BS EN IEC 62928:2018 applies to onboard lithium-ion traction batteries for railway applications.This document specifies the design, operation parameters, safety recommendations, data
exchange, routine and type tests, as well as marking and designation.Battery systems described in this document are used for the energy storage system (ESS) for
the traction power of railway vehicles such as hybrid vehicles as defined in IEC 62864-1:2016.
Auxiliary batteries to supply power only to the auxiliary equipment are excluded.Subcomponents within the battery systems, e.g. battery management system (BMS) and
battery thermal management system (BTMS), are also covered in this document.Power conversion equipment (e.g. chopper, converter, etc.), inductors, capacitors and
switchgear are excluded from the scope of this document.General requirements for onboard ESS are described in IEC 62864-1:2016.This document specifies the lithium-ion battery technology but does not prevent the use of
battery technologies other than lithium-ion technology for application as traction batteries.A hybrid energy storage system, which uses two or more energy storage technologies
combined, e.g. a traction battery and double layer capacitors, is not covered in this document.
However, if different technologies of energy storage systems are used on the same railway
vehicle and managed independently, each independent energy storage system is covered by
its own document.Cross References:IEC 62620:2014IEC 60050-811:2017IEC 62619:2017IEC 62278:2002IEC 60050-482:2004ISO/IEC Guide 51:2014 ED3IEC 62498-1:2010IEC 62864-1:2016IEC 60529IEC 60077-5IEC 60850IEC 60051 (all parts)IEC 61373IEC 60571IEC 61991IEC 62497-1IEC 60077-1ISO 7010IEC 62236-3-2IEC 62279IEC 60077-2UIC 640IEC 60050-826IEC 60721-3-2IEC 61287-1IEC 61123NFPA 130IEC 62133 (all parts)EN 15085 (all parts)IEC 61133EN 45545 (al parts)ISO 13849-1EN 50272-2IEC 61434IEC 62485-3UIC 550IEC 61377:2016All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
