13、ectrical Manufacturers Association American National Standard Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judg
14、ment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached 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 co
15、ncerted effort be made toward their resolution. The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standard or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures
16、 not conforming to the standards. The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National Stand
17、ard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests for interpretations 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 Caution Notice: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time.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
18、of the American National Standards Institute require that action be taken to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard no later than five years from the date of approval. Purchasers of American National Standards may receive current information on all standards by calling or writing the American N

27、n National Standard C18.2M, Part 2-2014.) 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 Standards prepared specifications that included cell s
28、izes, 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 Engineering Standards committee, of a permanent sectional committee on dry cells, now portable cells. This committee, C
29、18, representing battery users, manufacturers, and government agencies, has remained active since that time. In April 1996, the then ANSI Accredited Standards Committee C18 on Specifications for Dry Cells and Batteries established a new general format for the publication of its standards, dividing t
30、he standard into two parts. Part 1 of this American National Standard for Portable Rechargeable Cells and Batteries contains two basic sections. The first section has general requirements and information, such as the scope, applicable definitions, general descriptions of battery dimensions, terminal
31、 requirements, marking requirements, general design conditions, test conditions, etc. Section 2 of Part 1 is comprised of specification sheets for various types of cells and batteries. This Part 2 of the standard, a separate document, contains safety requirements. The ANSI Committee C18 on Portable
32、Cells and Batteries completed what is in effect the first edition of this specification on safety requirements in 1999 under the sponsorship of the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA). This latest edition was issued to update the safety tests and keep them current with the best poss
33、ible practices. In particular, this latest edition considers and takes into account the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Model Regulations, and IEC 62281, Safety of primary and secondary lithium cells and batteries during transport. The purpose of these considerati
34、ons was to harmonize test procedures, where appropriate, and prevent the proliferation of unnecessary or redundant tests. Suggestions for improvement of this standard are welcome. They should be sent to the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, 1300 N. 17th Street, Suite 900, Rosslyn, VA 22
35、209, Attention: Secretary, ANSI ASC C18. This standard was processed and approved for submittal to ANSI by the Accredited Standards Committee on Dry Cells and Batteries, C18.
