Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 17409:2015(E)
Electrically propelled road vehicles — Connection to an
external electric power supply — Safety requirements
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies electric safety requirements for conductive connections of
electrically propelled road vehicles to an external electric power supply using a plug or vehicle inlet.
It applies to electrically propelled road vehicles with voltage class B electric circuits. In general, it may
apply to motorcycles and mopeds if no dedicated standards for these vehicles exist.
It applies only to vehicle power supply circuits. It applies also to dedicated power supply control
functions used for the connection of the vehicle to an external electric power supply.
It does not provide requirements regarding the connection to a non-isolated d.c. charging station.
It does not provide comprehensive safety information for manufacturing, maintenance, and repair
personnel.
The requirements when the vehicle is not connected to the external electric power supply are specified
in ISO 6469-3.
NOTE 1 This International Standard does not contain requirements for vehicle power supply circuits
using protection by class II or double/reinforced insulation but it is not the intention to exclude such vehicle
applications.
NOTE 2 Requirements for EV supply equipment are specified in IEC 61851.

— the charge between any contacts shall be below 50 µC within 1 s after disconnection of the vehicle
from external electric power supply;
— the voltage between any contacts shall be below or equal to 60 V d.c. and 30 V a.c. (rms) within 1 s
after disconnection of the vehicle connector from external electric power supply.
The vehicle inlet shall comply with at least one of the following requirements if its voltage class B live
parts are protected at least by IPXXB in accordance with ISO 20653:
— the energy between any contacts shall be below 0,2 J within 10 s after disconnection of the vehicle
from external electric power supply;
ISO 17409:2015(E)
— the voltage between any contacts shall be below or equal to 60 V d.c. and 30 V a.c. (rms) within 10 s
after disconnection of the vehicle from external electric power supply.
The voltage or energy shall be measured at the unmated vehicle inlet
5.4.4 Contacts of unmated portion of vehicle inlet
The contacts of an unmated portion of the vehicle inlet shall fulfil at least one of the following
requirements, when the other contacts of this vehicle inlet are mated with a vehicle connector (e.g. d.c.
contacts of a combined vehicle inlet unmated and other contacts mated with a type 1 or type 2 vehicle
connector according to IEC 62196 series):
— the energy between any unmated contacts shall be below 0,2 J if live parts are protected at least by
IPXXB in accordance with ISO 20653;
— the voltage between any unmated contacts shall be below or equal to 60 V d.c. and 30 V a.c. (rms) if
live parts are protected at least by IPXXB in accordance with ISO 20653;
— the charge between any contacts shall be below 50 µC if live parts are not protected at least by
IPXXB in accordance with ISO 20653.
5.5 Insulation coordination
5.5.1 General
The vehicle power supply circuit shall fulfil the applicable sections of IEC 60664 series on insulation
coordination and meet the withstand voltage capability according to the details in 5.5.2 or 5.5.3.
Neither dielectric breakdown nor flashover shall occur during the withstand voltage test.
Compliance shall be tested in accordance with 12.4.
5.5.2 A.C. connection (Mode 1, 2, and 3)
The vehicle power supply circuit shall be designed according to the overvoltage category II unless
appropriate overvoltage reduction in accordance with IEC 60664-1 is provided in the vehicle power
supply circuit.
5.5.3 D.C. connection (Mode 4)
The vehicle power supply circuit shall be designed according to a rated impulse voltage of at least 2 500 V.
NOTE IEC 61851–23 has adopted this fixed value of the rate
