about Japanese Industrial Standards on lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for ships.
These Standards have requirements and recommendations on LIB safety.
[What are some examples of some Japanese maritime LIB safety standards by code and numbers? For more general Japanese Safety Standard for LIBs see subheading “Legal
regulations in Japan”
Pete has found a reference to NDS F8016B, NDS F8016B is not a safety standard, but it is a example of a Standard for Japanese submarines using LIBs. NDS F8016B sets down rules to minimize stray magnetic fields created by LIBs. From the first Soryu Mark 2 (27SS) an extra 240 LIB cell modules may be placed in the space where the old Soryu Mark 1’s AIPs LOx tank assembly was.
Specifically 240 comes from Japanese Ministry of
Defence Standard NDS F8016B “General rules for design of
equipment with small stray magnetic field”, 5.3”Arrangement of main batteries
for submarine” which specifies that submarine generally equips with directly
connected 240 single cells as a group.]

Safety analysis tools for risk reduction measures age equipment
using LIBs include:
- Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)
- Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)
- Failure
Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and
- Safety
Integrity Level (SIL)
Risks of LIBs for submarine are often pointed out. But submarine operation and maintenance involves many risks.
Risks of LIBs for submarine are often pointed out. But submarine operation and maintenance involves many risks.
For example the practice of rectangular “sunroof” hull cutting
on Collins submarines (scroll 2/3s way down on this 2016
SubMatt article) to service diesel-generator sets) involves risk of fracture
when Collins dive deeply. In fact the RAN leadership have limited maximum Collins
diving depths because of the risks of extensive hull cutting.
It could be that the possibility of a submarine sinking caused
by rectangular hull cutting is far higher than the risk of LIBs failure.
