Working Groups 2-8

Scope: Develop non-binding free-of-charge guidelines to help manufacturers create rescue sheets and emergency response guides in line with existing ISO 17840 for other applications/systems that use batteries as their main power source and are not covered by ISO 17840, namely:

  • Group 2. Fixed and movable installations

  • Group 3. Maritime vehicles

  • Group 4. Motorsport vehicles

  • Group 5. Air vehicles

  • Group 6. Railroad vehicles
