Delivering masterclasses to help industry use electric vehicle batteries

There is growing demand for batteries for electrification, with the market estimated to be worth £50 billion across Europe by 2025. The UK government has backed the Faraday Battery Challenge (FBC) to invest in research and innovation projects and new facilities to scale-up and advance the production, use and recycling of batteries.

BSI is leading the FBC standards programme, sponsored by Innovate UK and the FBC. The standards programme is focused on identifying gaps and addressing priority areas to support the growth of the industry, in the UK and globally.

Three fast-track standards (PASs) have been developed to provide recommendations for the health, safety and environmental considerations for battery manufacture in electrode and cell components, pack and modules, vehicle design. They will form the basis of a wider, long-term standardization approach to battery manufacturing, in the UK and internationally.

BSI delivered a series of free masterclasses to help organizations gain a deeper understanding of the standards and how to best implement them. Each masterclass was run by an expert trainer to offer participants tailored coaching and advice.
