European foreword
This document (prEN 18060:2024) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 301 “Road
vehicles”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document has been prepared under a standardization request addressed to CEN by the European
Commission. The Standing Committee of the EFTA States subsequently approves these requests for its
Member States.
For the relationship with EU Legislation, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this
document.
Introduction
European Commission published the standardization request M/579 to the European standardization
organisations as regards to performance and sustainability requirements for batteries.
Battery systems are an efficient energy storage system for electrically propelled vehicles. The
performance requirements for electric road vehicles battery systems are significantly different from
those batteries used for consumer electronics or stationary energy storage. The state of charge window
that is accessible for the vehicle application is defined by durability and safety requirements.
This document provides specific performance test procedures for EV battery systems, battery packs and
battery modules.
It enables vehicle manufacturers to choose test procedures to evaluate the characteristics of EV battery
systems, battery packs and battery modules for their specific requirements.
This document specifies test procedures for alkali-Ion (Li-Ion, Na-Ion), Pb, NiMH and combined
chemistries for EV battery systems, battery packs and battery modules to obtain performance values for
rated capacity, rated power, internal resistance, and energy round trip efficiency.
NOTE EV cells performance standard is under drafting in CLC/TC21X/WG 7.
1 Scope
This document describes the performance test procedures and calculation methods for alkali-ion (for
example Li-ion, Na-ion), Pb, NiMH and combined chemistries EV battery systems, battery packs and
battery modules. This document considers the most appropriate metric based on application for
electrical performance between different models/products on the market. It specifies performance test
procedures and calculation methods to obtain performance values for:
• rated capacity (in Ah);
• power (in W);
• internal resistance (in ꭥ);
• energy round trip efficiency (in %);
• expected lifetime (number of reference cycles).
The tests in this document are relevant for EV battery systems, battery packs and battery modules
intended for the following applications:
• motor vehicles, including M, N and O categories referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2018/858
of the European Parliament and of the Council with traction battery;
• L-category vehicles referred to in Article 2 of Regulation EU 168/2013 of the European Parliament
and of the Council with traction battery of more than 25kg.
NOTE 1 Other chemistry can be included in the scope of this document.
NOTE 2 These procedures could be used for type testing of a model/product at begin of life (status ‘original’)
and for individual battery testing after change of status (status ‘reused’ and ‘remanufactured’).
These tests for parameters above are performed at component level outside the vehicle.
