There’s growing demand for battery storage, with the market estimated to be worth £8 billion to the UK and £50 billion to Europe by 2025. PAS 7062:2021 covers the manufacturing of electrodes and cells for many applications, specifically with a focus on electrically propelled vehicles, including electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and fuel cell hybrid electric vehicles. The PAS includes recommendations for the quality, safety and environmentally-conscious handling and management of materials, components and cells throughout the manufacturing processes, before being assembled into a module or pack.
This PAS gives recommendations on health and safety, fire and environmental performance, and quality management in the manufacture of battery cells – such as the lithium-ion liquid electrolyte cells – for electrically-propelled vehicles (EVs).
It establishes a common understanding and approach to EV battery cell manufacture and use. EV refers to any electrically assisted propelled vehicle, for example: plug-in hybrid, hybrid and full electric. The PAS covers:
PAS 7062:2021 provides an overview of good practice that can help industry save time and resources, and build UK knowledge to manage risk in a new manufacturing sector, ensuring the UK can continue to influence and manufacture exports to international markets. In addition, its use will help organizations:
NOTE 1: This PAS does not cover performance requirements for the individual chemicals and materials. It also does not cover the general risks associated with manufacturing processes such as slips, trips and falls, or any risks covered by the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
