In recent years, with the increasingly vigorous development of lithium batteries in the EU market, an important global market, whether it is electric vehicles, grid energy storage systems and commercial markets such as aviation, consumer electronics, power tools, or the defense market, the importance of lithium batteries continues to grow.
In the next ten years, the global battery market is expected to grow by 5 to 10 times, and the battle for the lithium battery market is bound to become more intense.
EU standards are the most recognized standards in the global market, and other markets such as Asia, Africa, Australia and South America have also introduced EU standards.
In order to ensure the smooth entry of your lithium battery and its related products into the EU market and other markets, BACL battery technical experts have compiled and summarized the common safety standards for lithium batteries in the EU market as follows:
Lithium battery common standards and applicable product range
1. IEC62133-2:
Rechargeable lithium-ion cells (Cell) and battery safety standards (Battery) for rechargeable lithium-ion cells and battery packs.
2. IEC61960:
Lithium battery performance standards, applicable to rechargeable lithium cells (batteries) and non-rechargeable lithium cells (batteries). Evaluate the room temperature, high and low-temperature discharge capacity performance of lithium batteries.
3. IEC60086-4:
Disposable lithium battery safety standard, applicable to non-rechargeable lithium cells and lithium batteries.
4. IEC62281:
Safety standards for the transport of rechargeable lithium cells (batteries) and non-rechargeable lithium cells (batteries).
5. IEC62368-1:
Applicable to IT/AV product standards, it can also be used to evaluate mobile power (charging treasure) products.
6. EN50604-1:
It is applicable to the safety technical requirements for lithium batteries used in light electric vehicles (LEV). The standard puts forward specific test items and requirements for lithium batteries used in LEV, which provide the basis for such lithium batteries to enter the EU market.
7. IEC60335-2-114:
Applicable to the safety technical requirements of lithium batteries for electric self-balancing vehicles (including self-balancing vehicles and twisting vehicles).
8. IEC62619:
Safety standards for energy storage battery systems. The standards mainly cover various types of energy storage batteries used for photovoltaics, wind energy, backup power supplies, and communication base stations.
9. IEC62620:
Performance standards for energy storage battery systems, the standards mainly cover various types of energy storage batteries used for photovoltaics, wind energy, backup power, and communication base stations.
10. IEC62660-1:
The standard for performance requirements of secondary lithium-ion cells for electric vehicles (BEV, HEV).
11. IEC62660-2 & IEC62660-3:
Reliability and abuse testing of secondary lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles (BEV, HEV), safety technical requirements standards.
