General Information
Frequently Asked Questions
ICS 29.220.01 is a classification code in the International Classification for Standards (ICS) system. It covers "Galvanic cells and batteries in general". The ICS is a hierarchical classification system used to organize international, regional, and national standards, facilitating the search and identification of standards across different fields.
There are 14 standards classified under ICS 29.220.01 (Galvanic cells and batteries in general). These standards are published by international and regional standardization bodies including ISO, IEC, CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI.
The International Classification for Standards (ICS) is a hierarchical classification system maintained by ISO to organize standards and related documents. It uses a three-level structure with field (2 digits), group (3 digits), and sub-group (2 digits) codes. The ICS helps users find standards by subject area and enables statistical analysis of standards development activities.

This standard gives guidance on writing the technical specification for the procurement of stationary batteries and chargers for use in electricity generating stations (power stations). This Guide for procurement is not applicable to equipment for use in the nuclear reactor plant area of nuclear power stations. Other possible applications of such equipment have not been considered in the preparation of this Guide. This Guide covers stationary lead-acid and nickel-cadmium batteries, chargers, battery accommodation battery main connections and battery accessories. This equipment usually forms part of either a centralised or unit d.c. supplies system for duties such as switchgear closing/tripping, protection, control, alarm, instrumentation and telecommunication supplies, emergency lighting and emergency drives. The equipment covered by this Guide is defined by its function rather than design type. Therefore, the guidance to the specification is stated in performance terms rather than being specified by a detailed description of the equipment to be supplied. This Guide indicates to potential purchasers how their specification should be prepared so that: - the equipment type and capacity interfaces correctly with other elements of the systems; - predicted performance is achieved; - ancillary equipment is properly sized; - reliability, availability and safety requirements are achieved; - proper consideration is given to the evaluation process and the quality measures to be applied. This Guide does not determine the type of specification (e.g. detailed, performance, functional) or the extent of supply for any given contract which is normally decided on the basis of the purchaser’s project strategy. It does not cover:
- any commercial, contractual or legal issues which are normally in separate parts of an enquiry;
- any allocation of responsibilities which are determined by the contract.
This Guide does not prescribe the arrangement of the documents in the enquiry.

IEC 63338:2024 applies to the reuse and repurposing of secondary lithium ion and nickel-metal hydride cells and batteries after extraction from the application for which they were first placed on the market (hereafter "relevant cells and batteries").
This document does not permit reuse or repurposing of single cells or cell assemblies if battery lifetime traceability data are not recorded. See Clause 4. Swappable batteries such as those used in e-scooters are removed and installed by the user (such as for charging) without conducting a safety assessment (such as battery lifetime traceability data assessment) as part of intended use, which is not considered reuse or repurposing. This document does not cover system component reuse and repurposing. The original manufacturer can be contacted to confirm suitability of components for reuse and repurposing.
The primary purpose of this document is to provide basic guidance on the environmental aspects of reuse and repurposing of relevant cells and batteries; basic guidance on safety risks for the reuse and repurposing of relevant cells and batteries; basic guidance on original manufacturer warning notice on the applicability of a product for reuse or repurposing; and useful information regarding reuse and repurposing and relevant cell and battery regulations and standards to interested parties.

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
Nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) cells/batteries can exhibit high self-discharge rates. Nitrate impurities in the positive electrode can be reduced to ammonia on the negative electrode. This causes rapid self-discharge. Technical publications have reported a link between the separator ammonia trapping capabilities and the cells charge retention. Grafted polyolefin separators can absorb or trap these impurities—hence, reducing self-discharge rates. The level of ammonia trapping from this method gives an indication of the efficiency of a separator to trap these contaminates, thus helping a battery self discharge ( charge retention). A higher value should allow a cell to have greater charge retention.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the ability of a material to capture ammonia.
1.2 This test method is intended primarily for testing grafted polyolefin materials used as a battery separator, although other materials could be tested.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
This test method covers the measurement of the ability of a material to capture ammonia.
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee D09 on Electrical and Electronic Insulating Materials , this test method was withdrawn in April 2015. This standard is being withdrawn without replacement due to its lack of an established Precision and Bias statement, which was required to be provided on or before 2012.

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
Nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) cells/batteries have a tendency to exhibit high rates of self-discharge that may be caused by contamination within a battery cell. The contamination source has been shown to originate from electrode impurities. Grafted separators can trap and hold these impurities, thus reducing self-discharge rates and enhancing battery quality. This test method determines an ionic exchange capacity that can be used to quantify the level of grafting of a separator.
This method is useful for research, quality control, and material specifications.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method evaluates an important characteristic of polyolefin or other fibrous nonwoven sheet material intended for use in alkaline battery separator applications. The hydrophilic properties of the material are enhanced by grafting a functional group onto the polyolefin, and this test method is the primary test method to determine the treatment level, that is, level of monomer grafted to the base polymer. This test method can also be used for film or membranes
1.2 This test method is intended primarily for testing copolymer-grafted polyolefin materials used as battery separators, but could be used for any grafted material. These separators have radiation-initiated grafting of acrylic acid monomer (for example) onto a polyolefin base-web material to generate hydrophilic sites on the material. This process is a method for surface modification of polymer materials, and is used to make separators hydrophilic. Grafting can be accomplished by irradiation on common polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene and fluoropolymers with various forms of energy, such as UV, gamma rays, electron beams (EB) or X-rays..
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
This test method evaluates an important characteristic of polyolefin or other fibrous nonwoven sheet material intended for use in alkaline battery separator applications.
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee D09 on Electrical and Electronic Insulating Materials , this test method was withdrawn in March 2015. This standard is being withdrawn without replacement due to its lack of an established Precision and Bias statement, which was required to be provided on or before 2012.
