|
Scope |
Electric and alternative
fueled vehicles present different hazards for first and second responders
than conventional gasoline internal combustion engines. Hydrogen vehicles
including Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCVs) involved in incidents may present unique
hazards associated with the fuel storage and high voltage systems. The
electrical hazards associated with the high voltage systems of
hybrid-electric vehicles and FCVs are already addressed in the parent
document, SAE J2990. This Recommended Practice therefore addresses electric issues by reference to J2990 and supplements J2990, to address the potential consequences associated with hydrogen vehicle incidents and suggest common procedures to help protect emergency responders, tow and/or recovery, storage, repair, and salvage personnel after an incident has occurred. Industry design standards and tools were studied and where appropriate, suggested for responsible organizations to implement. |
