Scope:

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. 

This Standard provides test objectives, methods of tests and acceptance criteria relevant to sealed portable secondary cells and batteries of different electrochemical systems (Ni-Cd, Ni-MH and Lithium) sizes and shapes (cylindrical, prismatic and button).

Project need:

To review the Standard within the required 5 year period.
