IEC EN 60086-1 Primary Batteries - Part 1: Standard Test Method for General Requirements

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60086-1 test. IEC EN 60086-1 aims to standardize primary batteries in terms of dimensions, terminology, terminal configurations, markings, test methods, typical performance, safety and environmental considerations. This standard specifies requirements for primary cells and batteries on one side.

On the other hand, this standard also specifies the procedures on how to standardize the requirements for these batteries. As a classification tool for primary batteries, this standard specifies the system letters, electrodes, electrolytes, and nominal and maximum open circuit voltage of electrochemical systems. The purpose of this part of IEC EN 60086 is to benefit primary battery users, device designers and battery manufacturers by enabling batteries from different manufacturers to be exchanged according to standard form, fit and function.

The technical content of this part of IEC EN 60086 provides basic requirements and information about primary cells and batteries. All batteries in the IEC EN 60086 series are considered dry cells. In this sense, IEC EN 60086-1 is the main component of the IEC EN 60086 series and forms the basis for the next chapters. For example, this section contains basic information about definitions, terminology, dimensions and markings. While including specific requirements, the content of this section tends to explain the methodology (how) and justification (why).

Over the years, this section has been modified to improve its content and remains under constant scrutiny to ensure that the post stays up to date with developments in both battery and battery-powered device technologies.

Their physical shape must be designed so that the batteries always make and maintain good electrical contact. It should be made of materials that provide good electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion.

These contacts consist of a combination of a stud (non-flexible) for the positive terminal and a socket (flexible) for the negative terminal. They shall be made of suitable metal to provide efficient electrical connection when joined to corresponding parts of an external circuit.
