A draft amendment (prA4) to EN 50342:2001 was submitted to the Un
15、ique Acceptance Procedure and was approved by CENELEC on 2004-12-01 to be combined with the existing documents and published as EN 50342-1. This European Standard supersedes EN 50342:2001 + A1:2001 + A2:2001 + corrigendum March 2003 + A3:2004 and is the result of a detailed review of the existing do
16、cuments resulting in a series ofchanges of an editorial nature designed to make it more cl early defined and consistent. Annex A of EN 50342:2001, which described the European Type Number for starter batteries (ETN),was removed due to the cessation of its operation by an external company. The follow
17、ing dates were fixed: latest date by which the EN has to be implemented at national level by publication of an identical national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2006-11-01 latest date by which the national standards conflicting with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow)2007-12-01 _ Foreword to amendme

The following dates are fixed: latest date by which the amendment has to be implemente
19、dat national level by publication of an identical national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2012-10-17 latest date by which the national standards conflicting with the amendment have to be withdrawn (dow) 2014-10-17 This amendment is due to Commission Regulation (EU) No 1103/2010 of 29 November 2010
20、 establishing, pursuant to Directive 2006/66/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, rules as regards capacity labelling of portable secondary (rechargeable) and automotive batteries and accumulators (OJ L 313, 30.11.2010, p. 37). It aims to amend EN 50342-1:2006 in view of precise definit
21、ions of the values of accuracy for capacity and cold cranking. For this purpose, the definition of the labelled capacity must be clearly identified, and a method of sampling the batteries as well as the degree of compliance need to be defined more precisely. Additionally, more precise phrasing for t
22、he definition of the needed labels is required. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CENELEC and/or CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. _ BS EN 50342-1:2006+A1:2011 EN 50342-

29、HS-,-,- 4 -1 General 1.1 ScopeThis standard is applicable to lead-acid batteries with a nominal voltage of 12 V, used primarily as a power source for the starting of internal combustion engines, lighting and also for auxiliary equipment of internal combustion engine vehicles. These batteries are com
30、monly called “starter batteri es“. Batterieswith a nominal voltage of 6 V are also included w ithin the scope of this standard. All referenced voltages have to be divided by two for 6 V batteries. This standard is applicable to batteries for the following purposes: batteries for passenger cars, batt
31、eries for commercial and industrial vehicles for normal use, batteries for commercial and industrial vehicles for severe use. This standard is not applicable to batteries for other purposes, for example the starting of railcarinternal combustion engines. 1.2 ObjectThe object of this standard is to s
32、pecify general requirements; certain essential functional characteristics, the relevant test methods and results required, forseveral classes and types of starter batteries. 1.3Designation of starter batteries - Electrolyte density and open circuit voltage1.3.1 Batteries are classified according to
33、their types vented (flooded) battery: a secondary batteryhaving a cover provided with one or more openingsthrough which gaseous products may escape; valve regulated (with gas recombination) battery (VRLA): a secondarybatterywhich is closed undernormal conditions but which has an arrangement that all
34、ows the escape of gas if the internal pressure exceeds a predetermined value. The battery cannot receive addition to the electrolyte. In this type of battery, the electrolyte is immobilised. 1.3.2 Electrolyte density and open circuit voltage The density of the electrolyte in all fully charged vented
35、 batteriesshall be in the range 1,27 kg/l to 1,30 kg/l at 25 C unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer.The open circuit voltage (OCV),offully charged batteries after a minimum 24 h stand on open circuit, shall be in the range 12,70 V to 12,90 V for vented types and 12,80 V minimum for valve r
36、egulated types at 25 C unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer.The manufacturer shall specify the electrolyte density (or OCV) and tolerance. If such information isnot available, vented battery testing shall be carried out with a density of 1,28 kg/l 0,01 kg/l at 25 C or an OCV of 12,76 V 0,0
37、6 V at 25 C and valve regulated battery testing shall be carried out with a minimum OCV of 12,80 V.

38、rking permitted without license from IHS-,-,- 5 -1.4Condition on deliveryNew vented batteries may be supplied either in a state ready for use, filled with the appropriate electrolyte to the maximumlevel. After an initial charge (according to 4.2.1), the electrolyte density or OCV shall be within the
39、 ranges specified in 1.3; or in a dry-charged state not filled with electrolyte. The density of the acid to fill such batteriesbefore use shall be in the range 1,27 kg/l to 1,30 kg/l at 25 C unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer.Valve regulated batteries are normally supplied in a state rea
40、dy for use. For these batteriesthe electrolyte is not accessible and therefore its density cannot be checked. 2 General requirements 2.1 Identification,labellingBatteries according to this standard shall bear the following characteristics on at least one of their sidesor on the top surface: a) the i
41、dentification of manufacturer or supplier;b) the nominal voltage, i.e. 12 V or 6 V; c) the capacity:The values of C n or C r,n for all batteries shall correspond to the electrolyte density or OCV given in 1.3; e) the six coloured symbols as specified in Annex A, Safety labelling; f) the marking for
42、the separate collection and recycling according to EN 61429; g) valve regulated batteries shall be marked VRLA. NOTE Batteries may be marked with other information such as the filling and charging date (see 4.1).2.2Marking of the polarityThis shall be in accordance with: EN 60095-2 Part 2: Dimension
43、s of batteries and dimensions and marking of terminalsEN 60095-4 Part 4: Dimensions of batteries for heavy commercial vehicles obligatory : nominal capacity Cn(Ah) (see 3.1.2), additional on demand reserve capacity Cr,n(min) (see 3.1.2), d) obligatory: the nominal cranking current Icc(see 3.1.1); !
44、“!“h) label size: the capacity C20and the cold cranking current Icc(A) shall be displayed on a separate label or as text on a combined label (e.g. together with additional information of the producer or type mark). The size of the label shall be at least 3 % of the largest side of the battery. The c
45、haracter size high should be at least 3 mm. The label shall be fixed on one of the four sides or on the lid. A multiple labelling is allowed. !“BS EN 50342-1:2006+A1:2011 EN 50342-1:2006+A1:2011 (E)Copyright European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization Provided by IHS under license with C
