Full title and description
ISO 6469-2:2022 — Electrically propelled road vehicles — Safety specifications — Part 2: Vehicle operational safety. This International Standard specifies operational safety requirements for electrically propelled road vehicles to protect persons inside and outside the vehicle during normal operation and foreseeable fault conditions.
Abstract
This part of ISO 6469 sets out vehicle-level operational safety requirements specific to electrically propelled road vehicles (battery-electric, fuel-cell, hybrid, etc.), addressing hazards arising from propulsion-related electrical and functional systems. It excludes detailed electrical shock testing (covered in other parts), comprehensive maintenance/manufacturing procedures, and specific driving automation provisions. Relevant exclusions and notes (for example reference to SAE J3016 for driving automation terminology) are stated in the standard.

Scope
Specifies operational safety requirements specific to electrically propelled road vehicles for protection of persons inside and outside the vehicle. The document addresses vehicle operational safety measures and protection against failures relevant to traction and related systems, while excluding motorcycles/mopeds (covered elsewhere), electromagnetic compatibility (referenced to other standards), and detailed procedures for manufacturing, maintenance and repair. The 2022 edition updates definitions (for example single-point failure) and clarifies requirements for driving-enabled modes and vehicle connection to external power.
Key topics and requirements
- Operational safety requirements for electrically propelled vehicles (vehicle-level measures to protect occupants and bystanders).
- Clarified definition and treatment of single-point failures and related mitigation measures.
- Requirements addressing the safe behaviour of vehicles when in driving-enabled modes.
- Requirements for safe connection to external electric power supplies (charging connection considerations).
- Exclusions and cross-references: EMC handled by other standards; manufacturing/maintenance guidance not provided.
- Removal/simplification of certain marking requirements compared with prior editions.
The list above summarizes the principal technical changes and focal areas introduced or clarified in the 2022 revision.
Typical use and users
Used by vehicle OEMs, systems and component suppliers (traction systems, battery/energy storage system designers), vehicle safety engineers, certification and testing laboratories, regulatory authorities, and technical committees developing national adoptions or complementary regulations. The standard is referenced when defining vehicle-level safety requirements, conformity assessment criteria, and for informing safety cases related to electrically propelled vehicles.
Related standards
ISO 6469 is a multipart series. Relevant related standards include ISO 6469-1 (on-board rechargeable energy storage system / RESS), ISO 6469-3 (electrical safety — protection of persons against electric shock), ISO 6469-4 (post-crash electrical safety), and other referenced documents such as ISO 17409 (vehicle conductive connection to external power) and normative references including SAE J3016 for driving automation terminology. Users should consult the other parts of ISO 6469 and referenced ISO/IEC documents for complete coverage of electrical, RESS and post-crash safety topics.

A: ISO 6469-2:2022 is Part 2 of the ISO 6469 series and defines vehicle operational safety requirements for electrically propelled road vehicles (e.g., BEVs, FCVs, HEVs) to protect persons inside and outside the vehicle during normal operation and foreseeable faults.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers vehicle-level operational safety measures, treatment of single-point failures, safe behaviour in driving-enabled modes, and safe connection to external power. It does not provide detailed manufacturing/maintenance procedures, nor comprehensive EMC requirements.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Vehicle manufacturers, component suppliers, safety and systems engineers, test laboratories, certification bodies and regulators involved in electric vehicle design, validation and approval.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: Current — ISO 6469-2:2022 is the published (2022) edition and replaces earlier editions (for example the 2018 and 2009 editions). National adoptions or republications may exist.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: Yes — ISO 6469 is a multipart series addressing electrically propelled road vehicle safety. Other parts cover the rechargeable energy storage system (Part 1), electrical safety/protection against electric shock (Part 3), and post-crash electrical safety (Part 4), among related documents.
