Frequently Asked Questions

TC 69 is a Technical Committee within the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It is named "Electrical power/energy transfer systems for electrically propelled road vehicles and industrial trucks" and is responsible for: To prepare publications on electrical power/energy transfer systems for electrically propelled road vehicles and industrial trucks (hereafter EV) drawing current from a rechargeable energy storage system (RESS). Possibilities to transfer power/energy include conductive power/energy transfer, wireless power/energy transfer and battery swap. The different publications can cover, but are not limited to: general requirements (e.g. safety, EMC, construction, testing); functional requirements (e.g. charging modes); communication between the EV and the EV supply equipment; electrical power/energy transfer between EV and supply network (G2V and V2G); management of the corresponding infrastructures in view of offering the associated value added services. EV include but are not limited to passenger cars and buses, two and three-wheel and light four-wheel vehicles, trucks and goods vehicles, trailers and special and industrial trucks. Trains, trams and trolleybuses are out of scope of TC69. This committee has published 67 standards.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the world's leading organization for the preparation and publication of international standards for electrical, electronic, and related technologies. Founded in 1906, the IEC provides a global platform for companies, industries, and governments to meet, discuss, and develop the international standards they require.

A Technical Committee (TC) in IEC is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
