Testing, reliability & durability
IEC 61982-3:2001
This part of IEC 61982 is applicable to performance and life testing of electrical energy storage systems for general purpose, traffic compatible, light urban use electric road vehicles that are designed for transportation of passengers or goods in city centre driving. For the purposes of this standard, the electrical energy storage system is defined as one that is recharged electrically though some of the test procedures may be applicable to fuel cells and other "mechanically" rechargeable systems.
IEC TR 62914:2014
IEC TR 62914:2014 identifies experimental procedures for the forced internal short-circuit tests in terms of designation, dimensions, tests and requirements. This technical report provides supplemental information to perform the forced internal short-circuit test of IEC 62133:2012 (Subclause 8.3.9).
IEC 63056 ED1
Secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes - Safety requirements for secondary lithium cells and batteries for use in electrical energy storage systems
IEC 63115-1 ED1
Secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes - Sealed nickel-metal hydride rechargeable cells and modules for use in industrial applications
ANSI C18.2M Pt 2-2014
ANSI C18.3M Part 2-2017
Specifies tests and requirements for primary cells and batteries, including lithium carbon monofluoride, lithium manganese dioxide and lithium iron disulfide, to ensure their safe operation under normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse.
CAN/CSA-E61959:14
This International standard specifies tests and requirements for verifying the mechanical behaviour of sealed portable secondary cells and batteries during handling and normal use. Relevant national and International standards have been taken into consideration.
