01. Functional Safety Standards (ISO 26262) Functional safety standards ensure that safety-related functionality in Battery Management Systems (BMS) is maintained throughout its lifecycle, mitigating risks that could compromise the system’s reliability and safety.
Hence, it is vital to have an intelligent battery management system (BMS) to ensure safe and reliable operations. In high voltage battery applications, safety standards & regulations reduce the risks associated with critical events such as electricity fluctuations, fire, thermal runaway, or chemical leakage.
Accuracy, response time, and robustness are three crucial performance criteria for a BMS that are covered in this section. Accuracy within a Battery Management System (BMS) signifies the system's capacity to deliver exact measurements and maintain control.
Battery-specific standards address the design, testing, and safety requirements of battery systems, which directly influence the functionality and safety of the BMS. UN 38.3 governs the transport of lithium batteries and mandates specific safety tests to ensure safe handling during shipping.
