A Standards Landscape report looked at relevant published standards and identified gaps, leading to the development of three Publicly Available Specifications (PASs) and a strategic future roadmap.
Facilitated workshops with industry and government stakeholders helped develop detailed scopes for the three PASs and secured industry involvement in the PAS and roadmap development process.
The standards focus on different parts of the value chain, including health, safety and environmental considerations for battery manufacture in components, and vehicle design.
They include consideration of end of life, second life and recycling aspects; they also form the basis of a wider, long-term standardization to battery manufacturing worldwide.
