| Title | Safety of primary and secondary lithium cells and batteries during transport |
| Project Number | 23929 |
| Abstract/Scope | IEC 62281:2012(E) 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. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - distinction between small and large cell or battery by gross mass rather than by lithium content or Watt-hour rating ('nominal' energy); - combination of the no mass loss (NM) and no leakage (NL) criteria into one criteria (NL); - extension of an acceptable mass loss of 0,2 % from 5 g to 75 g mass of a cell or battery; - reduction of large batteries to be tested under tests T 1 to T 5 and T 8 from 4 to 2 samples; - reduction of test samples required for small battery assemblies (5.2.2); - reduction of the vibration amplitude to 2 g for large batteries in T-3 vibration test method; - replacement of the impact test by the crush test for prismatic, pouch, button, and coin cells as well as cylindrical cells with no more than 20 mm in diameter. Keywords: safety during transportation, primary and secondary (rechargeable) lithium cells and batteries |

(1) Date of ratification (dor) date when the Technical Board notes the approval of an EN (and HD for CENELEC), from which time the standard may be said to be approved
(2) Date of availability (dav) date when the definitive text in the official language versions of an approved CEN/CENELEC publication is distributed by the Central Secretariat
(3) Date of announcement (doa) latest date by which the existence of an EN (and HD for CENELEC), a TS or a CWA has to be announced at national level
(4) Date of publication (dop) latest date by which an EN has to be implemented at national level by publication of an identical national standard or by endorsement
(5) Date of withdrawal (dow) latest date by which national standards conflicting with an EN (and HD for CENELEC) have to be withdrawn
(6) This list of normative references is purely indicative. The only official list of normative reference is the list of the published standard.
