The ISO 9000 family addresses various aspects of quality management and contains some of ISO’s best known standards. The standards provide guidance and tools for companies and organizations who want to ensure that their products and services consistently meet customer’s requirements, and that quality is consistently improved.

Specifies test methods and requirements for primary and secondary (rechargeable) lithium cells and batteries to ensure their safety during transport other than for recycling or disposal. Requirements specified in this standard do not apply in those cases where special provisions given in the relevant regulations, listed in 7.3, provide exemptions. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2004, and constitutes a technical revision.

The document presents the procedures to be followed for the classification of lithium metal and lithium ion cells and batteries (see UN Nos. 3090, 3091, 3480 and 3481, and the applicable special provisions of Chapter 3.3 of the Model Regulations). 38.3.2 Scope 38.3.2.1 All cell types shall be subjected to tests T.1 to T.6 and T.8. All non-rechargeable battery types, including those composed of previously tested cells, shall be subjected to tests T.1 to T.5. All rechargeable battery types, including those composed of previously tested cells, shall be subjected to tests T.1 to T.5 and T.7.

The document presents general requirements that Telcordia and participating industry representatives view as applicable to large format non-aqueous rechargeable lithium batteries to replace or interoperate with conventional batteries (i.e., Lead-Acid, nickel-based); function seamlessly with DC power plants; and provide reliable backup power to load equipment in a network environment of a typical telecommunications service provider.

IEC/TR 62540:2009(E) applies to all stationary lead-acid cells and monobloc batteries for float charge applications (i.e. permanently connected to a load and to a d.c. power supply), in a static location (i.e. not generally intended to be moved from place to place) and incorporated into stationary equipment or installed in battery rooms for use in telecom, uninterruptible power supply (UPS), utility switching, emergency power or similar applications. These batteries are covered by IEC 60896-11, IEC 60896-21 and IEC 60896-22.
