Working Group 1

Scope: Create awareness, and spread the word regarding the worldwide implementation of the existing ISO 17840 standard for road vehicles (cars, buses, coaches, light, and heavy commercial vehicles)

 
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

  • Group 7. Agriculture, construction, heavy machinery and mining vehicles
