and
battery modules. These should be thoroughly addressed before considering any kind of re-use
operations. Further, all re-used batteries or sub-units of batteries shall comply with all safety, transport
and product testing at the same level as new battery products (except tests requiring destructive
sampling).
This document provides specific steps, conditions and protocols for the safe repair and re-use and
preparation for repurposing of modules and batteries designed for EV battery systems, battery packs and
battery modules.
This document includes technical provisions to facilitate the safe repair and re-use and preparation for
repurposing of EV battery systems, battery packs and battery modules.
This document also includes an informative annex on guidance on design and assembly techniques
facilitating the maintenance, repair, re-use and preparation for repurposing of batteries designed for EV
applications.
NOTE This document is not intended for any repurposing of EV batteries, only for preparation for repurposing.
