Safety of primary and secondary lithium cells and batteries during transport
| Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
| BSI | 2017 | 34 |
This International Standard 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.
NOTE
Different standards may apply for lithium-ion traction battery systems used for electrically propelled road vehicles.
