41、values, relative to the specified or actual parameters, shall be within these tolerances. a) 1 % for voltage; b) 1 % for current; c) 2 C for temperature; d) 0,1 % for time; e) 1 % for dimension; f) 1 % for capacity. These tolerances comprise the combined accuracy of the measuring instruments, the me
42、asurement techniques used, and all other sources of error in the test procedure. For assistance in selecting instrumentation see IEC 60051 for analogue instruments and IEC 60485 for digital instruments. The details of the instrumentation used shall be provided in any report of results. 2 General saf
43、ety considerations The safety of secondary cells and batteries requires the consideration of two sets of applied conditions: a) intended use; b) reasonably foreseeable misuse. Cells and batteries shall be so designed and constructed that they are safe under conditions of both intended use and reason
44、ably foreseeable misuse. It is expected that cells or batteries subjected to misuse may fail to function following such experience. They shall not however present significant hazards. It may also be expected that cells and batteries subjected to intended use shall not only be safe but shall continue
45、 to be functional in all respects. Page6 EN62133:2003 Potential hazards which are the subject of this standard are: a) fire, b) burst/explosion, c) leakage of cell electrolyte, d) venting, e) burns from excessively high external temperatures, f) rupture of battery case with exposure of internal comp
46、onents. Conformity with 2.1 to 2.6 is checked by inspection, by the tests of clause 4, and in accordance with the appropriate standard (see 1.2). 2.1 Insulation and wiring The insulation resistance between the positive terminal and externally exposed metal surfaces of the battery excluding electrica
47、l contact surfaces shall be not less than 5 M at 500 V d.c. Internal wiring and its insulation shall be sufficient to withstand the maximum anticipated current, voltage and temperature requirements. The orientation of wiring shall be such that adequate clearances and creepage distances are maintaine
48、d between connectors. The mechanical integrity of internal connections shall be sufficient to accommodate conditions of reasonably foreseeable misuse. 2.2 Venting Battery cases and cells shall incorporate a pressure relief mechanism or shall be so constructed that they will relieve excessive interna
49、l pressure at a value and rate that will preclude rupture, explosion and self-ignition. If encapsulation is used to support cells within an outer case, the type of encapsulant and the method of encapsulation shall neither cause the battery to overheat during normal operation nor inhibit pressure relief. 2.3 Temperature/current management The design of batteries shall be such that abnormal temperature-rise condit
