Document Title Request for authorization to develop Phase 2 of the UN GTR on Electric Vehicle Safety
Reference Number WP.29/2017/143
Date
30 Aug 2017
Summary Proposal for the second phase development of the GTR on electric vehicle safety, including
  1. Water immersion test
  2. Long duration fire resistance test;
  3. Rechargeable Electrical Energy Storage System (REESS) rotation tests
  4. REESS vibration profile
  5. 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)
  6. Thermal propagation and methods of initiation in battery system
  7. Post-crash REESS safety assessment and stabilization procedures
  8. Light electric vehicles (e.g. categories L6 and L7, low speed vehicles)
  9. Protection during Alternating Current and Direct Current charging and feeding process
  10. Overcurrent requirements plus tests (component based).

WP.29 | Session 173 | 14-17 Nov 2017

142. The representative of the United States of America, Chair of the IWG on EVS and of GRSP, informed AC.3 that the group had last met in September 2017, to plan work without discontinuation of Phase 2 of the UN GTR to address the long-term research issues. Thus, he introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2017/143 prepared by the representatives of China, Japan, United States of America and the European Union to request authorization to start Phase 2 of the UN GTR.

143. AC.3 adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2017/143 and requested the secretariat to prepare the corresponding AC.3 document.
