30、ople and property. This standard specifies tests and requirements for lithium batteries and has been prepared in accordance with ISO/IEC guidelines, taking into account all relevant national and international standards which apply. Lithium batteries are different from conventional primary batteries
31、using aqueous electrolyte in that they contain flammable materials. Consequently, it is important to carefully consider safety during design, production, distribution, use, and disposal of lithium batteries. Based on such special characteristics, lithium batteries for consumer applications were init
32、ially small in size and had low power output. There were also lithium batteries with high power output which were used for special industrial and military applications and were characterized as being “technician replaceable”. The first edition of this standard was drafted to accommodate this situati
33、on. However, from around the end of the 1980s, lithium batteries with high power output started to be widely used in the consumer replacement market, mainly as a power source in camera applications. Since the demand for such lithium batteries with high power output significantly increased, various m
34、anufacturers started to produce these types of lithium batteries. As a consequence of this situation, the safety aspects for lithium batteries with high power output were included in the second edition of this standard. Primary lithium batteries both for consumer and industrial applications are well
35、-established safe and reliable products in the market, which is at least partly due to the existence of safety standards such as this standard and, for transport, IEC 62281. The fourth edition of this standard therefore reflects only minor changes which became necessary in order to keep it harmonize
36、d with IEC 62281 and to continuously improve the user information about safety related matters. Guidelines addressing safety issues during the design of lithium batteries are provided in Annex A. Annex B provides guidelines addressing safety issues during the design of equipment where lithium batter
37、ies are installed. Both Annex A and B reflect experience with lithium batteries used in camera applications and are based on 20. Safety is freedom from unacceptable risk. There can be no absolute safety: some risk will remain. Therefore a product, process or service can only be relatively safe. Safe
38、ty is achieved by reducing risk to a tolerable level determined by the search for an optimal balance between the ideal of absolute safety and the demands to be met by a product, process or service, and factors such as benefit to the user, suitability for purpose, cost effectiveness, and conventions
39、of the society concerned. As safety will pose different problems, it is impossible to provide a set of precise provisions and recommendations that will apply in every case. However, this standard, when followed on a judicious “use when applicable” basis, will provide reasonably consistent standards
40、for safety. BS EN 60086-4:2015 8 IEC 60086-4:2014 IEC 2014 PRIMARY BATTERIES Part 4: Safety of lithium batteries 1 Scope This Part of IEC 60086 specifies tests and requirements for primary lithium batteries to ensure their safe operation under intended use and reasonably foreseeable misuse. NOTE Pri
41、mary 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
42、, no claim or warranty is made that compliance or non-compliance with this standard will fulfil or not fulfil any of the users particular purposes or needs. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its
