Proposal to introduce provisions on thermal propagation as a result of a single cell thermal runaway.

Proposal to amend para. 9.(a) to clarify expansion of the protection scope of electrical and battery safety, including thermal propagation in cases of V2X, parking, and charging. The modification addresses new vehicle functionalities like V2X, defined in UN GTR No. 22, where traction batteries cover external power and energy demand. Additional requirements must be added, including isolation resistance requirements for coupling systems for charging the REESS, as defined in para. 5.1.1.2.4.4. of UN GTR No. 20.
