Proposal of GTR provisions for an indication to remind the driver that the REESS remaining energy can only drive a short distance and to charge the BEV as soon as possible.

Comments on document EVSTF-07-33

Japan comments on the draft text for evaluating fire resistance of electric vehicle power systems (document EVS-08-01).

China concurrence that a 60-minute observation period for electrolyte leakage is appropriate in light of time required to extract occupants from vehicles in real-world accidents.

Proposal to ensure that battery-electric electric vehicles are equipped with an indicator to alert the driver that the REESS remaining energy can only drive a short distance and of the need to charge the BEV as soon as possible.

OICA draft text especially relating to discussions on REESS venting (minor and major) and assessment of risks to vehicle occupants.

OICA comments, especially relating to control over fire temperatures during testing.

Proposal to add an LPG test method.

Proposal based upon discussions with China and reference to FMVSS 305 provisions for fuel cell vehicles.

EVS Task Force 5 draft text as of 16 May 2016. The text proposes the intentional provocation of thermal runaway in a single cell either via a nail, heater, or overcharge method. The test is passed if no runaway or propagation occurs beyond the initiator cell or if no fire or explosion occurs beyond the initiating cell within five minutes of the initial thermal propagation.

Final proposal as of 27 May 2016.

Presentation of OICA proposals for changes to the working draft heavy vehicles section of the electric vehicle safety GTR.

Updated proposal on the test methods as of 31 May 2016.

Draft text for inclusion in the technical report on the development of the electric vehicle safety GTR.

Revised U.S. proposal for BMS functionality and sequential fault testing requirements

OICA argument for excluding water protection testing from the initial electric vehicle safety GTR. Broadly, OICA believes the issue needs more consideration before determining the appropriate response, especially given the absence of any reported accidents related to the potential concern and the variety of strategies available to prevent electric shocks.

Update version of document EVTS-08-60 on battery management system functionality.

OICA comments on the status of the discussions and proposed test procedure as of 13 June 2016.

OICA presentation on the proposed thermal propagation initiation methods (nail, heat, and overcharge) and concerns over the objectivity of the testing in terms of producing quantitative, comparable outcomes. OICA argues that the three proposed initiation methods are not equivalent and that overcharge should be removed. In addition, OICA could like to see a thermal runaway definition applicable to cathode or anode configurations and proposes changing the definition (detection criteria) of thermal runaway to temperature-increase rates of greater than 1.25°C/sec (75°C/min) or lower.

Presentation of research on various REESS configurations and proposal for test and performance criteria. Korea proposes configurations for the heat, penetration (nail), and overcharge initiation methods. In addition, Korea proposes a thermal runaway definition as the condition where the cell temperature rise rate ≥ 20°C/min and would limit the maximum cell temperature to ≥ 200°C Initiation method.
