In the rapidly evolving world of battery technology, standards play a crucial role in ensuring safety, performance, and compatibility. The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) has established several key standards, including IEC 61960, IEC 62133, IEC 62619, and IEC 62620, which govern the design, testing, and use of lithium batteries.
Battery standards are mainly developed by the European Committee for Electro-technical Standardization (CENELEC), the International Electro-technical Commission (IEC), and sometimes by the International Standards Organization (ISO) and within the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN ECE).
If it is, let’s look at the battery monitoring standards of each country. International standard IEC 62133: Battery safety performance. IEC 61960: Secondary battery performance and safety requirements of international standard. IEC 60086: International standard for the performance and safety requirements of primitive batteries.
These include performance and durability requirements for industrial batteries, electric vehicle (EV) batteries, and light means of transport (LMT) batteries; safety standards for stationary battery energy storage systems (SBESS); and information requirements on SOH and expected lifetime.
The Batteries Regulation is the first European legislation that considers the full life cycle of batteries, including sourcing, manufacturing, use, and recycling, all in a single law. This aligns with the European Green Deal's circularity goals and promotes the sustainability of batteries throughout their life cycle.
Understanding IEC standards such as 61960, 62133, 62619, and 62620 is crucial for anyone involved in the production or use of lithium batteries. These guidelines ensure that batteries are safe, reliable, and efficient across a range of applications—from portable electronics to large-scale energy storage systems.

Standards for flow batteries
In 2010, the organising committee for the first IFBF conference identified the need to develop standards to support the growing flow battery industry. As a result, several companies and individuals formed a CENELEC workshop and CWA 50611: Flow batteries – Guidance on the specification, installation and operation was published in April 2013.
