Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to the production, testing, and acceptance of various civilian primary batteries, including aqueous electrolyte batteries (alkaline and non-alkaline zinc-manganese dioxide, zinc-silver oxide, zinc-nickel oxyhydroxide, and zinc-air) and lithium primary batteries (lithium-carbon monofluoride, lithium-manganese dioxide, etc.). It is mandatory for manufacturers producing primary batteries for the Chinese civilian market. The standard also provides guidance for electrical appliance designers on battery compartment safety design.
Technical requirements
The standard specifies safety performance requirements for primary batteries, referencing GB 8897.5 for aqueous electrolyte batteries and GB 8897.4 for lithium primary batteries. Chapters 5 and 6 are mandatory, covering safety performance and marking requirements. For marking requirements, batteries must display model, production date, polarity, nominal voltage, manufacturer details, and safety warnings. Small batteries must have specific markings on their direct packaging, including a warning against accidental swallowing. The standard also provides extensive guidelines for battery compartment design in electrical appliances. This includes preventing reverse installation, avoiding short circuits, and ensuring proper electrical contact. Designers must ensure compartments prevent children from easily accessing batteries and that circuits prevent charging of primary batteries.
Testing methods
Testing methods are not explicitly detailed within this standard itself. Instead, it mandates that aqueous electrolyte batteries must undergo safety performance tests specified in GB 8897.5, while lithium primary batteries must be tested according to GB 8897.4. The standard focuses on compliance verification against these referenced protocols.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 24462-2009?
GB 24462-2009 regulates civilian primary batteries, including both aqueous electrolyte types (like alkaline and zinc-air) and non-aqueous lithium primary batteries. It applies to their production, testing, and acceptance.
Are there any mandatory chapters in GB 24462-2009?
Yes. Chapter 5 (Safety Performance Requirements) and Chapter 6 (Marking) are mandatory, while the remaining chapters and appendices are recommended.
Does GB 24462-2009 provide guidelines for electrical appliance designers?
Yes. The standard includes detailed guidelines for battery compartment safety design, such as preventing reverse battery installation, avoiding short circuits, and ensuring proper ventilation and child safety features.
