The US, EU, and Japan have co-sponsored a proposal to develop harmonized safety and environmental standards for electric vehicles. This document proposes objectives for a working group to pursue the environmental aspects under the auspices of the Working Party on Pollution and Energy (GRPE).

Proposal for establishing two informal working groups addressing the safety and environmental requirements for electric vehicles to enhance regulatory cooperation including developing global technical regulations in the framework of the 1998 Agreement.

Draft scope, objectives, and rules of procedure for the EVS working group as submitted for the May 2012 session of the Working Party on Passive Safety.

List of future actions resulting from the first Electric Vehicle Safety working group session.

Draft minutes from the first Electric Vehicle Safety informal working group session as submitted to the 51st session of the Working Party on Passive Safety (GRSP)

Corrected draft minutes from the first Electric Vehicle Safety informal working group session as submitted to the 51st session of the Working Party on Passive Safety (GRSP).

Corrected draft scope, objectives, and rules of procedure for the EVS working group as submitted for the May 2012 session of the Working Party on Passive Safety.

Report on the first session of the informal working group established to develop a global technical regulation for electric vehicle safety.

Proposed guidelines for the scope, objectives, and procedures of the informal group established to develop a global technical regulation on electric vehicle safety.

Scope and objectives of the effort to establish a global technical regulation for electric vehicles covering high voltage electrical safety, safety of electrical components, and rechargeable energy storage systems (REESS).

Formal progress report on the effort to establish a global technical regulation to ensure that electric vehicle occupants are protected during normal use and during and after a crash event from hazards associated with high voltage circuits and energy storage systems.

Draft report of the 2nd Meeting of the informal group for the establishment of a global technical regulation on electric vehicle safety.

This document is a progress report to the Executive Committee of the 1998 Agreement (AC.3) on the development of the draft gtr for electric vehicle safety (EVS), as recommended by the Working Party on Passive Safety (GRSP) at its May 2014 session. An extension of the mandate for the informal working group (IWG) is requested.

Status report on the development of a global technical regulation to address high voltage electrical safety in electric vehicles and their components (such as recharging inlets and rechargeable electric energy storage systems (REESS)). The draft regulation especially concerns flammable electrolytes and covers both in-use and post-crash environments.

Progress report on the development of GTR concerning safety aspects of electric vehicles.

Status report on the development of global technical regulations addressing the safety of electric vehicles.
