EUCAR Hazard Levels
Cell hazard levels are the outcome of performed safety tests and are classified under the EUCAR Hazard level table
Safety levels are <=4 for:
HAZARD LEVEL
0

DESCRIPTION
Solid Power DCRC
No effect
Passive protection activated
Defect/ damage
Leakage, a change in mass of
less than 50%
Venting, a change in mass of
more than or equal to 50%
Fire or Flame
Rupture
Explosion

CLASSIFICATION CRITERIA & EFFECT
No loss of functionality
Cell irreversibly damaged and repair needed with no defect, exothermic
reaction, thermal runaway or higher level hazards
Cell irreversibly damaged and repair needed with no exothermic reaction,
thermal runaway or higher level hazards
Loss in electrolyte weight of less than than 50% with no higher level hazards
Loss in electrolyte weight of more than 50% with no higher level hazards
Exothermic reaction or thermal runaway with no rupture or explosion
No explosion, but flying parts of the active mass
Disintegration of the cell
Appendix
Current state-of-the-art cells
✓ Target 2023 mass market, low range cells
✓ Target 2030 mass market, high range cells
✓ Target 2030 mass market commercial cells
Cells with Hazard levels greater than 4 are a non-starter
Deemed hazardous
