This part of the IEC 62485 applies to stationary secondary batteries and battery installations
with a maximum voltage of DC 1 500 V (nominal) and describes the principal measures for
protections against hazards generated from:
– electricity,
– gas emission,
– electrolyte.
This International Standard provides requirements on safety aspects associated with the
erection, use, inspection, maintenance and disposal.
It covers lead-acid and NiCd / NiMH batteries.
Examples for the main applications are:
– telecommunications,
– power station operation,
– central emergency lighting and alarm systems,
– uninterruptible power supplies,
– stationary engine starting,
– photovoltaic systems.
