This document by JASIC highlights the importance of safety standards for RESS in vehicles with a focus on potential risks like fire/explosion, overcharge, short circuits, and more. It emphasizes harmonization and practical requirements for various battery chemistries.

Consideration for Safety Standard of RESS 2 November 2010 Transmitted by Japan Automobile Standards Internationalization Center (JASIC)
Basic Thought of Japan • World-wide Harmonization is important • Rapid growth of EV/PHEV/HEV market in various regions • Reasonable, Effective and Practicable requirements • Examine status of development of existing regulations or standards • Seek for harmonization and reciprocal arrangement with UN38.3 for Li-ion
Scope and Approach • Define presumed conditions • Ensure safety while RESS is installed on vehicle • Examine of potential risk and countermeasure according to type of battery chemistry with Prioritization (i.e. Li-ion) • Non-water based electrolyte (e.g. Li-ion) • Water based electrolyte (e.g. NiMH, Lead-acid) • Molten salt, Molten metal (e.g. ZEBRA, NaS) • Adequately apply functional requirement or structural requirement
Potential Safety Risks and relevant ECE Regulations 1 2 3 4 Fire/Explosion is the potential risks to be addressed, where definition of “Fire” and “Explosion” to be agreed
