Electric vehicle conductive charging system - Part 23-3: DC electric vehicle supply equipment - Megawatt charging systems
Scope: This part of IEC 61851 applies to the EV supply equipment to provide energy transfer between the supply network and electric vehicles (EVs), with a rated maximum voltage at side A (supply network side) up to 1 000 V AC or up to 1 500 V DC and a rated maximum voltage at side B (EV side) up to 1 250 V DC.
NOTE A rated maximum voltage of the EV supply equipment at side B of up to 1 500 V DC is under consideration.
This document specifies the EV supply equipment of megawatt charging system (MCS) equipped with a coupler according to IEC TS 63379. Systems different to MCS using a coupler specified in IEC TS 63379 are under consideration.
The requirements for bidirectional power flow systems are under consideration.
This document does not cover all safety aspects related to maintenance.
This document specifies systems with protective separation between side A and side B.
The requirements for digital communication between the EV supply equipment and the EV for control of energy transfer are defined in ISO 15118-10 and ISO 15118-20.
EV supply equipment in compliance with this document is not intended to provide energy transfer to a single EV using
– multiple vehicle connectors of the same EV supply equipment, or
– multiple EV supply equipment.
The requirements for such use cases are not specified in this document but are under consideration.
The requirements for EVs mated to EV supply equipment according to this document are specified in ISO 5474-3:2024, Annex B.

Ergonomics of the thermal environment - Evaluation of the thermal environment in vehicles - Part 3: Evaluation of thermal comfort using human participants (ISO 14505-3:2026)
Scope: This document specifies and gives guidelines for a standard test method for the assessment, using human participants, of thermal comfort in vehicles. It is not restricted to any particular vehicle but provides the general principles that allow assessment and evaluation. The method can be used to determine a measure of the performance of a vehicle for conditions of interest, in terms of whether it provides thermal comfort to people or not. This can be used in vehicle development and evaluation.
This document is applicable to all types of vehicles, including cars, buses, trucks, off-road vehicles, trains, aircraft, ships, submarines, and to the cabins of cranes and similar spaces. It applies where people are enclosed in a vehicle and when they are exposed to outside conditions. For those exposed to outside conditions, such as riders of bicycles or motorcycles, drivers of open sports cars and operators of fork lift trucks without cabins, vehicle speed and weather conditions can dominate responses. The principles of assessment, however, still apply.
This document applies to both passengers and operators of vehicles where its application does not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.
It describes the principles of the assessment and evaluation of thermal comfort, including the use of test methods and trials. It also describes subjective methods that can be used in assessment.

It specifies the behaviours that are required for PDCMS, and the system test criteria necessary to verify that a given implementation meets the requirements of this document. Implementation choices are left to system designers wherever possible.
Systems that include other countermeasures such as evasive steering are not within the scope of this document.
Responsibility for the safe operation of the vehicle remains with the driver.
This document applies to light duty passenger vehicles. It does not apply to other vehicle categories such as heavy vehicles or motorcycles. PDCMS are not intended for off-road use.

b) renamed all "OCTT" references in part 5 and 6 to "Test System" based on IEC feedback;
c) structural changes to the part 6 testcase descriptions to improve readability;
d) continuous improvements to part 6 testcase descriptions based on feedback from active certification program and CWG taskgroup meetings.

Intelligent transport systems -- Pedestrian detection and collision mitigation systems (PDCMS) -- Performance requirements and test procedures
Scope: ISO 19237:2017 specifies the concept of operation, minimum functionality, system requirements, system interfaces, and test procedures for Pedestrian Detection and Collision Mitigation Systems (PDCMS). It specifies the behaviours that are required for PDCMS, and the system test criteria necessary to verify that a given implementation meets the requirements of this document. Implementation choices are left to system designers wherever possible.
PDCMS reduce the severity of pedestrian collisions that cannot be avoided, and may reduce the likelihood of fatality and severity of injury. PDCMS require information about range to pedestrians, motion of pedestrians, motion of the subject vehicle (SV), driver commands and driver actions. PDCMS detect pedestrians ahead of time, determine if detected pedestrians represent a hazardous condition, and warn the driver if a hazard exists. PDCMS estimate if the driver has an adequate opportunity to respond to the hazard. If there is inadequate time available for the driver to respond, and if appropriate criteria are met, PDCMS determine that a collision is imminent. Based upon this assessment, PDCMS will activate CWs and vehicle brakes to mitigate collision severity. This document, while not a collision avoidance standard, does not preclude a manufacturer from implementing collision avoidance with PDCMS.
Systems that include other countermeasures such as evasive steering are not within the scope of this document.
Responsibility for the safe operation of the vehicle remains with the driver.
ISO 19237:2017 applies to light duty passenger vehicles (see 3.6). It does not apply to other vehicle categories such as heavy vehicles or motorcycles. PDCMS are not intended for off-road use.
