This part of ISO 6469 specifies requirements for the on-board electrochemical storage of energy for the propulsion of exclusively battery-powered electric road vehicles (passenger cars and light commercial vehicles) for the purpose of protecting persons and the vehicle environment.
It is applicable only if the maximum working voltage of the on-board electrical circuit is lower than 1 000 V a.c., or 1 500 V d.c. or lower, according to national standards or regulations (e.g. for qualification of service personnel). It does not necessarily apply to assembly, maintenance and repair of these vehicles.
