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.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to
the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see
www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 22, Road vehicles, Subcommittee SC 37,
Electrically propelled vehicles.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 6469-2:2018), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— introduction of requirements for an external sound generation system;
— introduction of requirements for the operation of auxiliary electric systems;
— addition of an informative annex on standardized symbols for driver information.
A list of all parts in the ISO 6469 series can be found on the ISO website.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A
complete listing of these bodies can be found at www.iso.org/members.html.

Introduction
This document is the second part of the ISO 6469 series that provide safety specifications for electrically
propelled road vehicles.
Electrically propelled road vehicles have different functions and characteristics compared to
conventional vehicles.
This document addresses such characteristics with regard to the operational safety of electrically
propelled road vehicles.

Electrically propelled road vehicles — Safety
specifications —
Part 2:
Vehicle operational safety
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements for operational safety specific to electrically propelled road
vehicles, for the protection of persons inside and outside the vehicle.
Relevant requirements for motorcycles and mopeds are outside the scope of this document, they are
described in the ISO 13063 series.
This document does not provide comprehensive safety information for manufacturing, maintenance,
and repair personnel.
This document does not consider specific aspects of driving automation features.
NOTE 1 For the definition of the term “driving automation features”, see SAE J3016.
EMC is not covered by this document.
NOTE 2 For EMC see ISO 11451 and IEC 61851-21-1.
2 Normative references
There are no normative references in this document.
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminology databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:

3.1
auxiliary electric system
vehicle system, other than for vehicle propulsion, that operates on electric energy
[SOURCE: ISO 6469-3:2021, 3.1]
3.2
case A
connection of an electrically-propelled vehicle (EV) (3.6) to the supply network with a plug and cable
permanently attached to the EV
[SOURCE: IEC 61851-1:2017, 3.1.10]
3.3
case B
connection of an electrically-propelled vehicle (EV) (3.6) to the AC supply network with a cable assembly

3.4
case C
connection of an electrically-propelled vehicle (EV) (3.6) to the AC supply network utilizing a cable and
vehicle connector (3.16) permanently attached to the EV charging station
[SOURCE: IEC 61851-1:2017, 3.1.12]
3.5
driving-enabled mode
operating mode in which the vehicle can be moved by its own propulsion system (3.12) by one action
Note 1 to entry: Examples for this action are: pressure to the accelerator pedal, activation of an equivalent
control, release of the brake system.
3.6
electrically-propelled vehicle
EV
vehicle with one or more electric drive(s) for vehicle propulsion
[SOURCE: ISO 6469-3:2021, 3.15]
3.7
external electric circuit
electric circuit which connects to the vehicle power supply circuit (3.18) using the plug [case A (3.2)], the
vehicle inlet [case B (3.3) and case C (3.4)], the ACD counterpart [case D] or the ACD [case E] or electric
circuit which is magnetically coupled with the secondary coil
3.8
external electric power supply
electric power source that is not part of the vehicle for supplying electric energy to a vehicle
[SOURCE: ISO 17409:2020, 3.28]
