scope:

This CP gives a description of the procedures and requirements related to documentation, design and type testing applicable for type approval (TA) of lithium-ion batteries.

The extent of type approval of a battery system should normally encompass:

- one or several defined combinations of battery cells in a battery module

- one or several defined combinations of battery modules in a battery string

- one or multiple battery strings in a battery system

- one set of main contactors or main circuit breaker (including control) for connection of the battery system to the charger/load.

This CP does not set the design requirements to the equipment. TA is based on compliance with design requirements given in the Society's rules and/or other regulations and standards.

The CP describes the applicable design requirements and how to document compliance with the requirements in order to obtain a TA certificate for the equipment.
