This standard specifies the values of the various parameters such as voltage, current, power
and temperature to be used in the testing of battery cells, monoblocs and modules used for
the propulsion of electric road vehicles. The standard also defines certain test conditions and
procedures.
In its present form, the standard does not apply to high temperature batteries such as
sodium/sulphur types.
