According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. SIST EN 15194:2009+A1:2012

This European Standard has been developed in response to demand throughout Europe. Its aim is to provide a standard for the assessment of electrically powered cycles of a type which are excluded from type approval by Directive 2002/24/EC. Due to the limitation of the voltage to 48 VDC, there are no special requirements applicable to the EPAC in regard to protection against electrical hazards.
EPACs are vehicles which use the same traffic areas as cars, lorries and motorcycles, which is predominantly the street. For this reason the products concerning EMC-testing have the same basic conditions. Chapter 8 of the EC Directive 97/24 contains a very high value concerning the immunity test of electronic components with 30 V/m, nevertheless based on the application area it comes up of the implementation. Manipulation of the electronic system of EPAC by other source of interference in the scope of the public road traffic could signify considerable risks of safety regulations for the user of EPAC. The standards EN 61000-6-1 as well as EN 61000-6-3 are standards for appliances in residential, commercial and light-industrial environments which do not reach the values for the EMC immunity-test necessary in the road traffic area. In these standards the EMC immunity of the electric and electronic systems will be tested only with 3 V/m, which is the tenth part of the requirements in chapter 8 of the EC Directive 97/24. These standards are unsuitable to obtain the urgent and necessary security level. SIST EN 15194:2009+A1:2012

1) Cut off speed. 2) Electric motor maximum continuous rated power. SIST EN 15194:2009+A1:2012

Example of recommendation for battery charging Safety and quality of battery charging can be greatly improved by sensing the battery temperature during charging.
Most battery charger manufacturers set their chargers to have an optimal ambient temperature of 20 °C to 25 °C. Lower temperatures result in under charge, higher temperatures result in over charge.
Whilst it is normal when building battery packs from Ni-Cad, Ni-Mh and Li-ion battery cells, to include temperature sensing, this is not always the case with valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries.
The main reason for including temperature sensing in VRLA batteries is to protect against one or more cells within the battery pack becoming short circuited. This lowers the terminal voltage and can allow the charger to supply more power than is required, which can lead to a dangerous thermal situation.
Temperature sensors should be fitted to each battery within the pack and this information fed back to the battery charger.
It is recommended that positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistors are used. All thermistors should be connected in series between the charger temperature pin (T) and the battery pack negative pin (-). Should any battery or cells within the pack reach the temperature given by the battery manufacturer (e.g.; 60 °C, 70 °C…) the charger thermal detection circuitry should be adjusted to detect this condition and take suitable measures to stop any further increase in temperature.
Example of relation between speed/torque/current This Annex gives one example of relation between speed/torque/current with progressively reduced output power (see Figure B.1).

Figure B.2 — Speed-torque diagram function Because the natural speed-torque-diagram is a linear falling function (at constant voltage U) the output-power-torque and the output-power-speed function is a parabolic one (see Figure B.2). Therefore, if the torque falls linear from Mcr (torque at Pcr – continuous rated power) to zero, the motor current falls linear to I0 and the power P falls progressively from Pcr to zero. The corresponding relations are:

2)(01nnncr+=
(B.3) One can verify this relation in two steps:  Firstly, reducing the torque to 2crMrespectively increasing the speed to 2)(01nnncr+=, corresponding to 2)(01IIIcr−=  Secondly, reducing the torque from 2crMto zero respectively increasing the speed to no load speed n0, corresponding to no load current. In the first step, the reduction of power is smaller than in the second one. So, the power is progressively reduced and finally cut off as the vehicle reaches the maximum assistance speed.

C.1.2.2.1 General The electromagnetic radiation generated by the vehicle type submitted for testing are to be measured by the method described in C.2. C.1.2.2.2 Vehicle reference limits (broad-band)
C.1.2.2.2.1 If measurements are taken using the method described in C.2, in respect of a vehicle-antenna distance of (10,0 ± 0,2) m, the radiation reference limit will be 34 dB microvolts/m in the 30-75 MHz frequency band and 34-45 dB microvolts/m in the 75 to 400 MHz frequency band. This limit will increase by the frequency logarithm for frequencies above 75 MHz. In the 400-1 000 MHz frequency band the limit remains constant at 45 dB. C.1.2.2.2.2 If measurements are taken using the method described in C.2, in respect of a vehicle-antenna distance of
(3,0 ± 0,05) m, 10 dB shall be added to the limit. C.1.2.2.2.3 The measured values expressed in dB (microvolts/m) shall be 2 dB below the reference limit for the vehicle submitted for testing. C.1.2.3 Requirements relating to narrow-band radiation emissions from vehicles
C.1.2.3.1 General The electromagnetic radiation from the vehicle submitted for testing is to be measured by the method described in C.3. C.1.2.3.2 Vehicle reference limits for vehicle narrow-band radiation
C.1.2.3.2.1 If measurements are taken using the method described in C.3, in respect of a vehicle-antenna distance of (10,0 ± 0,2) m, the radiation reference limit will be 24 dB in the 30-75 MHz frequency band and 24-35 dB in the 75-400 MHz frequency band. This limit will increase by the frequency logarithm for frequencies above 75 MHz. In the 400-1 000 MHz frequency band the limit remains constant at 35 dB. C.1.2.3.2.2 If measurements are taken using the method described in C.3, in respect of a vehicle-antenna distance of (3,0 ± 0,05) m, 10 dB shall be added to the limit. C.1.2.3.2.3 The measured values for the vehicle type submitted for testing expressed in dB (microvolts/m), shall be 2 below the reference limit. For conformity of production testing do not remove the 2 dB from the reference limit. C.1.2.4 Requirements regarding vehicle immunity to electromagnetic radiation C.1.2.4.1 Measuring method
Tests to determine the immunity of the vehicle type to electromagnetic radiation shall be conducted in accordance with the method described in C.4.
