Full title and description

STB / BS ISO 19813:2006 — Road vehicles — Ignition systems — Test methods and requirements for high voltage boots on plug‑top coils and pencil coils. This standard specifies test methods and minimum requirements for high‑voltage boots used with plug‑top (coil‑on‑plug) and pencil (distributor‑type) ignition coils in road vehicles.

Abstract

ISO 19813:2006 defines electrical, mechanical and environmental tests (for example dielectric strength, leakage, sealing and temperature/ageing resistance) and acceptance criteria for high‑voltage boots fitted to plug‑top and pencil ignition coils. It is intended to ensure reliable insulation and service life of ignition boots used in road vehicle ignition systems.

Scope

This standard applies to high‑voltage insulating boots used on plug‑top and pencil ignition coils for road vehicles. It specifies test procedures and performance requirements intended to verify electrical insulation, environmental resistance, mechanical fit and durability so that boots maintain safe operation over expected service conditions. It does not define vehicle‑level engine management requirements but focuses on the component (boot) test methods and acceptance criteria.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and types of high‑voltage boots for plug‑top and pencil coils.
• Electrical tests: dielectric strength, leakage current, partial discharge/insulation integrity.
• Mechanical and dimensional checks to ensure correct fit and retention on coil/plug.
• Environmental and ageing tests: temperature cycling, ozone exposure, humidity, vibration and chemical resistance.
• Acceptance criteria: pass/fail thresholds for insulation, leakage and mechanical performance.
• Marking and traceability recommendations for component identification.

Typical use and users

Primary users are road‑vehicle component manufacturers (ignition coil and boot producers), OEM powertrain/electrical engineers, aftermarket parts suppliers, test laboratories and certification/quality assurance teams who need standardized methods to verify insulation performance and durability of ignition boots. Maintenance and procurement specialists may also reference the standard when specifying replacement parts.

Related standards

ISO 19813 sits within the suite of ISO standards maintained by ISO/TC 22 (road vehicles) and its subcommittees for electrical/electronic components. It is commonly used alongside other component‑level and vehicle electrical standards published or maintained by ISO/TC 22/SC 32 and national adoptions such as BS ISO 19813:2006. Users should consult other ignition‑system and vehicle electrical standards when specifying system‑level requirements.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 19813:2006 is an international standard specifying test methods and requirements for high‑voltage insulating boots used on plug‑top and pencil ignition coils in road vehicles. It was also published in national form as BS ISO 19813:2006.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers component‑level electrical, mechanical and environmental tests (for example dielectric strength, leakage, sealing, temperature and ageing resistance) plus associated acceptance criteria for high‑voltage boots. It does not cover system‑level engine management requirements.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Component manufacturers (boots and coils), OEM electrical and powertrain engineers, test houses, quality and compliance teams, and aftermarket suppliers use the standard to verify performance and durability of ignition boots.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The ISO catalogue shows ISO 19813:2006 as published and subsequently confirmed in periodic reviews (the ISO entry indicates confirmation actions in 2010 and later reviews, and the ISO record was last shown as confirmed during its review cycle). Users should check the ISO catalogue or their national standards body for the absolute current status before relying on the standard for certification.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is a component‑level standard produced under ISO/TC 22 (road vehicles), SC 32 for electrical/electronic components and sits alongside other ignition and electrical component standards developed by that technical committee; it is not presented as a numbered multi‑part series but as a single part addressing high‑voltage boots.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Ignition boot, high‑voltage boot, plug‑top coil, pencil coil, dielectric strength, leakage, environmental ageing, road vehicles.
