Electric bike new standard in place EN 15194
Written by Robert Tuesday, 28 April 2009 00:43
The market for e-Bikes is about to change drastically. Beginning next year, it will no longer be possible to enter the booming e-Bike market in Europe by simply importing complete e-Bikes and/or components from China and selling them in Europe.
The new EN 15194 standard for EPACs (Electrically Power Assisted Cycles) is far more complicated than the CEN standards currently in force for conventional bicycles
That new standard is about to be implemented. The CEN Technical Committee TC333, with representatives from the bike industry and headed by Chairman Siegfried Neuberger from the German industry association Zweirad-Industrie-Verband (ZIV), expects the safety standard to be published beginning next year, along with an annex detailing EMC requirements. These Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) requirements contribute significantly to the complicated and costly new safety standards for electric bicycles.
EMC requirements are already applied throughout Europe to all kinds of electric appliances and vehicles like cars, motorcycles and mopeds. Electro Magnetic Compatibility requirements are designed to, for instance, ensure the safety of people who use a pacemaker or hearing-aid when driving cars or e-Bikes.
Once vehicles that use electronics have passed EMC testing they will obtain a CE mark. By the way, the EMC requirements are already in force throughout Europe, including all the e-Bikes (pedelecs) that are currently on the market.
Pedelecs that are to comply with the new EN 15194 EPAC safety standard will have to be tested in the same way as cars, motorcycles or mopeds. That means that, as TC333 chairman Siegfried Neuberger points out: “Complete bikes and/or electronic/electrical subassemblies will have to be tested.”
