IEC 62620:2014 specifies marking, tests and requirements for lithium secondary cells and batteries used in industrial applications including stationary applications. When there exists an IEC standard specifying test conditions and requirements for cells used in special applications and which is in conflict with this standard, the former takes precedence. (e.g. IEC 62660 series on road vehicles). The following are some examples of applications that utilize the cells and batteries under the scope of this standard.
- Stationary applications: telecom, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), electrical energy storage system, utility switching, emergency power and similar applications.
- Motive applications: fork-lift truck, golf cart, AGV, railway, and marine, excluding road vehicles.
This standard applies to cells and batteries. If the battery is divided into smaller units, the smaller unit can be tested as the representative of the battery. The manufacturer clearly declares the tested unit. The manufacturer may add functions, which are present in the final battery, to the tested unit.

This document specifies methods for the clear identification of secondary cells, batteries, battery modules and monoblocs according to their chemistry (electrochemical storage technology). The markings described in this document are applicable for secondary cells, batteries, battery modules and monoblocs with a volume of more than 900 cm3. The marking of the chemistry is useful for the installation, operation and decommissioning phases of battery life. Many recycling processes are chemistry specific, thus undesired events can occur when a battery which is not of the appropriate chemistry enters a given recycling process. In order to ensure safe handling during sorting and recycling processes, therefore, the battery is marked so as to identify its chemistry. This document defines the conditions of utilization of the markings indicating the chemistry of these secondary batteries. The details of markings and their application are defined in this document. NOTE Nothing in this document precludes the marking of batteries with recycling and chemistry symbols required by state, federal, national or regional laws or regulations or with a seal under license by a national recycling program.

The objective of this document is to provide the purchasers and users of coin secondary lithium
cells and batteries with a set of criteria with which they can assess the performance of coin
secondary lithium cells and batteries offered by various manufacturers.
This document defines a minimum required level of performance and a standardized
methodology by which testing is performed and the results of this testing reported to the user.
Hence, users will be able to establish the viability of commercially available cells and batteries
via the declared specification and thus be able to select the cell or battery best suited for their
intended application.
This document covers coin secondary lithium cells and batteries with a range of chemistries.
Each electrochemical couple has a characteristic voltage range over which, during discharge,
it releases its electrical capacity, a characteristic nominal voltage and a characteristic end-ofdischarge
voltage. Users of coin secondary lithium cells and batteries are requested to consult
the manufacturer for advice.
This document also provides guidelines for designers of equipment using lithium batteries (see
