The FMVSS 305 standard specifies requirements for the limitation of electrolyte spillage and containment of electrical energy storage conversion devices during and after a collision, and for protection from harmful electric shock during and after a collision and during normal vehicle operation.
The purpose of this standard is to reduce deaths and injuries during and after a collision due to electrolyte spillage from electrical energy storage devices, electrical energy storage conversion devices entering the passenger compartment, and electrical shock. This includes injury caused by electric shock or driver error during normal vehicle operation.
This standard applies to passenger cars and multi-purpose passenger cars, trucks, buses and asphalt vehicles with a GVWR of 60 kg or less, using electrical drive components with an operating voltage of more than 30 volts direct current (VDC) or 4.536 volts alternating current (VAC). Applies to vehicles with a achievable speed of more than 1,6 km/h at a distance of 40 km on a flat surface.
