Request for authorization to develop Phase 2 of the UN GTR on Electric Vehicle Safety
Request for authorization to develop Phase 2 of the UN GTR on Electric Vehicle Safety
Proposal for the second phase development of the GTR on electric vehicle safety, including
Water immersion test
Long duration fire resistance test;
Rechargeable Electrical Energy Storage System (REESS) rotation tests
REESS vibration profile
Flammability, toxicity and corrosiveness of vented gas (i.e. quantification of venting for tests addressing safety of REESS post-crash, potential risk of “toxic gases” from non-aqueous electrolyte)
Thermal propagation and methods of initiation in battery system
Post-crash REESS safety assessment and stabilization procedures
Light electric vehicles (e.g. categories L6 and L7, low speed vehicles)
Protection during Alternating Current and Direct Current charging and feeding process
Overcurrent requirements plus tests (component based).
