The standard covers technician qualifications and site conditions, pre-work preparations, risk assessment, emergency response, specific workflows, and safety protocols during operation. In terms of scope, it focuses on maintenance for high-voltage systems in new energy vehicles and hydrogen supply systems in fuel-cell vehicles.

For workflow management, the code defines critical requirements across three stages: before, during, and after the job. It emphasizes basics like checking protective gear and tools, verifying the site environment, and identifying risks. Operational norms for repairing Class B voltage circuits are also explicitly detailed.

Implementing this standard offers technical guidance for standardized repairs and a benchmark for building service capabilities. It helps repair firms bolster risk prevention and standardize services — a positive step for ensuring safety and quality across the industry.
