IEC 60086-1 Standard Test Method for Primary Batteries

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance service within the scope of IEC 60086-1 standard. IEC 60086-1 aims to standardize primary batteries in terms of dimensions, terminology, terminal configurations, markings, test methods, typical performance, safety and environmental aspects.

This standard specifies requirements for primary cells and batteries on one side. On the other hand, this document also specifies the procedures on how to standardize the requirements for these batteries. As a classification tool for primary batteries, this document specifies system letters, electrodes, electrolytes, and the nominal and maximum open circuit voltage of electrochemical systems.

The purpose of this part of IEC 60086 is to benefit primary battery users, device designers and battery manufacturers by enabling batteries from different manufacturers to be interchanged according to standard form, fit and function.

Primary batteries are mainly sold in consumer markets. In recent years they have become more sophisticated in both chemistry and construction, for example both capacity and speed capacity have increased to meet the increasing demands from new, battery-powered equipment technology.
