Designing framework for standardization and testing requirements for the secondary battery a case study of lithium-ion battery module in electric vehicle application

The regulation such as the national standards and testing requirements play important roles in industries. The roles of the standard are ensuring safety for consumers and producers, increase of product competitiveness, and the reduction trade of barriars. Currently, Indonesia is in the stage of developing electric vehicle industries, so that the standards which are related to electric vehicle such as standards for the electric vehicle batteries are needed. Additionally, Indonesia doesn't have any relevant standards to regulate it. This study, the FACTS approach (A Framework for Analysis, Comparison, and Testing of Standards) was used to construct a framework for standardization and testing requirements of the lithium-ion battery module products. There are 3 stages in the FACTS approach, namely analysis, comparison, and testing. The FACTS approach helps determine the tests which are needed by lithium-ion battery module in electric vehicle application. The FACTS approach gives additional information formalism and structure, so that the developed standard will be applicable for all stakeholders. The FACTS approach only use for standardization process especially at the drafting stage. Finally, eight parameters/ tests are determined as standard draft contents for lithium-ion battery module in electric vehicle application.
