Standards, Certifications & Class Approval
Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.
| Applicable Standards & Certification | IEC 60623 applies to vented nickel-cadmium prismatic secondary cells. IEC 62259 covers nickel-cadmium secondary cells with partial gas recombination. Marine installation requirements may also refer to the applicable IEC 60092 series and flag-state rules. |
|---|---|
| Class Approval | Approval is product- and application-specific. Marine battery installations may be accepted by DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, or ClassNK when the battery type and installation meet the applicable class rules and vessel requirements. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Install in a dedicated, ventilated battery space or cabinet in accordance with the maker's manual and vessel electrical plans. Secure against vibration, observe correct polarity and series/parallel configuration, provide suitable overcurrent protection, and use compatible chargers and cable sizes. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Follow the manufacturer's charging and equalization procedures. Inspect terminals, intercell links, casing, ventilation, electrolyte condition on vented types, and signs of leakage or corrosion. Perform capacity or discharge testing at the intervals required by the vessel's planned maintenance system. |
| Safety Notes | Nickel-cadmium batteries can release hydrogen during charging and contain caustic potassium hydroxide electrolyte. Keep away from ignition sources, provide ventilation, wear chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection, prevent short circuits, and dispose of batteries through approved hazardous-waste channels. |
