Safety of primary and secondary lithium cells and batteries during transport
IEC 62281:2019 specifies test methods and requirements for primary and secondary (rechargeable) lithium cells and batteries to ensure their safety during transport other than for recycling or disposal. Requirements specified in this document do not apply in those cases where special provisions given in the relevant regulations, listed in 7.3, provide exemptions. NOTE Different standards may apply for lithium-ion traction battery systems used for electrically propelled road vehicles. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2016. This edition constitutes a technical revision.This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:a) button cell definition revised, moved to coin (cell or battery);b) addition of provisions for batteries forming an integral part of equipment (5.4);c) all tests for secondary cells and batteries now also contain a requirement for 25 charge and recharge cycles prior to the test;d) addition of alternative tables for Table 1 and Table 2 in Annex B;e) addition of "forcible" to the rupture criteria;f) test report 6.8 merged with test certificate 6.9 and replaced with the items listed in [13];g) addition of an informative Annex B with important deviations from the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Chapter 38.3.Keywords: transport of primary lithium cells and batteries

b) addition of provisions for batteries forming an integral part of equipment (5.4);
c) all tests for secondary cells and batteries now also contain a requirement for 25 charge and recharge cycles prior to the test;
d) addition of alternative tables for Table 1 and Table 2 in Annex B;
e) addition of "forcible" to the rupture criteria;
f) test report 6.8 merged with test certificate 6.9 and replaced with the items listed in [13];
g) addition of an informative Annex B with important deviations from the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Chapter 38.3.

Safety of primary and secondary lithium cells and batteries during transport
IEC 62281:2016 specifies test methods and requirements for primary and secondary (rechargeable) lithium cells and batteries to ensure their safety during transport other than for recycling or disposal. Requirements specified in this standard do not apply in those cases where special provisions given in the relevant regulations, listed in 7.3, provide exemptions. NOTE - Different standards may apply for lithium-ion traction battery systems used for electrically propelled road vehicles. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition, published in 2012, and constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - Deletion of the wire mesh screen from the evaluation of test criteria for an explosion; - Extension / modification of the shock test parameters so as to achieve constant energy behaviour for large batteries as well as explanations in a new Annex A; - Modification of the external short-circuit method so as to allow the short-circuit to be applied to large batteries after they have been removed from the temperature chamber; - Change of the cell diameter distinguishing between impact and crush test from 20 mm to 18 mm; - Addition of possible content for a transport certificate.
