What is BS EN IEC 62984‑2 about ?
BS EN IEC 62984‑2 is the second part of a multi-series standard. It provides technical specifications safety requirements for high-temperature batteries which ensures safety of batteries in high-temperature environments. BS EN IEC 62984‑2 specifies safety requirements and test procedures for high-temperature batteries for mobile and/or stationary use and whose rated voltage does not exceed 1500 V.
High temperature batteries in BS EN IEC 62984‑2 are electrochemical systems whose cells internal minimum operating temperature is above 100 °C.
Note: BS EN IEC 62984‑2 does not apply to -
- Aircraft batteries
- Batteries for propulsion of electric road vehicles
Who is BS EN IEC 62984‑2 for ?
BS EN IEC 62984‑2 on safety requirements for high-temperature batteries is applicable to:
- Manufacturers of batteries
- Dealers and importers of batteries
- Testing houses and laboratories for batteries
Why should you use BS EN IEC 62984‑2 ?
In high-temperature secondary batteries, cells are kept at high temperature and enclosed within a thermal insulated enclosure. High-temperature secondary batteries have a variety of applications in extreme conditions such as drilling, logging, geothermal, oil and gas applications.
BS EN IEC 62984‑2 provides you guidance on functional safety requirements, mechanical requirements, protection against electrical shock, resistance to abnormal conditions which allows you to enhance the safety and protection of high temperature batteries.
BS EN IEC 62984‑2 provides you guidance on environmental condition, safety requirements, safety tests, markings, rules for transportation, installation and maintenance for high temperature batteries which allows you to ensure longer life cycles, safety and efficiency of batteries.
Implementation of BS EN IEC 62984‑2 ensures the operational safety, efficiency and integrity of high temperature secondary batteries.
