Lead-acid starter batteries - Part 5: Properties of battery housings and handles

This European Standard covers multicell battery housings produced of polypropylene as the preferred material for lead-acid batteries as an energy storage device for cranking combustion engines, for lighting and for additional equipment used in road vehicles. These batteries are all referred to as starter batteries.
This European Standard describes battery housings for batteries usable within the engine compartment and for installation under conditions where they are protected from light.
Batteries of this European Standard do not provide additional features for special protection from light. Therefore, batteries with limited protection from light are to be treated as a special case.
The purpose of this European Standard is to describe the properties of battery housings for its use in combustion vehicles by means of uniform examination procedures and by defining the requirements for the raw material and the complete part.
The test procedure and requirements for the complete housing are described in the main part. Test procedures for the raw material are determined in Annex A. Annex B recommends possible test procedures for the material properties taken out of the complete housings, without being normative.

Batteries d'accumulateurs de démarrage au plomb - Partie 5: Propriétés des poignées et des bacs et couvercles de batteries

Le présent document s’applique aux parties constitutives des boîtiers et accessoires de batteries d’accumulateurs au plomb en polypropylène.
Les batteries d’accumulateurs au plomb sont principalement utilisées comme source d’énergie pour le démarrage des moteurs à combustion interne, pour l’éclairage et pour les équipements auxiliaires des véhicules routiers. Ces batteries sont toutes appelées batteries de démarrage.
Le présent document s’applique aux batteries de démarrage destinées aux voitures particulières, ainsi qu’aux véhicules commerciaux ou industriels.
Les parties constitutives des boîtiers et accessoires de batterie qui sont conformes au présent document n’assurent aucune protection du polypropylène contre le vieillissement dû à l’exposition à la lumière. Ces parties sont destinées à être utilisées dans le compartiment moteur ou dans des logements de batteries, où elles sont protégées de la lumière.
L’objet du présent document est de définir les exigences relatives aux matières premières utilisées pour fabriquer les pièces constitutives des boîtiers et accessoires des batteries de démarrage, de définir les exigences relatives aux propriétés physiques du boîtier de batterie et de définir des procédures d’essai uniformes pour la validation.
