This part of IEC 62840 provides the safety requirements for a battery swap system, for the purposes of swapping swappable battery system (SBS)/removable battery system (RBS) of electric vehicles. The battery swap system is intended to be connected to the supply network. The power supply is up to 1 000 V AC or up to 1 500 V DC in accordance with IEC 60038.
This standard also applies to battery swap systems supplied from on-site storage systems (e.g. buffer batteries).
Aspects covered in this standard:
• safety requirements of the battery swap system and/or its systems;
• security requirements for communication;
• electromagnetic compatibility (EMC);
• Marking and instructions;
• protection against electric shock and other hazards.
This standard is applicable to battery swap systems for EV equipped with one or more SBS/RBS.
This standard 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.
