ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

This first edition cancels and replaces ISO/PAS 19295:2016, which has been technically revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— a normative reference clause has been added,
— the terms and definitions clause has been revised,
— a requirement has been added to the component operating status (see 7.2),
— a requirement has been added to load dump (see 7.6.3),

ISO 21498-1:2021(E)
Introduction
The requirements for voltage class B electric circuits that are used for electric power transfer for
the propulsion of electric road vehicles and their characteristics are significantly different to those
of voltage class A electric circuits. Moreover, the range of voltage class B is too wide to be used for a
component design regarding to voltage.
The ISO 21498 series divides voltage class B in a set of voltage sub-classes to enable a component design
for each voltage sub-class regarding to voltage. It provides appropriate descriptions and definitions for
requirements and characteristics of voltage class B systems for electrically propelled vehicles.
The voltage sub-class itself and the component characteristics have a large cost impact on the component
design and on the overall design of the electric system. Additionally, a high variety of different voltage
sub-classes and operating conditions impedes the use of an existing component in different vehicle
models. The standardisation of voltage sub-classes and characteristics and the reduction of varieties
will enable the reduction of component and system costs. This allows the decoupling of the system or
component designs of a voltage class B electric circuit from the design of the electric energy source.
Finally, the exchange of components from different suppliers for different customers is facilitated.
This document provides definitions of and for voltage sub-classes and characteristics for rechargeable
energy storage systems (RESS) and electric propulsion systems. It defines specific values for these sub-
classes based on maximum working voltage. Voltage sub-classes listed in this document are used for
voltage class B systems of all kinds of current or future electrically propelled road vehicles.
ISO 21498-2 provides electrical tests for electric and electronic components at voltage class B used for
electrically propelled road vehicles. All relevant characteristics are covered considering usual driving
scenarios as well as deviations from normal operation. The descriptions are generalized and include
purpose, setup, procedure and requirements for the tests.
The specifications in this document are not intended to restrict the development of component
performance or technology. The given definition of sub-classes does not exclude the use of other
maximum operating voltages for an individual system design.
