scope:

This Standard specifies designations, tests and requirements for the safe operation of sealed nickel-metal hydride cells and batteries (hereafter referred to as cells and batteries, respectively) used in industrial applications excluding road vehicles.

When a JIS or IEC Standard specifying test conditions and requirements for cells used in special applications exists and is in conflict with this Standard, the former takes precedence. For example, IEC 62675 exists for sealed nickel-metal hydride prismatic secondary cells and batteries.

Since this Standard covers batteries for various industrial applications, it includes those requirements which are common and minimum to the various applications.

NOTE The International Standard corresponding to this Standard and the symbol of degree of correspondence are as follows.

IEC 63115-2 : 2021 Secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes - Sealed nickel-metal hydride cells and batteries for use in industrial applications - Part 2 : Safety (MOD)

In addition, symbols which denote the degree of correspondence in the contents between the relevant International Standard and JIS are IDT (identical), MOD (modified), and NEQ (not equivalent) according to ISO/IEC Guide 21-1.
