Primary batteries - Part 4: Safety of lithium batteries
IEC 60086-4:2019 is available as IEC 60086-4:2019 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition. IEC 60086-4:2019 specifies tests and requirements for primary lithium batteries to ensure their safe operation under intended use and reasonably foreseeable misuse. NOTE Primary lithium batteries that are standardized in IEC 60086-2 are expected to meet all applicable requirements herein. It is understood that consideration of this part of IEC 60086 might also be given to measuring and/or ensuring the safety of non-standardized primary lithium batteries. In either case, no claim or warranty is made that compliance or non-compliance with this standard will fulfil or not fulfil any of the user’s particular purposes or needs. This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2014. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) Revised criteria for an explosion; b) Addition of test parameters for the overdischarge test of battery types FR14505 and FR10G445; c) Addition of a new subclause 5.1 Validity of Testing; d) revised pictogram E in Table D.1; e) Addition of Annex E with requirements for child resistant packaging of coin cells; f) Addition of Annex F with recommendations on the use of the KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN safety sign. Keywords: lithium batteries The contents of the corrigendum of October 2019 have been included in this copy.

Piles électriques - Partie 4: Sécurité des piles au lithium
IEC 60086-4:2019 est disponible sous forme de IEC 60086-4:2019 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente. IEC 60086-4:2019 spécifie les essais et les exigences pour les piles électriques au lithium afin d’assurer leur fonctionnement en toute sécurité dans les conditions d’utilisation prévue et en cas de mauvais usage raisonnablement prévisible. NOTE Les piles électriques au lithium qui sont normalisées dans l'IEC 60086-2 sont prévues pour satisfaire à toutes les exigences applicables ci-dessous. Il est entendu que la présente partie de l’IEC 60086 pourrait également être prise en compte pour mesurer les piles électriques au lithium non normalisées et/ou s'assurer qu'elles sont sures. Dans les deux cas, il n’existe aucune déclaration ou garantie que la conformité ou la non-conformité à la présente norme répondra ou ne répondra pas aux objectifs ou aux besoins particuliers de l'utilisateur. Cette cinquième édition annule et remplace la quatrième édition parue en 2014 dont elle constitue une révision technique. La présente édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: a) Mise à jour des critères pour une explosion; b) Ajout de paramètres pour l'essai de décharge excessive des piles des types FR14505 et FR10G445; c) Ajout d'un nouveau paragraphe 5.1 Validité des essais; d) mise à jour du pictogramme E dans le Tableau D.1; e) Ajout de l'Annexe E avec des exigences relatives aux emballages à l'épreuve des enfants d'éléments de type bouton; f) Ajout de l'Annexe F avec des recommandations sur l'utilisation du signal de sécurité TENIR HORS DE PORTEE DES ENFANTS.

Primarne baterije - 4. del: Varnostni standard za litijeve baterije (IEC 60086-4:2019)
Ta del standarda IEC 60086 določa preskuse in zahteve za primarne litijeve baterije za zagotavljanje varnega delovanja v okviru predvidene uporabe in razumno predvidene nepravilne uporabe.
OPOMBA: Za primarne litijeve baterije, ki so standardizirane v standardu IEC 60086-2, se pričakuje izpolnjevanje vseh veljavnih
zahtev tega standarda. Jasno je, da se lahko del tega standarda IEC 60086 upošteva tudi pri merjenju in/ali zagotavljanju varnosti nestandardiziranih primarnih litijevih baterij. V nobenem primeru ne obstaja jamstvo, da bo skladnost ali neskladnost s tem standardom izpolnila ali da ne bo izpolnila namenov ali potreb posameznega uporabnika.
