Korea comments in response to Japan’s document EVSTF-08-07 on the draft text for evaluating fire resistance of electric vehicle power systems (document EVS-08-01).

Korea comments on the OICA proposal in document EVSTF-08-14 for an LPG fire test method.

Korea comments on the documents EVSTF-08-13 and 14 concerning the draft text on fire resistance (EVSTF-08-01).

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.
