DESCRIPTION

PAS 7061:2020


This standard PAS 7061:2020 Batteries for vehicle propulsion electrification. Safe and environmentally-conscious handling of battery packs and modules. Code of practice is classified in these ICS categories:
  • 43.020 Road vehicles in general
  • 29.220.01 Galvanic cells and batteries in general

This PAS covers batteries for electrically propelled vehicles, including electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and fuel cell hybrid electric vehicles.

The PAS gives recommendations for the safe and environmentally-conscious handling and management of packs and modules of batteries throughout the life cycle of the battery (from sourcing of material, through to manufacturing, battery use and battery second life/disposal).

This PAS gives guidance based on lithium ion battery chemistries, with alternatives chemistries covered in Annex A.

This PAS provides guidance for the following vehicle categories:

  1. motorcycles:

    1. L1e;

    2. L2e;

    3. L3e;

    4. L4e;

    5. L5e;

    6. L6e;

    7. L7e;

  2. passenger cars:

    1. M1;

    2. M2; and

  3. light goods vehicles: N1.

NOTE Attention is drawn to the European Directives 2002/24/EC [3] and 2007/46/EC [4] for the definition of these vehicle categories.

This PAS aims to provide an overview of good practice, that can help industry save time and resources, and build UK knowledge to manage risk in a new manufacturing sector to ensure the UK can continue to influence and manufacture exports to international markets.

The PAS covers:

  1. failure;

  2. detection;

  3. venting;

  4. fumes;

  5. disposal;

  6. hazards;

  7. fire management;

  8. handling;

  9. lifting;

  10. storage;

  11. service; and

  12. competency levels.

It does not cover the pack being assembled into a vehicle, or cell and pack design and dimension commonization. It also does not cover vehicle-in-use accident management.

This PAS is for use by manufacturers of pack and module batteries. It is also for use by logistics organizations who move pack and modules, vehicle manufacturers, vehicle dealerships and vehicle end-of-life/recycling organizations.

This PAS is also of interest to commercial vehicle (M3, N2 and N3 categories), off-highway vehicle and rail vehicle traction battery manufacturers, Government, regulators, insurance companies, local authorities, shipping, fire, supply chain and reclamation companies.
