Primary batteries — Part 4: Safety of lithium batteries
1 Scope
This part specifies tests and requirements for primary lithium batteries to ensure their safe operation under intended use and reasonably foreseeable misuse.
Note: Primary lithium batteries that are standardized in GB/T 8897.2 are expected to meet all applicable requirements herein. It is understood that consideration of this part might also be given to measuring and/or ensuring the safety of non-standardized primary lithium batteries. In either case, no claim or warranty is made that compliance or non-compliance with this standard will fulfil or not fulfil any of the user’s particular purposes or needs.
