1 Scope

GB 42295-2022 is the Chinese national standard on safety requirements for electric bicycles electrical, in the field of road vehicles engineering. It carries no /T suffix, which in the Chinese system means compliance is mandatory: a product or a practice within its scope has to meet it to be lawfully made, sold or carried out in China. It was issued on 29 December 2022 by the State Administration for Market Regulation; Standardization Administration of China, and has been in force since 1 January 2024. Classification: ICS 43.140, CCS Y14. This page is published from the official record of the standard held by the Chinese standards administration: the identification, the dates, the classification and the issuing body are taken from there. The clause text, the tables and the numeric limits are in the document itself, which is delivered complete in English translation.

This document specifies the requirements for electrical safety signs, warnings, wiring, wires, connections, voltage, insulation resistance, electric strength, heat generation, protection, temperature and humidity resistance, vibration and shock. It describes the corresponding test methods. This document applies to electric vehicles (hereinafter referred to as the vehicle) included in power-assisted bicycles defined in QB/T 1714. This document does not apply to vehicles with an on-board charger.
