Battery Standards Steering Committee Scope
The Steering Committee assigns Committees to specific tasks.
Standardization should cover all aspects of the cell, module, pack or vehicle for form-
fit-function, testing, validation, manufacturing, shipping, transportation, emergency
response, service, recovery and recycling through the value chain in society.
