SCOPE

(AS DEFINED IN ISO/IEC DIRECTIVES, PART 2, 14):

This international standard specifies the general safety requirements, electrical safety, functional safety, mechanical safety, reliability, test conditions and test methods, marking and description of Personal e-Transporters.

This standard is applicable to Personal e-Transporters which are used on the road or in the public space of electrically powered transport devices (i.e. no human (propulsion) power input) and where the speed control and/or the steering control is electrical/electronical, including self-balancing vehicles, e-scooters, etc.

PURPOSE AND JUSTIFICATION

INCLUDING THE MARKET RELEVANCE, WHETHER IT IS A PROPOSED HORIZONTAL STANDARD (GUIDE 108) AND RELATIONSHIP TO SAFETY (GUIDE 104), EMC (GUIDE 107), ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS (GUIDE 109) AND QUALITY ASSURANCE (GUIDE 102):

This International Standard proposal has been developed to cope with the rapidly evolving personnel e-transporters. The global market sizes and applications are expected to grow significantly. However, due to the appearance of personnel e-transporters in public spaces and roads, some products can reach speeds of 25 km/h or even higher.

FOREWORD 133

1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising 134 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote 135 international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To 136 this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, 137 Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC 138 Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested 139 in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-140 governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely 141 with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by 142 agreement between the two organizations. 143

2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international 144 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all 145 interested IEC National Committees. 146

3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National 147 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC 148 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any 149 misinterpretation by any end user. 150

4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications 151 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence 152 between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in 153 the latter. 154

5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity 155 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any 156 services carried out by independent certification bodies. 157

6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 158

7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and 159 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or 160 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and 161 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC 162 Publications. 163

8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is 164 indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 165

9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of 166 patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. 167

INTRODUCTION 196

This International Standard has been developed to cope with the rapidly evolving personnel e-197 transporters. The global market sizes and applications are expected to grow significantly 198 However, due to the appearance of personnel e-transporters in public spaces and roads, 199 some products can reach speeds of 25 km/h or even higher. In order to protect safety for 200 persons and public facilities, besides basic safety requirements, comprehensive safety 201 requirements and test methods such as riding safety for people and road signs for e-202 transporters shall also be considered. Based on the current situation, this international 203 standard provides comprehensive safety requirements and corresponding test methods for 204 personnel e-transporters, which is convenient for manufacturers and test departments to use. 205 This international standard is not a horizonal standard and it is a safety standard. 206

Protective circuit and safety analysis 1073

The battery system protective circuit of the PeTs should be able to maintain the battery 1074 working within its normal charging and discharging working range within the entire life cycle of 1075 PeTs. If it exceeds the normal operating limit of battery, the protective circuit can limit or close 1076 the charge and discharge process to prevent exceeding the normal operating limits. The 1077 compliance can be verified by checking the battery specifications and safety analysis and test 1078 of this standard. Safety analysis, if necessary, may be carried out as follows: 1079

a) The electrical system of PeTs is subjected to potential hazard analysis (including 1080 FMEA) to analyze whether possible hazards (e.g., fire, explosion, etc.) are identified or 1081 avoided by design or other means. The safety analysis method may comply with the 1082 requirements of IEC 60812: 2018; 1083

b) The analysis in a) identifies potential faults in the system that may cause hazardous 1084 conditions such as fire, explosion, etc., and lists the type and class of protection the 1085 system provides to prevent such faults. Single fault condition of protective components 1086 in protective circuit/system should be considered in the analysis; 1087

c) In the analysis in a), critical safety (namely the safety protection for hazardous 1088 situations such as fire, explosion, etc. after fault) should not rely on active protective 1089 devices for protection, unless one of the following conditions is met: 1090

i) in addition to the active protective device, there is a redundant passive protective 1091 device; 1092

ii) in addition to the active protective device, there is a redundant one. When the first 1093 level active protective device is powered off or fails, the redundant active 1094 protective device can also provide protection normally; 1095

d) when the circuit is powered off or the active protective device fails, the entire circuit is 1096 safe. 1097

e) Devices that affect critical safety in c) should pass specific functional tests, which may 1098 be carried out by reference to the appropriate standard for functional safety unless 1099 they are evaluated in other tests in this standard. 1100
