Point detail

Acceptance criteria
During the test there shall be no evidence of:
(a)Fire;
(b)Explosion;
(c1)Electrolyte leakage if tested according to paragraph 6.4.1.1.:
  (i) For a period from the impact until 30 minutes after the impact there shall be no electrolyte spillage from the REESS into the passenger compartment.
  (ii) No more than 7 per cent by volume of the REESS electrolyte capacity shall spill from the REESS to the outside of the passenger compartment (for open type traction batteries a limitation to a maximum of 5 litres also applies).
(c2)Electrolyte leakage if tested according to paragraph 6.4.2.2.

For a high voltage REESS, the isolation resistance of the tested-device shall ensure at least 100 Ω/Volt for the whole REESS measured in accordance with Annex 4A or Annex 4B of this Regulation or the protection degree IPXXB shall be fulfilled for the Tested-Device.

If tested according to paragraph 6.4.2.2., the evidence of electrolyte leakage shall be verified by visual inspection without disassembling any part of the tested-device.

To confirm compliance to (c1) of paragraph 6.4.2.3. an appropriate coating shall, if necessary, be applied to the physical protection (casing) in order to confirm if there is any electrolyte leakage from the REESS resulting from the impact test. Unless the manufacturer provides a means to differentiate between the leakage of different liquids, all liquid leakage shall be considered as the electrolyte.
