Protection against electric shock and short circuits.
This standard applies specifically to stationary secondary batteries and battery installations with a maximum nominal voltage of . It provides a comprehensive framework for mitigating risks associated with three primary hazards:
Management of explosive hydrogen and oxygen gases released during charging.
Protection against chemical burns and environmental hazards from hazardous battery fluids.
It primarily covers and Nickel-cadmium (NiCd) / Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) chemistries used in critical infrastructure. Key Safety Requirements
