UL 1974:2018 PDF Download

Standard UL 1974:2018 addresses the evaluation and grading process of battery packs, modules, cells, and electrochemical capacitors that were originally used for other purposes but are now intended for repurposed use applications such as energy storage systems. The standard emphasizes the sorting and grading process for these repurposed batteries, ensuring their suitability for their new applications.

Additionally, the standard includes application-specific requirements for repurposed battery packs/systems, as well as those utilizing repurposed modules, cells, and other components. This ensures that the repurposed batteries meet specific criteria and standards tailored to their intended use.

However, it's important to note that this standard does not cover the process for remanufactured batteries, which are also known as refurbished or rebuilt batteries. UL 1974:2018 focuses solely on the evaluation and repurposing of batteries for specific applications, protecting against potential risks and ensuring the quality and reliability of the repurposed batteries.
