IEC 60086-3:2016 RLV contains both the official IEC International Standard and its Redline version. The Redline version is not an official document, it is available in English only and provides you with a quick and easy way to compare all the changes between the official IEC Standard and its previous edition.
IEC 60086-3:2016 specifies dimensions, designation, methods of tests and requirements for primary batteries for watches. In several cases, a menu of test methods is given. When presenting battery electrical characteristics and/or performance data, the manufacturer specifies which test method was used. This fourth edition cancels  and replaces the third edition published in 2011. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- A harmonization of the cell sizes and service output tests with IEC 60086-2,
- Clarifications of Clauses 6: Sampling and Quality Assurance, 7: Test methods, and 8: Visual examination and acceptance condition,
- Harmonization of temperature and humidity conditions with IEC 60086-1. This publication is published as a double logo standard.
