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.
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.
These standards are a practical means of improving the overall quality, sustainability, and safety of portable batteries sold in the EU. However, the Regulation does not foresee the lifecycle assessments of portable batteries before at least 2030. 6. End-of-life management
Performance and Durability Requirements (Article 10) Article 10 of the regulation mandates that from 18 August 2024, rechargeable industrial batteries with a capacity exceeding 2 kWh, LMT batteries, and EV batteries must be accompanied by detailed technical documentation.
The CE conformity assessment and CE marking requirements started to apply on 18 August 2024. Initially, requirements for carbon footprint, recycled content and performance and durability requirements for portable batteries of general use will not be part of the CE-marking but will be added at a later date.
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.

EU Battery Regulation explained
The CE conformity assessment is a self-certification process for portable batteries and industrial batteries with a capacity of less than 2 kWh. For all other batteries, a notified body will need to be involved when the requirements for a carbon footprint declaration and recycled content declaration start to apply.
