ISO 17409:2020 – Electrically propelled road vehicles – Conductive power supply – Safety requirements
This standard specifies the electrical safety requirements for conductive charging of EVs. It ensures that when an electric vehicle is connected to an external power supply (like a charging station), all the relevant safety protocols are followed to prevent electric shock, fire hazards, or system malfunctions.
The standard applies to both AC and DC charging scenarios and is vital for vehicle manufacturers, component suppliers, EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) providers, and testing bodies involved in EV development.
With the exponential growth of electric vehicles across the globe, safety regulations and international compliance standards like ISO 17409 have become non-negotiable. Governments and regulatory bodies are enforcing stricter norms for electrical safety, interoperability, and reliability in EVs and charging infrastructure. Certification to ISO 17409 provides a competitive edge, builds customer trust, and ensures your business complies with evolving global EV safety standards.
This standard supports safer vehicle-to-grid integration and reduces liabilities associated with EV system failures during charging.
Implementing ISO 17409:2020 brings measurable advantages to organizations in the EV ecosystem:
