Criteria" (Fourth revised edition)
3 Terms and Definitions
The terms and definitions established in the "UN Recommendations on the Transport of
Dangerous Goods--Manual of Tests and Criteria" (Fourth revised edition) and in IEC 60050
(482) as well as the following ones are applicable to this standard.
Protective device
It refers to the device that cuts off the current flowing, prevents the current from flowing to
one direction or restricting the current from flowing in one circuit, for instance, fuse, diode
and current limiter.
3.14
Rated capacity
It refers to the electric capacity of cell or battery measured after it withstands the load,
temperature and voltage cut-off points given by the manufacturer; the unit is Aꞏh.
3.15
Short circuit
It refers to the direct connection between the anode and cathode of cell or battery to provide
an almost resistance-free path for current.
3.16
Small battery
It refers to the battery that is composed of small cells and for which the aggregate lithium
content at the anodes of all the cells therein is not larger than 500g at the fully charged state.
3.17
Small cell
It refers the cell for which the content of lithium at its anode is not larger than 12g at the fully
charged state.
4 Requirements
4.1 General Requirements
4.1.1 The marks, signs and dangerous goods colored labels incused, printed or pasted on the
package of dangerous goods of lithium batteries shall be accurate and clear, and shall meet the
requirements of the relevant provisions specified in GB 19458.
4.1.2 Each lithium cell and battery shall be equipped with safe air exhausting device, or
5.2.3 Test methods
5.2.3.1 Vibration
The cell and battery shall be clipped onto the platform of vibration machine fixedly and
tightly without any surface deformed. The simple harmonic vibration with amplitude of
0.8mm (total drift: 1.6mm) shall be applied. The frequency shall be varied according to 1
HZ/min between 10HZ and 55HZ. Three mutually perpendicular cells or batteries shall be
applied with the full back-and-forth vibration frequency range in their installation orientations,
and the time required for each direction shall be 95min±5min. If the cells or batteries have
only two symmetry axes, then the test shall be carried out in the direction perpendicular to
each symmetry axis, and one vibration direction therein shall be perpendicular to the
electrode surface.
5.2.3.2 Impact
The cell and battery shall be tightened onto the impact testing apparatus with hard bracket,
and the bracket shall support all the installation surfaces. Each cell or battery shall bear
impacts of the equal size for three times, and these impacts shall be applied along three
mutually perpendicular directions that are orthometric to the cell or battery surface. During
the impact of every time, the acceleration mode of cell or battery shall be:
a) As for the small cell and small battery, the minimum mean acceleration within the
first 3ms shall be 75 times of the local gravity acceleration, and the maximum
acceleration shall be 125~175 times of the local gravity acceleration; or
b) As for the large cell and large battery, the maximum acceleration not less than 50
times of the local gravity acceleration shall be reached within at most 11ms.

The same as 5.1.3.3.
5.3 Vibration, Impact and Charge Test
5.3.1 Test equipments
This test needs the following equipments: vibration machine, impact testing apparatus,
resistor and voltmeter. The impact testing apparatus shall meet the requirements stated in
38.3.4.2.2.1 of the "UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods--Manual of
Tests and Criteria" (Fourth revised edition).
5.3.2 Specimen preparation
The test specimens shall be prepared according to the requirements stated in 38.3.4.3.2 of the
"UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods--Manual of Tests and Criteria"
(Fourth revised edition).
5.3.3 Test methods
5.3.3.1 Vibration
The same as 5.2.3.1.
5.3.3.2 Impact
The same as 5.2.3.2.

One test cell or battery shall be connected with one non-discharged primary cell or battery of
the same type or one fully charged rechargeable cell or battery in the series connected cell
string, and the electrodes of the test cell or battery shall be inversely connected. As for the cell
with nominal voltage less than 2V and the battery for which the nominal voltage of all the
cells constituting it is less than 2V, the total number of the cells or batteries in the series
connected cell string, including the test cells or batteries, shall be equal to "18V/V" and shall
be rounded off to the proximate integral number, here V is the nominal voltage of one cell or

here V is the nominal voltage of one cell or battery. One resistive load shall be added into the
series connected cells or batteries. If the cell or battery has no protective device, the resistive
load shall be able to make the mean current consumption be equal to the maximum
continuous discharge current given by the manufacturer. Where the large cell can not obtain
this mean current consumption by using t...
