Electric vehicle battery swap system - Part 1: General and guidance
IEC 62840-1:2025 gives the general overview for battery swap systems, for the purposes of swapping batteries of electric road vehicles when the vehicle powertrain is turned off and when the battery swap system is connected to the supply network at standard supply voltages according to IEC 60038 with a rated voltage up to 1 000 V AC and up to 1 500 V DC. This document is applicable for battery swap systems for EV equipped with one or more – swappable battery systems (SBS), or – handheld-swappable battery systems (HBS). This document provides guidance for interoperability. This document applies to • battery swap systems supplied from on-site storage systems (for example buffer batteries etc), • manual, mechanically assisted and automatic systems, • battery swap systems intended to supply SBS/HBS having communication allowing to identify the battery system characteristics, and • battery swap systems intended to be installed at an altitude of up to 2 000 m. This document is not applicable to • aspects related to maintenance and service of the battery swap station (BSS), • trolley buses, rail vehicles and vehicles designed primarily for use off-road, • maintenance and service of EVs, • safety requirements for mechanical equipment covered by the ISO 10218 series, • locking compartments systems providing AC socket-outlets for the use of manufacturer specific voltage converter units and manufacturer specific battery systems, • electrical devices and components, which are covered by their specific product standards, • any fix-installed equipment of EV, which is covered by ISO, and • EMC requirements for on-board equipment of EV while connected to the BSS. This first edition cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC TS 61280-1 published in 2016. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC TS 61280-1:2016: a) expanded scope to include handheld-swappable battery systems (HBS) and guidance on interoperability; b) added definitions for "handheld-swappable battery system" (HBS) and expanded related terms such as "SBS/HBS coupler," "SBS/HBS charger," etc; c) added classifications based on supply network characteristics, connection method, access and type of BSS; d) added support for HBS, detailing the different compositions and workflows for type A (SBS) and type B (HBS) battery swap stations; e) added requirements for functional interoperability, interface interoperability, data interoperability, operational interoperability, compatibility with legacy systems, and scalability; f) added requirements for communication, protection against electric shock, specific requirements for accessories), cable assembly requirements, BSS constructional requirements, overload and short circuit protection, EMC, emergency switching or disconnect, marking and instructions; g) expanded annex content, adding solutions for manual swapping stations for motorcycles with HBS and updating use cases.

Système d’échange de batterie de véhicule électrique - Partie 1: Généralités et recommandations
IEC 62840-1:2025 donne une vue d’ensemble des systèmes d’échange de batterie qui sont destinés à échanger les batteries des véhicules routiers électriques lorsque le groupe motopropulseur du véhicule est désactivé et que le système d’échange de batterie est raccordé au réseau d’alimentation à des tensions d’alimentation normales conformes à l’IEC 60038, avec une tension assignée allant jusqu’à 1 000 V en courant alternatif et jusqu’à 1 500 V en courant continu. Le présent document s’applique aux systèmes d’échange de batterie pour VE équipés d’un ou de plusieurs systèmes suivants: – systèmes de batterie échangeables (SBS); – systèmes de batterie échangeables portatifs (HBS). Le présent document fournit des recommandations pour l’interopérabilité. Il s’applique • Aux systèmes d’échange de batterie alimentés par des systèmes de stockage sur site (par exemple des batteries tampons, etc.). • Aux systèmes manuels, assistés mécaniquement et automatiques. • Aux systèmes d’échange de batterie destinés à alimenter des SBS/HBS dont la communication permet d’identifier les caractéristiques du système de batterie. et • Aux systèmes d’échange de batterie destinés à être installés à une altitude inférieure ou égale à 2 000 m. Le présent document ne s’applique pas • Aux aspects liés à la maintenance et à l’entretien de la station d’échange de batterie (BSS). • Aux trolleys bus, véhicules ferroviaires et véhicules principalement destinés à une utilisation tout terrain. • À la maintenance et l’entretien des VE. • Aux exigences de sécurité relatives aux équipements mécaniques couverts par la série ISO 10218. • Aux systèmes à compartiments de verrouillage fournissant des socles de prise de courant alternatif pour l’utilisation d’unités de conversion de tension spécifiques à un fabricant et de systèmes de batterie spécifiques à un fabricant. • Aux dispositifs et composants électriques couverts par leurs normes de produit spécifiques. • Aux équipements fixes de VE couverts par l’ISO. et • Aux exigences de CEM relatives aux équipements de VE embarqués connectés à la BSS

119 FOREWORD
120 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization
121 comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to
122 promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and
123 electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards,
124 Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter
125 referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National
126 Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. I
