DANSK DSF/PREN 62485-6 PDF

This part of the IEC 62485 applies to battery installation used for electric off-road vehicles and does not cover the design of such vehicles. Examples for the main applications are: industrial - cleaning machines - trucks for material handling e.g. lift trucks, tow trucks, automatic guided vehicles - lifting platforms electrically propulsed other applications - electric powered boats and ships. This International Standard covers the safety aspects of battery installation in such applications. This standard does not cover railway vehicles, for traction railway application see IEC 62928. This standard does not cover the batteries and battery installations for the propulsion of electric road vehicles. This standard does not cover electric road vehicles according to IEC 62660 series. In the event of there being a variation of requirements between this document and a relevant product standard (e.g. goods vehicles, bicycles, wheel chairs, golf carts, etc.), then the product standard requirements take precedence. Lithium ion cells/batteries used in traction industrial application are intended to fulfill safety requirements in accordance to IEC 62619. The maximum voltages are limited to a.c. 1 000 V and d.c. 1 500 V respectively and the principal measures for protection against hazards generally from electricity, gas emission and electrolyte to prevent fire and explosion are described. This standard provides requirements on safety aspects associated with the installation, use, inspection, maintenance and disposal of batteries. Batteries containing Lithium Metal are not covered by this standard.
