EUCAR Hazard Levels
Cell hazard levels are the outcome of performed safety tests and are classified under the EUCAR Hazard level table
HAZARD LEVEL
DESCRIPTION
CLASSIFICATION CRITERIA & EFFECT
Safety levels are <=4 for:
0
No effect
1
Passive protection activated
2
3
4
Defect/damage
Leakage, a change in mass of
less than 50%
Venting, a change in mass of
more than or equal to 50%
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
✓ 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
5
6
Fire or Flame
Exothermic reaction or thermal runaway with no rupture or explosion
Rupture
No explosion, but flying parts of the active mass
Disintegration of the cell
7
Explosion
