Lithium-Ion Battery Care Guide
I. Core Framework of the IEC Certification System
IEC 62619
IEC 62933-5-2
IEC 62933-5-2
IEC 62485-2
II. In-depth Analysis of Key Standards
1. IEC 62619 — The "Safety Threshold" for the European Market
IEC 62619 includes system-level functional safety assessment (Annex B), requiring the BMS to have redundant protection logic (such as dual overvoltage protection).
2. IEC 62620 — Performance Verification and Warranty Basis
Purpose: Unlike the safety "Pass/Fail" of 62619, 62620 provides a performance benchmark, serving as the technical basis for your company to sign cycle life warranty contracts with European and American customers.
Core Tests:
25°C Cycle Life: 0.5C charge/discharge, >80% capacity retention cycle count (your company's LFP should commit to >6000 cycles)
High Temperature Performance: Capacity retention >95% at 45°C (essential for the Italian/Spanish market)
Storage Performance: Capacity recovery rate >90% after 28 days of storage at 55°C
3. IEC 62933-5-2 — "System Integration Certificate" for Energy Storage Systems
Positioning: Targeting ESS energy storage systems (distinct from cells/modules), corresponding to your company's UL 9540, but with different systems.
Key Requirements:
EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility): Must meet IEC 61000-6-2 (Immunity) and IEC 61000-6-4 (Emission).
Functional Safety (SIL): The energy storage system must have SIL 2 (Safety Integrity Level) emergency shutdown capability. Your company's BMS must comply with IEC 61508 or ISO 13849.
Grid Adaptability: Must meet IEC 61727 (Grid Connection Requirements) and IEC 62116 (Anti-Islanding).
