This standard provides requirements for assessing and reducing risk when working on energized batteries. The battery risk assessment process is defined along with best practices for implementation. Requirements for selecting personal protective equipment are specified along with the procedures for establishing a lower risk working condition. This standard covers the electrical hazards of all battery technologies regardless of form factor or chemistry. This standard does not cover fire hazard, chemical hazard, hydrogen gas control, or thermal runaway. This standard does not cover capacitors.
