UL 1642
The North American safety standard for lithium cells, tested by Underwriters Laboratories through a series of electrical, mechanical and environmental abuse tests. UL 2054 covers the batteries built from them.
- Also called
- UL 2054
Example
Stationary, industrial and product standards: an example situation
A cell-level test does not establish fire performance or commissioning requirements for a complete installation.
Read UL 1642 alongside Abuse testing in this context. Deliberately driving cells and packs beyond their limits — overcharge, crush, nail penetration, external short, heating, drop — to see how they fail. Standards define each test and rank the outcome on a hazard scale from no effect to explosion.
Use in Lemonergy
Match scope to product and installation.
This is a reference concept. No executable Lemonergy block has been verified for this term.
