EUCAR Hazard Levels and Descriptions
| Hazard Level | Description | Classification Criteria & Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | No effect | No effect. No loss of functionality. |
| 1 | Passive protection activated | No defect; no leakage; no venting, fire or flame; no rupture; no explosion; no exothermic reaction or thermal runaway. |
| 2 | Defect/Damage | No leakage; no venting, fire, or flame; no rupture; no explosion; no exothermic reaction or thermal runaway. Cell irreversibly damaged. Repair needed. |
| 3 |
Leakage △ mass<50% |
No venting, fire, or flame; no rupture; no explosion. Weight loss <50% of electrolyte weight (electrolyte=solvent+salt). |
| 4 |
Venting △ mass≥50% |
No fire or flame; no rupture; no explosion. Weight loss ≥50% of electrolyte weight (electrolyte=solvent + salt). |
| 5 | Fire or Flame | No rupture; no explosion (i.e., no flying parts). |
| 6 | Rupture | No explosion, but flying parts of the active mass. |
| 7 | Explosion | Explosion (i.e., disintegration of the cell). |
