BS ISO 6469-1:2009 Electrically propelled road vehicles. Safety specifications. On-board rechargeable energy storage system (RESS)

BS ISO 6469-1 specifies requirements for the on-board rechargeable energy storage systems (RESS) of electrically propelled road vehicles, including battery-electric vehicles (BEVs), fuel-cell vehicles (FCVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), for the protection of persons inside and outside the vehicle and the vehicle environment. Flywheels are not included in the scope of this part of ISO 6469.

BS ISO 6469-1 does not apply to RESS in motorcycles and vehicles not primarily intended as road vehicles, such as material handling trucks or fork-lift trucks.

BS ISO 6469-1 applies only to RESS in on-board voltage class B electric circuits for vehicle propulsion.

BS ISO 6469-1 does not provide comprehensive safety information for manufacturing, maintenance and repair personnel.
