This document applies to voltage class B electric propulsion systems and connected auxiliary electric systems of electrically propelled road vehicles. It applies to electric circuits and components in these systems.

This document focuses on the characteristics at the DC voltage class B terminals of these components as specified in ISO 21498‑1. It describes testing methods, test conditions and test requirements for components exposed to electrical behaviour caused by the operation of electric loads and power sources.

This document does not cover electrical safety (see ISO 6469‑3 and the ISO 5474 series).
