Sealed secondary cells or batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes, particularly those in the lithium system, have ushered in a new era of portable power storage solutions. Lithium-based batteries, including Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) and Lithium-Polymer (LiPo), have become the go-to choice for numerous portable applications due to their impressive energy density, lightweight design, and long cycle life. These batteries have powered the proliferation of modern consumer electronics, from smartphones and laptops to drones and electric vehicles.
They exhibit a relatively low self-discharge rate, ensuring that stored energy remains available for extended periods when not in use. The sealed construction enhances safety and durability while eliminating the risk of electrolyte leakage. Lithium-based sealed secondary cells have set new industry standards for energy efficiency and performance, enabling the portability and longevity of today's cutting-edge technologies.
IS 16046:2018 is an Indian Standard that specifically addresses sealed secondary cells or batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes for use in portable applications, focusing on lithium systems. These standards help reduce the risk of battery-related incidents, such as fires or explosions, ensuring the safety of users. Manufacturers are often required to comply with these standards to meet regulatory requirements and ensure their products are legally compliant and safe for consumers.
Note: Manufacturers of sealed secondary cells or batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes for use in portable applications, with Part 2 specifically focusing on lithium systems, are required to obtain the mandatory BIS/CRS Registration to launch their products in the Indian market.
BIS/CRS Registration is designed to ensure that these batteries conform to rigorous quality, safety, and performance standards set by the BIS. Manufacturers and suppliers of Sealed Secondary Cells/Batteries with lithium systems must undergo a comprehensive evaluation to verify their compliance with essential criteria related to safety, energy efficiency, and overall quality. This registration for Sealed Secondary Cells/Batteries, particularly those with lithium systems, serves the vital purpose of assuring that these products adhere to the prescribed standards.
Bureau of Indian Standards is a statutory body in India responsible for the formulation and implementation of standards to ensure the quality and safety of various products. Under the BIS framework, there exists a scheme called CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme), which mandates that certain categories of products must undergo mandatory registration and comply with specified quality and safety standards before they can be sold in the Indian market. This scheme was established in 2012 and has since played a crucial role in enhancing product quality and safety in India by ensuring that items such as electronics, appliances and automotive components meet the necessary standards before they reach consumers. BIS/CRS Registration is vital for market access, as it is a legal requirement for selling the product in India. Failure to obtain this registration can result in confiscation of goods and legal consequences. Therefore, manufacturers and importers need to be diligent in ensuring their products meet the necessary criteria.
