IEC 62619 pdf download.SECONDARY CELLS AND BATTERIES CONTAINING ALKALINE OR OTHER NON-ACID ELECTROLYTES – SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR SECONDARY LITHIUM CELLS AND BATTERIES, FOR USE IN INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements and tests for the safe operation of secondary lithium cells and batteries used in industrial applications including stationary applications. When there exists an IEC standard specifying test conditions and requirements for cells used in special applications and which is in conflict with this document, the former takes precedence (e.g., IEC 62660 series on road vehicles). The following are some examples of applications that utilize cells and batteries under the scope of this document. • Stationary applications: telecom, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), electrical energy storage system, utility switching, emergency power, and similar applications. • Motive applications: forklift truck, golf cart, auto guided vehicle (AGV), railway, and marine, excluding road vehicles. Since this document covers batteries for various industrial applications, it includes those requirements, which are common and minimum to the various applications. Electrical safety is included only as a part of the risk analysis of Clause 8. In regard to details for addressing electrical safety, the end use application standard requirements have to be considered. This document applies to cells and batteries. If the battery is divided into smaller units, the smaller unit can be tested as the representative of the battery. The manufacturer clearly declares the tested unit. The manufacturer may add functions, which are present in the final battery to the tested unit.
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO/IEC Guide 51 , and the following apply. ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses: • IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/ • ISO Online browsing platform: available at http://www.iso.org/obp 3.1 safety freedom from unacceptable risk 3.2 risk a combination of the probability of occurrence of harm and the severity of that harm 3.3 harm physical injury or damage to the health of people or damage to property or to the environment 3.4 hazard potential source of harm 3.5 intended use use of a product, process or service in accordance with specifications, instructions and information provided by the supplier 3.6 reasonably foreseeable misuse use of a product, process or service in a way which is not intended by the supplier, but which may result from readily predictable human behaviour 3.7 secondary lithium cell cell secondary cell where electrical energy is derived from the insertion/extraction reactions of lithium ions or oxidation/reduction reaction of lithium between the negative electrode and the positive electrode Note 1 to entry: The cell typically has an electrolyte that consists of a lithium salt and organic solvent compound in liquid, gel or solid form and has a metal or a laminate film casing. It is not ready for use in an application because it is not yet fitted with its final housing, terminal arrangement and electronic control device. 3.8 cell block group of cells connected together in parallel configuration with or without protective devices (e.g. fuse or PTC) and monitoring circuitry Note 1 to entry: It is not ready for use in an application because it is not yet fitted with its final housing, terminal arrangement and electronic control device.3.9 module group of cells connected together either in a series and/or parallel configuration with or without protective devices (e.g. fuse or PTC) and monitoring circuitry 3.1 0 battery pack energy storage device, which is comprised of one or more cells or modules electrically connected Note 1 to entry: It has a monitoring circuitry which provides information (e.g. cell voltage) to a battery system. Note 2 to entry: It may incorporate a protective housing and be provided with terminals or other interconnection arrangement. 3.1 1 battery system battery system which comprises one or more cells, modules or battery packs Note 1 to entry: It has a battery management system to cut off in case of overcharge, overcurrent, overdischarge, and overheating. Note 2 to entry: Overdischarge cut off is not mandatory if there is an agreement between the cell manufacturer and the customer Note 3 to entry: The battery system may have cooling or heating units. 3.1 2 battery management system BMS electronic system associated with a battery which has functions to cut off in case of overcharge, overcurrent, overdischarge, and overheating Note 1 to entry: It monitors and/or manages its state, calculates secondary data, reports that data and/or controls its environment to influence the battery’s safety, performance and/or service life. Note 2 to entry: Overdischarge cut off is not mandatory if there is an agreement between the cell manufacturer and the customer.
