IEC 60086-1:2026(Main)

Primary batteries - Part 1: General

IEC 60086-1:2026 is intended to standardize primary batteries with respect to dimensions, nomenclature, terminal configurations, markings, test methods, typical performance, safety and environmental aspects. This document on one side specifies requirements for primary cells and batteries. On the other side, this document also specifies procedures of how requirements for these batteries are to be standardized. As a classification tool for primary batteries, this document specifies system letters, electrodes, electrolytes, and nominal as well as maximum open circuit voltage of electrochemical systems. The object of this part of IEC 60086 is to benefit primary battery users, device designers and battery manufacturers by ensuring that batteries from different manufacturers are interchangeable according to standard form, fit and function. Furthermore, to ensure compliance with the above, this document specifies standard test methods for testing primary cells and batteries. This document also contains requirements in Annex A of this document justifying the inclusion or the ongoing retention of batteries in the IEC 60086 series. This fourteenth edition cancels and replaces the thirteenth edition published in 2021. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) In Clause 3, terms were reordered according to their functions: basic terms, electrochemical systems, battery shapes, electrical characteristics, specifications, failure modes;
b) New letter "T" was added in Table 1, Standardized electrochemical systems of 4.1.4 classification;
c) Maximum open circuit voltage of letter "F" was changed from 1,83 to 1,90 V;
d) Drawing of pulse tests with multiple load was moved from IEC 60086-2 to 5.2.2.2, Application tests with multiple loads;
e) Annex F, Guidance for proposing value of minimum average duration was modified;
f) Annex D of IEC 60086-2:2021, Common designation, has been transferred to Annex H of this document;
g) Table H.1, Common designation index, was modified to provide reference to IEC 60086 2 1 and IEC 60086-2-2 for each battery;
h) Annex I identifies the batteries of general use and the applicable tests to compare their performance, in support of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 (Batteries Regulation).

Primary batteries - Part 4: Safety of lithium batteries

IEC 60086-4:2025 specifies tests and requirements for primary lithium batteries to ensure their safe operation under intended use and reasonably foreseeable misuse.
This sixth edition cancels and replaces the fifth edition published in 2019. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- Added definitions for leakage and venting, in addition to the test criteria;
- Revised overdischarge test;
- Revised marking requirements;
- Revised criteria for the child resistant packaging test;
- Changed the purpose of Annex F from "informative" to "normative";
- Added a new Annex G with additional measures against misuse of batteries not intended for consumer replacement;
- Integrated the contents of Interpretation Sheet 1 (IEC 60086-4:2019/ISH1:2020);
- In Clause 3, terms were reordered according their functions: basic terms, electrochemical systems, battery shapes, battery sizes, electrical characteristics, specifications, safety aspects, failure modes;
- In 6.4.4, the exemption for the shock acceleration for lithium primary batteries was reduced from 12 kg to 4,482 kg in order to reflect the fact that this is the threshold in IEC 62281, Test T-4, where the peak acceleration decreases below 150 gn.

NOTE Different standards may apply for lithium-ion traction battery systems used for electrically propelled road vehicles. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2016. This edition constitutes a technical revision.This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) button cell definition revised, moved to coin (cell or battery);
b) addition of provisions for batteries forming an integral part of equipment (5.4);
c) all tests for secondary cells and batteries now also contain a requirement for 25 charge and recharge cycles prior to the test;
d) addition of alternative tables for Table 1 and Table 2 in Annex B;
e) addition of "forcible" to the rupture criteria;
f) test report 6.8 merged with test certificate 6.9 and replaced with the items listed in [13];
g) addition of an informative Annex B with important deviations from the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Chapter 38.3.
