Capacity marking - The Commission issued a mandate for standardisation bodies - CENELEC will be involved to study feasibility of standardisation 12 months - This study will most likely be followed by a mandate for standardisation
Capacity marking Scope mandate • Review of the current methods of measuring batteries capacity and the standards relating to these methods • Identify the availability of stakeholders in the EEA with a view to associate them • Study the appropriateness of formal standard(s) and/or new standardisationdocuments taking account the evolution of the technology and the particular needs of the battery sector.
Capacity marking Scope draft mandate • Review of existing standards/provisions applicable to similar labelling schemes for consumer information, e.g. energy-efficiency labels on appliances, and analysis of possible suitability/transferability for capacity labelling of batteries. • Provide recommendations on the further priorities for European and international standardisation and identify areas where international and/or European standardisation work is needed.
Capacity marking - Input by EPBA - Cooperation agreement EPBA - Cenelec - This allows EPBA to provide input on the discussions - Voting power by national standardisation bodies - Timing - 1 July: expected start of the mandate - The work will most likely be carried out through the secretariat of a Member State (most likely Germany)
