This British Standard provides guidance on safety
and health aspects of the design, installation,
handling, usage, maintenance, dismantling,
recovery and disposal of lead-acid stationary cells
and batteries. It also provides guidance on aspects of
design for racks, cubicles, rooms and ventilation and
for electrical systems to which the batteries are
connected. It includes vented cells and valve
regulated lead-acid cells. It does not include
automotive starter batteries.
This standard does not cover the use of stationary
cells and batteries in potentially explosive
atmospheres, e.g. in mines.
This standard does not cover the use of alkaline
secondary cells and batteries, for example nickel
cadmium or nickel iron types. These are covered in
BS 6132.
NOTE 1 If both vented cells and valve regulated lead-acid cells
are located in the same room the recommendations for vented
cells should prevail.
NOTE 2 Open cells, as defined in 1.3.1.3, are referred to only
for the purpose of dismantling, recovery and disposal.
