PAS 7062:2021

This standard PAS 7062:2021 Electric vehicle battery cells. Health and safety, environmental and quality management considerations in cell manufacturing and finished cell. Code of practice is classified in these ICS categories:

• 43.120 Electric road vehicles

This PAS gives recommendations for the health and safety, environmental performance, and quality management in the manufacture of battery cells, such as the lithium-ion liquid electrolyte cell, for electrically-propelled vehicles (EVs). This PAS is intended to establish a common understanding and approach to EV battery cell manufacture and use. EV refers to any electrically assisted propelled vehicle; for example, plug-in hybrid, hybrid and full electric.

This PAS covers:

1. sourcing;

2. storing and handling material, traceability;

3. assembly;

4. chemical management (occupational health, personnel safety);

5. hazards and environmental conditions (solvents, people);

6. competency;

7. test methods and conformity;

8. formation of cell and fire hazards;

9. storage, handling and transport of completed cells;

10. clean rooms and dry rooms;

11. end-of-life consideration;

12. waste handling; and

13. environmental impact.

This PAS does not cover performance requirements for the individual chemicals and materials. The PAS also does not cover the general risks associated with manufacturing processes such as slips, trips and falls, or any risks covered by the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC [1].

This PAS is for use by battery cell manufacturers.

This PAS is of interest to battery cell users, automotive manufacturers and the entire supply chain.
