Report on Chinese vibration testing of battery packs on commercial vehicles.

China comments on requirements for low battery energy warning telltale.

Status of the task force work.

This document summarizes data and information gathered by the JRC relevant to the risks of flooding (e.g., passing through standing water) to electric vehicles, in particular with regard to conditions found within the European Union, towards reaching an agreement on test conditions under the GTR.

JRC presentation in support of a one-hour post-test (post-crash) observation period for electrolyte leakage.

China-Japan agreement on draft text for the thermal propagation test procedure.

US proposal for sequential fault testing of battery management systems.

Test protocol as of September 2015, covering vibration test, thermal shock and cycling, and mechanical integrity.

EC JRC views on the regulatory text proposed by the US concerning battery management system functionality (document EVS-09-05) and based upon the US draft sequential testing protocol (document EVS-06-36) which addresses the following tests:

• Extreme temperature protection (failed cooling and heating systems)
• Over-discharge protection
• Over-current and over-voltage overcharge protection
• External short circuit protection

Agreed draft text concerning test procedures for mechanical impact and external short circuit protection.

Working draft for mechanical integrity crush force testing and evaluation for electrolyte leakage, fire, and explosion risks

Presentation of OICA views on the NHTSA, JRC, and Japan input regarding the state-of-charge of the batteries (or other energy storage systems) under electric vehicle safety testing.

Proposal to modify item 3 of the Annex to Rule No. 1.
