3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document the terms and definitions given in EN 13878:2003 apply.
4 Power supply
4.1 General
The power supply shall be a nominal DC 12 V obtained from an auxiliary battery, except in the case of a motor
caravan where the overall length multiplied by the overall width does not exceed 8,5 m plan area. In this case it is
permissible to use only the base vehicle battery.
The supply of the auxiliary battery shall be obtained from the electrical installation of the base vehicle or one or
more of the following sources:
a) Battery charger (see 7.4);
Where the charger is combined with a transformer/rectifier unit fixed within the motor caravan, then individual
items of current using equipment can also be supplied with electricity directly from this rectifier unit.
b) Generator that is driven by any form of energy (see 4.3);
c) solar energy cells (see 4.3).
It shall be ensured that the auxiliary battery will be automatically disconnected from the 12 V power supply of the
base vehicle when the engine of the base vehicle is turned off.
If several sources of supply are used it shall be ensured that there is no unfavourable interaction.
4.2 Auxiliary batteries
4.2.1 General
An auxiliary battery shall only be intended for the electric power supply of the living area.
4.2.2 Type of battery
An auxiliary battery shall be of the rechargeable type.
Non-rechargeable batteries are not auxiliary batteries according to 4.2. They may be used, provided that they are
used in circuits separated from other sources of electrical supply.
4.2.3 Capacity
An auxiliary battery shall have a minimum capacity of at least 60 Ampere-hours (Ah) at 20 h discharge rate.
NOTE It is recommended to use a battery designed to be discharged over long periods at a relatively low current.
4.2.4 Terminals
Auxiliary battery terminals shall be clearly and durably marked “+” and “–“. Connections to auxiliary battery
terminals shall be securely clamped or bolted to ensure continuous contact and shall be insulated unless the
auxiliary battery is provided with an insulating cover.
4.2.5 Location
If an auxiliary battery is not installed in the engine compartment, it shall be placed in a compartment according to
4.2.6, which is designed to protect it from mechanical damage, with easy access for maintenance and/or removal
and secured to prevent movement of the battery, e.g. when the motor caravan is in motion.
4.2.6 Auxiliary battery compartment
An acid resistant liquid tight tray shall be installed under an auxiliary battery whose electrolyte is liquid capable of
holding at least 20 % of the electrolyte capacity of the recommended battery, when in place.
The interior of an auxiliary battery compartment shall be ventilated and protected against the corrosive effect of
acid-laden gases, either by
a) installing a sealed auxiliary battery that incorporates an external ventilating kit that is taken to the exterior of
the motor caravan; or
b) installing an auxiliary battery in an enclosed battery compartment that is protected in

The standard SIST EN 1648-2:2005 offers a comprehensive framework for the safety and health considerations of 12 V direct current (DC) extra low voltage (ELV) electrical installations specifically for motor caravans. Its scope delineates the requirements for the habitation aspects of motor caravans, ensuring that the electrical installations not only comply with safety standards but also meet functional prerequisites for user enjoyment and reliability. One of the notable strengths of this standard is its focus on installations that can be interconnected with the base vehicle's electrical system. This feature enhances the versatility of motor caravans, allowing for a seamless integration of power sources which is crucial for both safety and performance. The inclusion of requirements for ELV output from low voltage (LV) equipment furthers the standard’s applicability, ensuring that the installations perform efficiently and safely while adhering to societal norms and expectations. Moreover, the standard’s specificity regarding the exclusion of safety, technical, and functional requirements for LV appliances illustrates a clear delineation, guiding manufacturers and installers to reference other standards, such as HD 384-7-708 S1, for compliance. This ensures that stakeholders can focus on the necessary elements while knowing where to find additional relevant information. In terms of relevance, SIST EN 1648-2:2005 stands out by addressing a growing sector within the leisure industry, where the demand for safe and efficient electrical installations in motor caravans is paramount. By laying down precise guidelines, the standard plays an essential role in enhancing consumer safety and satisfaction, paving the way for innovations in motor caravan design and functionality. Overall, the SIST EN 1648-2:2005 standard effectively balances the needs for safety and functionality, allowing manufacturers to produce better-equipped motor caravans that cater to the evolving demands of users in the leisure accommodation sector.
