The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has introduced two new standards, IS 18590: 2024 and IS 18606: 2024, aimed at enhancing the safety and quality of electric vehicles (EVs) in the L, M, and N categories. These standards focus on critical components such as the powertrain and batteries, ensuring they meet stringent safety and performance requirements. Additionally, BIS has introduced IS 18294: 2023 for e-rickshaws and e-karts, covering their construction and functionality to ensure the safety of drivers and passengers. With these new additions, BIS now has a total of 30 standards dedicated to EVs and their accessories, playing a crucial role in promoting sustainable and efficient transportation in India.
The introduction of these standards marks a significant step towards enhancing the safety and quality of electric vehicles in India. By setting stringent safety requirements for powertrains and batteries, these standards ensure that EVs on Indian roads are reliable and secure, boosting consumer confidence and accelerating EV adoption. The standards for e-rickshaws and e-karts demonstrate BIS’s comprehensive approach to electric mobility, making it more accessible and safe for a broader segment of the population.
