EN 50604-1:2016/A1:2021 (E)
Introduction
Lithium-ion battery systems are efficient rechargeable energy storage systems for electrically propelled
road vehicles. The requirements for lithium-ion battery systems to be used as power source for the
propulsion of electric road vehicles are significantly different to those batteries used for consumer
electronics or for stationary applications.
Lithium-ion batteries can store electricity at relatively high-energy density compared to other battery
chemistries currently available. Under current state of art, most lithium-ion batteries use organic
electrolytes classified as Class 3 “flammable liquid” under “UN Recommendations on the Transport of
Dangerous Goods – Model Regulations”. Therefore, mitigating potential hazards associated with fire or
explosion of lithium-ion batteries are considered as an important issue.
The EN 50604-1 series is read in conjunction with ISO 12405-3:2014 (withdrawn) and ISO 6469-1:2019
(for this amendment). The clauses of the particular requirements in EN 50604-1 supplement or modify
the corresponding clauses in ISO 12405-3:2014 (withdrawn) and ISO 6469-1:2019 (for this
amendment). Where the text indicates an “addition” to or a “replacement” of the relevant requirement,
test specification or explanation of ISO 12405-3:2014 (withdrawn) and ISO 6469-1:2019 (for this
amendment), these changes are made to the relevant text of ISO 12405-3:2014 (withdrawn) and
ISO 6469-1:2019 (for this amendment), which then becomes part of the standard. Where no change is
necessary, the words “This clause of ISO 12405-3:2014 is applicable” are used.
Test items were selected to simulate conditions likely to occur during handling (e.g. removal or
replacement) or during operation. They cover conditions of normal operation, rough handling and as
well likely conditions of misuse or negligent handling. For electric vehicles operating under extreme
conditions (e.g. off-road, extreme climate etc.) additional requirements could be necessary which are
not covered by this document.
NOTE Additional requirements might also apply to battery system after the integration into the vehicle resulting
from national or regional regulations and are not dealt with in this document. Same applies to hazards from electric
shock.
This document provides specific test procedures and related requirements to ensure an appropriate and
acceptable level of safety of lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery systems specifically developed for propulsion of
road vehicles. Propositions for other chemistries are given in informative Annex HH.
This document indicates references to the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods – Manual of Tests and Criteria: Section 38.3 which are performed independently from this testing
program. Test reports issued by an ILAC, APLAC or similar accredited party are acceptable for the
battery system complying with all aspects of Section 38.3 of Manual of Tests and Criteria of UN
Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods for this test option. Test reports issued and
verified by in house testing according to UN 38.3 are also accepted.

Wire ways shall be smooth and free from sharp edges, and internal wiring shall be routed, supported,
clamped or secured in a manner that reduces the likelihood of excessive strain on wire and on terminal
connections.
Holes through which insulated wires pass shall have smooth well-rounded surfaces or be provided with
bushings.
Wire insulation shall be sufficient to withstand the maximum anticipated voltage, current, temperature,
altitude, humidity requirements and mechanical stress.
In connections by soldered terminations, the conductor shall be held in position additionally to the
soldering to maintain it in position.
Connection to the cells shall be made according to the specification of the cell manufacturer in a manner
that does not result in damage to the cells.

EN 50604-1:2016/A1:2021 (E)
Compliance is checked by design review or inspection.
The enclosure of a removable battery pack/system shall provide at least IP54 according to
EN 60529:1991.
A crush test is not required if the battery system in the EV is secured by double mechanical protection
(e.g. latch and mechanical cover).Compliance shall be verified by inspection of a test report.
Only for battery systems permanently fixed to vehicles with maximum speed more than 45 km/h, crash
tests which may replace a crush test are defined by the countries where the vehicles are released.
It is strongly recommended to extend the post-test observation period for destructive tests to 24h.“
8 Modification to subclause 5.104, “Evaluation of protective devices and
electronic circuits”
Replace subclause and title of 5.104 by:
“5.104 Options for tests for evaluation of protective devices
5.104.1 General
The evaluation of active or passive protective devices including electronics and software depends on
the design. The functionality of the active or passive protective devices shall be designed and tested
according to option 1, option 2 or option 3.
NOTE The active or passive protective devices can be divided, and they can be found partially in the battery
pack or in the battery system. See Figure 1.
Some of the tests described in Clauses 8, 9 and 10 give the possibility to the manufacturer to select one
of the following options, that describe different ways of testing hardware and/or software, for the testing
procedure:
— option 1 (5.104.2);
— option 2 (5.104.3);
— option 3 (5.104.4);
5.104.2 Evaluation option 1
All active protective devices are bypassed unless they comply with the functional safety standard as
described in option 2. These active protective devices may also be bypassed at the demand of the
manufacturer. This condition shall be stated in the corresponding test report.
5.104.3 Evaluation option 2
All protective devices are operating.
All protective devices shall be proven to be reliable according to the EN 61508 (series) or
EN ISO 13849 (all parts) performance level c.
Compliance is given by evaluation of evidence.
5.104.4 Evaluation Option 3
Active protective devices in operation with all single faults injected and tested separately.
If protective devices which are not proven to reach performance level c according to the
EN ISO 13849 (all parts) or EN 61508 (series) are used, a design review (e.g. FMEA according to
EN IEC 60812:2018 or SAE J 1739:2009) shall be performed to identify failure modes taking in
consideration also EMC conditions according to EN 61000-6-7:2015 or EN 61326-3-1:2017. All single
faults which could influence the test result according to the design review shall be separately injected
during the tests and separately tested for each fault injection.
Each protective device shall be rendered inoperative separately (common causes) e.g.:
