PD ISO/IEC PAS 16898:2012

This standard PD ISO/IEC PAS 16898:2012 Electrically propelled road vehicles. Dimensions and designation of secondary lithium-ion cells is classified in these ICS categories:

• 43.120 Electric road vehicles

This Publicly Available Specification (PAS) specifies a designation system as well as the shapes and dimensions for secondary lithium-ion cells for integration into battery packs and systems used in electrically propelled road vehicles including the position of the terminals and any over-pressure safety device (OPSD). It is related to cylindrical, prismatic and pouch cells.

The cell designation according to this PAS is intended to be applied to the cells used for electrically propelled road vehicles. This PAS does not apply to cells specifically used for mopeds, motorcycles and vehicles not primarily defined as road vehicles, i.e. material handling trucks or forklifts.

The cell dimensions listed in this PAS are recommended but not restricted for use in passenger cars up to 3,5 t.

The inner design, the cell chemistry, the electrical characteristics and any further properties of the cells are not defined in this PAS.
