UL 2054:2021 PDF Download

UL 2054:2021 standard provides requirements for portable primary and secondary batteries used as power sources in products. These batteries can consist of a single electrochemical cell or multiple cells connected in different configurations. The standard aims to reduce the risk of fire or explosion when batteries are used in a product.

It is important to note that the standard emphasizes the proper use of batteries within a complete product that complies with relevant requirements. Additionally, UL 2054:2021 focuses on batteries for general use and does not cover the combination of batteries and host products, as those are addressed by requirements in the host product standards.

Furthermore, the standard intends to address the safety aspects associated with the transportation, storage, and disposal of batteries when they are removed from a product. However, it does not cover the risk of toxicity resulting from battery ingestion or the potential injury that may arise if a battery is cut open to access its contents.
