NOTE 4      Les exigences de sécurité pour les équipements d'alimentation des VE en courant continu où la protection repose sur une isolation double ou renforcée sont spécifiées dans l’IEC/TS 61851‑3‑1 et l’IEC/TS 61851‑3‑2.

Mopedi in motorna kolesa na električni pogon - Varnostne zahteve za prevodno (kabelsko) priključitev na zunanje električno napajanje (ISO 18246:2023)

Ta dokument določa varnostne zahteve za prevodno (kabelsko) priključitev mopedov in motornih koles na električni pogon (imenovanih električna vozila) na zunanje električne tokokroge.
OPOMBA 1: Zunanji električni tokokrogi vključujejo zunanje električno napajanje in zunanje električne obremenitve.
Ne zagotavlja celovitih varnostnih informacij za proizvodno, vzdrževalno in servisno osebje.
Uporablja se samo za polnilne sisteme v vozilu med vtičem ali vtičnico na vozilu ter vezji RESS.
OPOMBA 2: Zahteve za vozila, ki niso priključena na zunanje električne tokokroge, so podane v standardu ISO 13063.
Zahteve za dvosmerni prenos energije iz enosmernega na izmenični tok so v fazi preučevanja in niso del tega dokumenta.
OPOMBA 3: Varnostne zahteve za opremo za enosmerno napajanje električnih vozil, kjer zaščita temelji na električni ločitvi, so podane v standardu IEC 61851-25.
OPOMBA 4: Varnostne zahteve za opremo za napajanje električnih vozil z enosmernim tokom, kjer zaščita temelji na dvojni ali okrepljeni izolaciji, so podane v standardu IEC TS 61851-3-1 in standardu IEC TS 61851-3-2.

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

on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 18246:2015), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— terms and definitions have been updated;
— requirements for protection against electric shock (Clause 7) have been rewritten;
— descriptions for additional requirements and test procedure (Clause 9) have been simplified;
— requirements for the specific DC charging systems have been described in the Annexes (Annex B for
IEC 61851-25 and Annex C for IEC TS 61851-3 series).

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 on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity
assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical
Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 22, Road vehicles, Subcommittee SC 38,
Motorcycles and mopeds.
If there is any lack of requirements especially for safety issues in this International Standard, the
requirement in other relevant standards, such as ISO 17409, is adopted.
