IEC 62281 Standard Test for the Safety of Primary and Secondary Lithium Cells and Batteries During Transport

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of the IEC 62281 standard. IEC 62281 specifies test methods and requirements for primary and secondary (rechargeable) lithium batteries and batteries to ensure their safety during transport other than recycling or destruction.

This International standard applies to primary and secondary (rechargeable) lithium batteries and batteries containing lithium in any chemical form: lithium metal, lithium alloy or lithium ion. Lithium-metal and lithium alloy primary electrochemical systems use metallic lithium and lithium alloy as the negative electrode, respectively. Lithium-ion secondary electrochemical systems use intercalating compounds (intercalated lithium exists in ionic or quasi-atomic form within the lattice of electrode material) at positive and negative electrodes.

This International standard also applies to lithium polymer batteries and batteries, which are considered primary lithium metal cells and batteries or secondary lithium ion batteries and batteries, depending on the nature of the material used in the negative electrode.

This International standard specifically addresses the safety of primary and secondary lithium batteries and batteries during transport, as well as the safety of the packaging used.
