BS EN IEC 62902:2019

What is BS EN IEC 62902–Marking symbols for secondary batteries about?  

BS EN IEC 62902 is an international standard that discusses the specification for secondary cells and batteries. 

BS EN IEC 62902 specifies methods for the clear identification of secondary cells, batteries, battery modules, and monoblocs according to their chemistry (electrochemical storage technology). 

The markings described in BS EN IEC 62902 are applicable for secondary cells, batteries, battery modules and monoblocs with a volume of more than 900 cubic cm. 

Who is BS EN IEC 62902 –Marking symbols for secondary batteries for?  

BS EN IEC 62902 on marking symbols for secondary batteries is useful for: 

• Manufacturers of secondary cells and batteries like nickel-cadmium (NiCd), lead-acid, and lithium-ion batteries 
• Suppliers, importers, and dealers of secondary cells and batteries like nickel-cadmium (NiCd), lead-acid, and lithium-ion batteries 
• Service/ maintenance providers for secondary cells and batteries like nickel-cadmium (NiCd), lead-acid, and lithium-ion batteries 

Why should you use BS EN IEC 62902–Marking symbols for secondary batteries?  

Many recycling processes are chemistry-specific, thus undesired events can occur when a battery does not consist of appropriate chemistry, enters a given recycling process.  

BS EN IEC 62902 defines the marking symbols, conditions of utilization of the markings, and application of markings, that help you for indicating the chemistry of the secondary batteries and cells. It gives you elaborated information about the marking symbols of secondary batteries and their chemistry, which proves very useful for you to understand the installation, operation, and decommissioning phases of battery life. 

BS EN IEC 62902 on secondary cells and battery markings helps the battery manufacturers, suppliers, and dealers to identify its chemistry, in order to ensure safe handling while sorting and recycling processes of the marked batteries.
