Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been rea
13、ched by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. The use of American National S

Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests for int
16、erpretations should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the title page of this standard. CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that action be taken to r
17、eaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard no later than five years from the date of approval.

29、11 v Foreword (This foreword is not part of American National Standard C18.1M, Part 2-2011.) In 1912, a committee of the American Electrochemical Society recommended standard methods to be used in testing dry cells. Their recommendations were followed five years later when the National Bureau of Sta
30、ndards (currently the National Institute of Standards and Testing) prepared specifications that included cell sizes, arrangement of cells within batteries, service tests, and required performance. The need for continued revision to the specification led to the authorization, by the American Engineer
31、ing Standards committee, of a permanent sectional committee on dry cells. This committee, C18, representing battery users, manufacturers, and government agencies, has remained active since that time. Committee C18 prepared ANSI Standard C18.1M, Part 2, upon which this document is originally based un
32、der the sponsorship of the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA). ANSI Standard C18.1M, Part 2 was created in parallel with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) project to develop a product safety standard for primary batteries with aqueous electrolyte (IEC Publication
33、60086-5). This revision was undertaken to update the safety tests and content in ANSI Standard C18.1M, Part 2 and to keep them current with the best possible practices. Suggestions for the improvement of this standard are welcome. They should be sent to the National Electrical Manufacturers Associat

40、ng the integrity of people and property. This standard defines performance requirements for primary batteries with aqueous electrolyte to ensure their safe operation under normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse. Safety is a balance between freedom from risk of harm and other demands to be met
41、by the product. There can be no absolute safety. Even at the highest level of safety, the product can only be relatively safe. In this respect, decision-making is based on risk evaluation and safety judgment. As safety will pose different problems, it is impossible to provide a set of precise provis
42、ions and recommendations that will apply in every case. This may be particularly true for button type batteries. However, this standard, when followed on a judicious “use when applicable” basis, will provide reasonably consistent standards for safety. 2 Scope This American National Standard specifie
43、s tests and requirements for portable primary batteries with aqueous electrolyte and zinc anode (non-lithium) to ensure their safe operation under normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse. For reference, the chemical systems standardized in ANSI C18.1M, Part 1 are: Carbon zinc (Leclanch and zinc
44、 chloride types); Alkaline manganese dioxide; Silver oxide; Zinc air; Nickel oxy-hydroxide. 3 Normative References The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this American National Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indi
45、cated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this American National Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards indicated below.
