CEN/TC 301/WG 5 - Safety, other aspects

This standard specifies the requirements for electrically propelled road vehicles in terms of electrical safety, when the electrical vehicle is not connected to the external power supply. This is applicable to electric vehicles for which the maximum working voltage of any electrical circuit is 750 V dc or 500 V ac.

This European standard aims at defining all requirements specific to the electrically propelled vehicles in order to remain safe both for the users of the vehicle and for the environment of the vehicle (pedestrian, nature protection against pollution etc). This standard does not apply to maintenance operations and specific requirements for the vehicle connected to an external power supply. This part deals with specific requirements related to the board electrochemical storage of energy.
