Primary batteries - Part 3: Watch batteries
IEC 60086-3:2011(E) specifies dimensions, designation, methods of tests and requirements for primary batteries for watches. In several cases, a menu of test methods is given. When presenting battery electrical characteristics and/or performance data, the manufacturer specifies which test method was used. The major technical changes with respect to the previous edition are the drawings, a review of the table of electrochemical systems and a harmonization of the marking clause with the other standards of the IEC 60086 series. Moreover, the table of the leakage levels was extended by adding drawings with better visualization. This publication is published as a double logo standard.

Piles électriques - Partie 3: Piles pour montres
L'IEC 60086-3:2011 spécifie les dimensions, la désignation, les méthodes d'essais et les exigences pour les piles électriques pour montres. Dans plusieurs cas, il est proposé des options pour les méthodes d'essai. Lorsque le fabricant présente les caractéristiques électriques et/ou les performances de la pile, il précise la méthode d'essai utilisée. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition (2004) et constitue une révision technique. Les principales modifications techniques par rapport à l'édition précédente sont les dessins, une révision du tableau des systèmes électrochimiques et une harmonisation de l'article relatif au marquage avec les autres normes de la série CEI 60086. De plus, le tableau concernant les niveaux de fuite a été enrichi par l'ajout de dessins avec une meilleure visualisation. La présente publication est une norme double logo. Le contenu du corrigendum de Septembre 2011 ont été inclus dans cette copie. La présente version bilingue (2014-01) correspond à la version anglaise monolingue publiée en 2011-01.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60086-3 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 35:
Primary cells and batteries, and ISO technical committee 114: Horology.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (2004) and constitutes a technical
revision.
The major technical changes with respect to the previous edition are the drawings, a review of
the table of electrochemical systems and a harmonization of the marking clause with the other
standards of the IEC 60086 series. Moreover, the table of the leakage levels was extended by
adding drawings with better visualization.
This publication is published as a double logo standard.

The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
35/1286/FDIS 35/1289/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table. In ISO, the standard has been approved by 8 P members out of
8 having cast a vote.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts in the IEC 60086 series, under the general title: Primary batteries, can be
found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed;
• withdrawn;
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date.

INTRODUCTION
The technical content of this part of IEC 60086 provides specific requirements and information
for primary watch batteries. This part was prepared through joint work between IEC TC 35
and ISO TC 114 to benefit primary battery users, watch designers and battery manufacturers
by ensuring the best compatibility between batteries and watches.
This part will remain under continual scrutiny to ensure that the publication is kept up to date
with the advances in both battery and watch technologies.
NOTE Safety information can be found in IEC 60086-4 and IEC 60086-5.
