A proposal for the IEEE EV LiB cell safety standard

As the use of LiB is growing and the large number of LiB has powering in wide ranges of devices in a variety of usage conditions and environments, there were several LiB field incidents. Many battery safety standards were in place to minimize hazard and to prevent field safety incidents. However frequent LiB field safety incidents on the officially certified battery had caused big concerns on its safety and certification. IEEE developed two LiB safety standardizes for mobile applications but not yet starts standard for electric vehicle (EV) applications. Some other standard developing organizations have published or under developing process of the EV battery safety standard. This paper reviews the concepts and schemes of the IEEE LiB standards for mobile applications and analyzes the test results of LiB cell safety certification (IEEE1725). And a concept of standard for the EV battery safety in IEEE and the test protocols for the EV cell safety certification will be proposed.
