EN 50604-1:2016は、軽電気自動車（Light EV）アプリケーション向けの二次リチウムバッテリーに関する欧州標準であり、特に一般的な安全要件およびテスト方法について詳述しています。この標準は、トラクションバッテリーとして使用される電動道路車両のための可搬型リチウムイオン電池パックおよびシステムに適用されます。 この標準の強みは、バッテリーシステムの安全性能を検証するための明確なテスト手順を示すことにあります。具体的には、電圧クラスAおよびBのリチウムイオンバッテリーについて、顧客と供給者の合意に基づいた専用のテストプランを設定できる柔軟性を提供しています。この点は、電動車両の安全性を確保するために不可欠であり、特に様々な軽EVに適用可能な要件を明示しています。 また、EN 50604-1:2016は、IEC/TS 61851 3シリーズで説明される製品やシステムとの相互運用性も考慮されており、広範な応用範囲を持っています。この標準は、リチウムイオンバッテリーを中心にしたテスト条件の選択肢を提供し、実際の運用に即した評価が可能です。 ただし、この標準はリチウムセル、非リチウムイオンタイプのバッテリー、一次バッテリーおよびISO 12405シリーズに該当するバッテリーには適用されないため、使用範囲が明確に限定されています。このように、EN 50604-1:2016は、軽EVにおけるリチウムイオンバッテリーの安全性と性能に関して、関連性の高い基準を提供しており、今後の技術発展に伴い益々重要になることが期待されます。
The EN 50604-1:2016 standard provides critical specifications and guidelines for secondary lithium batteries used in light electric vehicle (EV) applications. It focuses specifically on voltage class A and B removable lithium-ion battery packs and systems, ensuring that these systems meet general safety requirements and empirical test methods before being deployed as traction batteries in electrically propelled road vehicles. One key strength of this standard is its comprehensive scope that encompasses the entire testing process for safety performance, which is essential for ensuring the reliability and safety of battery systems in operational contexts. The standard meticulously outlines testing procedures tailored to the unique requirements of light EVs, which include a wide range of electrically propelled two, three, and four-wheeled vehicles, as well as plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). This specificity enhances the relevance of the standard, as it is aligned with the evolving landscape of electric mobility. Another notable strength is its flexibility in the testing approach. The EN 50604-1:2016 standard allows for the establishment of dedicated test plans based on individual agreements between customers and suppliers. This adaptability supports manufacturers in addressing particular needs or concerns related to their battery systems, leading to more customized and effective safety evaluations. Furthermore, the standard serves as a crucial link between the safety of battery systems and their intended use, reinforcing the notion that safety considerations must be integrated into the lifecycle of battery packs intended for light EV applications. It is important to note, however, that the standard explicitly excludes lithium cells, primary batteries, and other non-lithium-ion types, ensuring that its focus remains sharply on those technologies critical to current electric vehicle standards. The relevancy of EN 50604-1:2016 is further underscored by its connection to other international standards, such as the IEC/TS 61851 series, which governs the performance of electric vehicle charging systems. By adhering to EN 50604-1:2016, manufacturers can not only ensure the safety of their product but also align with broader industry requirements and standards, promoting better integration within the electric vehicle sector. In summary, the EN 50604-1:2016 standard stands out for its robust framework dedicated to enhancing the safety and reliability of lithium-ion battery systems used in light electric vehicles. Its detailed test methods and requirements, flexibility in testing approaches, and alignment with global standards make it an essential document for manufacturers committed to advancing the electric vehicle market.
표준 EN 50604-1:2016은 전기 자동차(EV) 애플리케이션을 위한 이차 리튬 배터리에 대한 일반적인 안전 요구 사항 및 시험 방법을 규정합니다. 이 문서는 전기 구동 도로 차량의 트랙션 배터리로 사용될 수 있는 전압 클래스 A 및 B의 분리 가능한 리튬이온 배터리 팩과 시스템에 대한 신뢰할 수 있는 시험 절차와 수용 가능한 안전 요구 사항을 제공합니다. 이 표준의 강점 중 하나는 배터리 팩 및 시스템의 안전 성능을 검증하는 데 필요한 포괄적인 시험 조건을 제시한다는 점입니다. 사용자가 필요에 따라 배터리 팩 및 시스템의 특정 요구 사항과 일치하는 시험 계획을 설정할 수 있도록 하여, 고객과 공급자 간의 계약에 따라 유연하게 적용할 수 있습니다. 이는 안전성을 보장하기 위한 테스트를 보다 실용적인 방식으로 접근할 수 있게 합니다. 또한, EN 50604-1:2016은 경량 전기차(Light EV)의 정의를 기반으로 한 전기 구동 이륜 및 삼륜, 사륜 차량을 포함하는 폭넓은 범위를 다룹니다. 이는 plug-in 하이브리드 도로 차량(PHEV)을 포함한 모든 전기 구동 또는 지원하는 사이클에도 적용됨으로써, 다양한 유형의 전기 구동 차량에 대한 안전 기준의 일관성을 제공합니다. 이 문서는 배터리 시스템이 IEC/TS 61851 3 시리즈에 설명된 제품이나 시스템과 함께 사용될 것으로 예상되는 모든 배터리 시스템에도 적용됩니다. 하지만, 이 표준은 리튬 셀, 리튬 이온 타입이 아닌 배터리, 일차 배터리 및 ISO 12405 시리즈에 포함된 배터리에는 적용되지 않음을 명시하고 있습니다. 결론적으로, EN 50604-1:2016 표준은 전기 자동차 애플리케이션에서의 이차 리튬 배터리에 대한 안전성과 관련된 중요한 지침을 제공하며, 실제 사용에 적합한 안전 요구 사항과 시험 절차를 명확히 하는 데 도움이 됩니다.
