Lithium-ion battery packs are subject to various international and regional standards

to ensure their safety, performance, and reliability. The following are some of the
widely recognized standards used for validating and testing lithium-ion battery packs
worldwide:
●IEC 62133: This is an international standard from the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) that covers safety requirements for portable sealed secondary
lithium cells and batteries, known as "lithium-ion batteries." It includes various tests
related to safety and performance.

UN 38.3: This is a standard issued by the United Nations for the transportation of
lithium-ion batteries. It includes tests related to safety, including those for
temperature, vibration, shock, and more.

ISO 12405: This standard specifies test procedures for lithium-ion battery pack
safety, including mechanical, electrical, environmental, and abuse tests. It is often
used in the automotive industry.

ISO 26262: This is an international standard for the functional safety of electrical and
electronic systems within road vehicles, including electric vehicles (EVs). It ensures
the safety of lithium-ion battery packs in automotive applications.

UL 1642 and UL 2054: These are standards developed by Underwriters Laboratories


for the safety of lithium batteries and household and commercial batteries,
respectively. They are widely used in the United States.

GB/T 31485-2015: This is a Chinese national standard for lithium-ion battery packs. It
includes requirements and test methods for lithium-ion battery safety and
performance.

JIS C 8714: A Japanese standard that specifies safety requirements and test
methods for lithium-ion batteries used in portable devices and other applications.

EN 62133: The European standard, which is based on the IEC 62133 standard, sets
requirements for the safety and performance of lithium-ion batteries used in Europe.
IEC 62660: This standard covers lithium-ion batteries used for propulsion of electric
road vehicles. It addresses various aspects, including mechanical, electrical, thermal,
and environmental testing.

SAE J2464: Developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), this standard
outlines testing procedures and requirements for lithium-ion battery packs in hybrid
and electric vehicles.

IEC 62619: Specifically for grid energy storage systems using lithium-ion batteries,
this standard covers safety and performance requirements.

IS 16046: The Indian standard for lithium-ion batteries, specifying requirements and
test methods for safety and performance.
IEC 63110: A standard for lithium-ion battery packs used in industrial applications, it
addresses safety and performance requirements.
It's important to note that the specific standards applied can vary depending on the
application and location. Manufacturers and organizations should consult the relevant
standards and regulations in their region and industry to ensure compliance with
safety and performance requirements when validating and testing lithium-ion battery
packs.
