NEK NSPEK 411:2022 – Safety requirements for secondary lithium cells and batteries

Forside NEK NSPEK:2022

Maritime battery systems

NEK NSPEK 411 has been developed to meet the demand from the maritime industry. Standards developed by IEC TC 18 in general covers this demand.

However, the technology for maritime battery systems currently moves faster than the development of international standards. At the time of publishing this document the development work on maritime batteries within IEC TC 18 is in the early stages, which takes about 33 months on an average.

IEC 60092-305 and IEC 60092-401 are also relevant standards that may include requirements to maritime battery rooms as well as battery system requirements.

The intention of this document is to provide a solution that contributes to the steps necessary to comply with the authority requirements. In that sense, this document alone may not include sufficient requirements. Depending on a situation, other requirements may also be necessary, for example classification society rules or contractual requirements.

For the preparation of the document, it is considered that the IEC 62619:2022 contains the necessary basic requirements for lithium-ion maritime battery systems and that supplementary requirements for marine application are necessary.

This document constitutes an assessment of IEC 62619 to whether each requirement is suitable for maritime applications. Where IEC 62619:2022 is found insufficient, this document suggests additional or modified requirement

Why use NEK NSPEK 411?

IEC 62619 is considered to contain the basic requirements for maritime batteries. However, as the development of the maritime battery technology evolves dramatically and fast, the standard may be insufficient in certain circumstances. NEK NSPEK 411 aims to be a supplement to IEC 62619 and give requirements that will comply with authorities demands, when IEC 62619 requirements is insufficent.
