| Theme | Revised of applicable scope to implement timetable for safety standard IEC/EN62133 of batteries used in the devices and appliances |
| Reference standards | IEC/EN 62133, EN 60745 Series |
| Question | What is Revised applicable scope to implement timetable for safety standard IEC/EN62133 of batteries (Containing alkaline and other non-acid electrolytes) used in the devices and appliances? |
| Conclusion |
The IEC / EN 62133 standard must be used for all types within the scope of the standard that includes cells and batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes (NiCd, NiMH, Li, ...). It is therefore required within the GS safety test of a battery-powered device to prove the requirements of IEC / EN 62133 for all cells and also for the entire battery pack. Details of the old EK9-BE-77 resolution (May 2011) According to EK9-BE-77 decision on May,2011, theNiCd,NiMH, lithium-ion cells and batteries used in the Machines, Handheld tools, Garden tools(EN 60745 series) should be complied with standard IEC/EN 62133.For implement table as follows: |