Le document SIST EN 1648-2:2005 offre un cadre essentiel pour les installations électriques à courant continu de 12 V dans les véhicules de loisirs, en particulier les caravanes. En se concentrant sur des exigences spécifiques en matière de sécurité, de santé et de fonctionnalité, cette norme vise à garantir que les installations électriques respectent des critères stricts, assurant ainsi la sécurité des utilisateurs tout en favorisant une utilisation efficace de l'énergie. L'un des principaux atouts de cette norme est son application ciblée. Elle ne s'applique qu'aux installations qui sont électriquement connectées à l'installation électrique du véhicule de base ou qui peuvent l'être par des dispositifs de commutation. Cette particularité assure que toutes les installations concernées soient évaluées selon un ensemble homogène de critères, minimisant ainsi les risques potentiels liés à l'électricité dans les caravanes. En outre, la SIST EN 1648-2:2005 définit également les exigences relatives à la sortie ELV pour les équipements de basse tension qui peuvent servir à fournir une alimentation ELV. Cela montre une prise en compte des équipements modernes et de leur intégration dans le cadre d'une installation électrique plus large, même si la norme ne conserve pas les exigences de sécurité, techniques et fonctionnelles pour les appareils et installations de basse tension (BV), qui sont abordées dans la norme HD 384-7-708 S1. Cette approche réduite à un champ spécifique permet une concentration optimale sur la particularité des installations ELV. La pertinence de cette norme dans le domaine des véhicules de loisirs ne peut être sous-estimée. À une époque où la sécurité et l'efficacité énergétique sont des préoccupations majeures, le SIST EN 1648-2:2005 constitue un guide essentiel pour les fabricants, les installateurs et les utilisateurs finaux. Son alignement sur des exigences de sécurité rigoureuses contribue à la confiance des consommateurs et à l'amélioration continue des installations électriques dans les caravanes. Par conséquent, cette norme est d'une importance cruciale pour promouvoir des pratiques d'installation électriques sûres et conformes dans ce secteur spécifique.
Die Norm SIST EN 1648-2:2005 behandelt die sicherheitstechnischen, gesundheitsrelevanten und funktionalen Anforderungen an elektrische Installationen mit 12 V Gleichstrom (DC) sowie für Sicherheit in Freizeitunterkünften, speziell Motorcaravans. Die Norm ist von großer Relevanz für die Branche, da sie klare Richtlinien für die 12 V Gleichstromanlagen im Wohnbereich von Motorcaravans vorgibt. Ein bedeutender Aspekt der Norm liegt in ihrer spezifischen Anwendung für Installationen, die elektrisch mit der Grundfahrzeuginstallation verbunden sind oder durch Umstellgeräte verbunden werden können. Dadurch wird sichergestellt, dass die elektrischen Systeme der Motorcaravans sowohl komfortabel als auch sicher in der Nutzung sind. Stärken dieser Norm sind insbesondere die klaren Definitionen der Anforderungen und die Fokussierung auf Niederspannungs- (ELV) Ausgabebedingungen. Diese Festlegungen tragen dazu bei, dass die Sicherheit und Funktionalität der elektrischen Anlagen in Motorcaravans gewährleistet sind. Es wird jedoch auch darauf hingewiesen, dass die Norm keine Anforderungen für Niederspannungsgeräte (LV) und Installationen selbst festlegt, was durch die separate Norm HD 384-7-708 S1 geregelt ist. Insgesamt stellt die SIST EN 1648-2:2005 eine wertvolle Richtlinie dar, die nicht nur die Sicherheit der 12 V Gleichstrominstallationen in Motorcaravans gewährleistet, sondern auch die Gesundheit der Nutzer schützt und funktionale Anforderungen an die elektrischen Systeme definiert.
