50 ____________
52 General requirements for repurposing of secondary batteries
55 FOREWORD
56 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
57 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
58 international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
59 this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
60 Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
61 Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
62 in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non -
63 governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
64 with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
65 agreement between the two organizations.
66 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
67 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
68 interested IEC National Committees.
69 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
70 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
71 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
72 misinterpretation by any end user.
73 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
74 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
75 between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
76 the latter.
77 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
78 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
79 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
80 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
81 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
82 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
83 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
84 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
85 Publications.
86 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
87 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
88 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
89 patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

91 Secondary cells and batteries.
92 The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:

105 INTRODUCTION
106 Increasing concerns about the global warming, air quality and energy saving have been
107 encouraging the utilization of rechargeable energy storage systems for different applications
108 such as electric mobility. In parallel, technical advance in secondary batteries, especially in
109 lithium-ion batteries, provides the market with practical option to repurpose the used batteries
110 and battery systems that may maintain substantial performance even after the end of use of
111 original equipment such as electric vehicle.
112 In order to foster such new business and to accelerate effective and safe utilization of energy
113 source, it is indispensable to establish a basic international standard for evaluation of safety
114 and performance of used batteries and battery systems, which derive from different
115 equipment with different histories, and will be repurposed for different applications.
116 This document intends to provide basic requirements and procedure how to evaluate the
117 performance and safety of used batteries and battery systems, and also provide general
118 requirements for application of repurposed batteries.

302 4.3 Removal of used PRODUCT and external damage check
303 Used PRODUCT shall be removed from the original equipment as instructed in a dismantle or
304 disassembly manual issued by the original equipment manufacturer. If such instructions are
305 not available, relevant local rules or standards shall be applied with special caution for high
306 voltage hazards. The removal of battery systems may result in harm if adequate precautions
307 are not taken. The removal should only be performed by qualified and experienced persons
308 using adequate protection.
309 For PRODUCT from an electric vehicle application, it is recommended to obtain the data on
310 usage and failure before removal from the vehicle using e.g. vehicle diagnostic device.
311 After removal from original equipment, the PRODUCT shall be checked externally as follows:
312 – Make sure there is no leakage of electrolyte by visual confirmation or by using an odor
313 sensor. If fluid leakage is detected in liquid cooled battery pack, the PRODUCT shall be
314 identified as damaged unless coolant leakage or water ingress.
315 Used PRODUCT with external damage, e.g. severe deformation, crack or blemish in the outer
316 case of the PRODUCT, shall not be repurposed, and are recommended to be recycled or
317 disposed according to relevant laws or regulations.
318 Used PRODUCT without external damage shall be assessed for feasibility of repurposing
319 according to Clause 5.
320 If available and not damaged, the module and BMS of battery packs and systems may be
321 reused even if the battery pack/system has a damaged outer case. Degree of damage and, if
322 possible, cause of damage of outer case shall be recorded.
