No: FB)I 1035, Date: \Bhie} 2002. SUB: Fire safety Advisory(Guldelins for EV charging stations Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation Preamble ‘The transition to electric mobility is a promising global stategy for decarboizing the ‘uensport sector. India is amongst a handful of counties that support the global EV30@30 ‘campaign, which argets to have atleast 30% of new vehicle sles be electric by 2030. ‘An accessible and robust network of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure is an essential prerequisite to achieving this ambitious transition. The Government of India has ‘nattued various enabling polices to promote the development of the charging infastucture network ‘To align with the national level target the Government of Maharastra has issued “Maharashtra's Electric Vehiele Policy 2018", dated 14/02/2018, aa subsequently brought ina ‘revised policy ~ *Maharashre Eleccic Vehile Policy, 2021" dated 23/07/2021, Accontingly, rihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is preparing. guidelines to establish EV charging infrastucture within the BMC limi. In order to address fire conceras related to EV charging the Mumbai Fire brignde has coified Fre Safety Requirements for EV charging inftastructure ‘act. This is inline wit ising focus on safety of EV charging due to bitty fire incidences. ‘To ensue a safe charging and above all to protect charging stations in existing ‘esideal buildings, Commercial Buildings, Hospital buildings, Educational buildings, a Pubic parking lot (PPL) and especially inthe covered area and basements if any, fom the effets of evasttng irea specific approach is required. The protection of the lood-bearng structure and ‘he compartment elements is even more important when the packing area i loested ina public or residential building. Fletic vehicle fires in covered patking's, and garages are dangerous ‘and may lead to construction disasters with reversible eects, This department has ear issued Policy Guidelines wNo. FB/R-V/2169, dated 20/11/2019 for Fite safety measures to do the compliance for installation of Public Electric Vehicle Charging Sttion (PEVCS) in PPListeet parkingamenity parking sites in Greate Mumbsi Municipal Corporation.
