Specifies requirements and tests for vented nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries. Technically identical with and reproduced from IEC 623:1990, including Amendment No.1:1992 and Amendment No.2:1992.

This international standard specifies tests and requirements for vented nickel-cadmium prismatic secondary single cells.NOTE - In this context, "prismatic" refers to cells having rectangular sides and base.When there exists an IEC standard specifying test conditions and requirements for cells used in special applications and which is in conflict with this standard, the former shall take precedence.
