BS EN 62620:2015

BS EN 62620:2015 specifies marking, tests and requirements for lithium secondary 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 standard, the former takes precedence. (e.g. IEC 62660 series on road vehicles).

The following are some examples of applications that utilize the cells and batteries under the scope of this standard.

• Stationary applications: telecom, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), electrical energy storage system, utility switching, emergency power and similar applications.
• Motive applications: fork-lift truck, golf cart, AGV, railway, and marine, excluding road vehicles.

Since this standard covers batteries for various industrial applications, it includes those requirements, which are common and minimum to the various applications.

This standard 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.
