About Program:

A 3-day, hands-on program to operationalize battery circularity—from EV/ESS intake and grading to second-life integration and recycling. You’ll apply traceability (Battery Passport), design for disassembly, and compliance with EU 2023/1542, EPR, and key IEC/UL/NFPA/UN standards. Outcomes: a circularity flow & compliance checklist, a grading decision sheet + ESS proposal, and a recycling yield model with EHS plan.

Aim:

To equip participants with the standards, data methods, and hands-on tools to operationalize end-to-end battery circularity—from testing and grading EV/ESS packs through second-life integration to recycling—while ensuring traceability (Battery Passport), regulatory compliance (EU 2023/1542, EPR, recycled-content targets), and safety across product and facility operations (UN 38.3, IEC/UL/NFPA).

Program Objectives:

Map end-to-end circularity (intake → second-life → recycling).
Apply compliance (EU 2023/1542, EPR) and implement traceability (Battery Passport, SoH/SoC).
Design for disassembly and ensure safe intake/transport (UN 38.3; EHS).
Run/interpret grading tests; plan repurposing and BMS updates.
Align with IEC/UL/NFPA standards; compare recycling routes, model yields/ESG, and produce practical checklists & decision sheets.

What you will learn?

📅 Day 1 – Circularity, Policy & Data

Value chain: EV/ESS → test/grade → second-life → recycling → cathode supply
Compliance: EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542, EPR, recycled-content targets
Traceability: Battery Passport, serial/QR, custody, SoH/SoC, pack history
Design for disassembly: formats, fasteners, adhesives, BMS locks; economics & KPIs
Hands-on: Create a circularity flow + compliance checklist for one pack family

📅 Day 2 – Second-Life Integration

Intake & safety: EHS checks, UN 38.3 basics
Testing & grading: OCV/DCIR, pulse tests, quick SoH, aging models
Repurposing: module/pack routes, re-binning, BMS re-programming, cybersecurity
Standards: IEC 62619, UL 1973; monitoring & warranty
Hands-on: Build a grading decision sheet from sample test data and propose an ESS configuration

📅 Day 3 – Recycling & Safety Standards

Processes: pyro / hydro / direct (cathode-to-cathode); black-mass quality, reagent recovery
Yield & ESG: recovery rates, energy/water, LCA boundaries
Safety: de-energize, discharge, inerting; facility EHS; emergency response
Certifications: UL 9540/9540A, NFPA 855, IEC 62133, UN 38.3 transport
Hands-on: Map a recycling route & yield model for LFP or NMC and draft an EHS/standards plan
