Industry Solutions | Maintenance Environment Requirements

New energy vehicle repair workshops have high voltage electrical safety risks, and safety management must be strengthened to prevent high voltage safety accidents. What are the requirements for repair workshops engaged in new energy vehicle repair industry? What are the requirements for maintenance personnel?

2. Work environment awareness

1. Site division and facility requirements:

The maintenance station should be divided into different functional areas according to the content of the maintenance work, such as the inspection area, maintenance area and spare parts room, etc. A distance that meets fire safety requirements should be left between each functional area, and marking lines and isolation facilities should be set up.

A temporary storage area for used electric vehicle batteries should be set up in the maintenance station. The area should comply with the regulations on production safety, fire protection and environmental protection, and regular safety inspections and removal should be carried out. High-voltage insulation blankets (rubber pads) should be laid in the inspection and maintenance work area of ​​high-voltage components to ensure safety.

2. Equipment requirements:

Maintenance stations should be equipped with relevant equipment and tools according to the maintenance service projects carried out, especially maintenance equipment for high-voltage components such as electric vehicle power battery systems, motors and electronic controls. The equipment should be inspected annually and calibrated regularly according to the prescribed cycle, and operators must strictly follow the operating procedures.

3. Safety requirements:

The maintenance site should avoid safety hazards such as moisture and water ingress in high-voltage system components and circuits. The ground should be dry and well ventilated to prevent unauthorized personnel from accidentally entering the work area.

Special workstations for electric vehicle maintenance should be planned in the maintenance area, which should be enclosed and isolated with protective fences. The fences should have obvious high-voltage hazard warning signs.

The maintenance workstation area should have clear rules and regulations and safety signs, including high voltage operation specifications, emergency handling specifications, etc.

4. Personnel requirements:

Practitioners need to have corresponding qualifications, especially those engaged in maintenance and repair of high-voltage system components should obtain an electrician’s special operations operation certificate.
