New training for EV experts
High-voltage technology trainer Deniz Kartal founded an association that is developing a global training program for working on electric vehicles that is to be internationally recognized.
New training for EV experts
In 2015, the ÖVE guideline R19 was published, which regulates training to become a high-voltage technician in Austria. “The German training guideline BGI 8686 from 2010 was partly used as the basis for the ÖVE R19,” explains Deniz Kartal, technology trainer and managing director of Evalus Arbeitssicherheit und Gesundheitschutz GmbH at the EV Safety Day in the Pyramide Vösendorf. He points out that the planned amendment is also based on a draft from Germany, which could change at any time.
An amendment to the amendment is therefore inevitable. Another problem, according to Kartal: “Many manufacturers and importers train their technicians in one country, but this training is not recognized in other countries.” Furthermore, the current information would be aimed at employers and not training institutes. The result: “Each training institute interprets this information differently, so that the same level of training is not achieved in the end - this further complicates recognition,” says Kartal. Together with international experts from different areas, he founded the Ionitas association in December 2019. The aim is to create a training program for five consecutive “Electric Vehicle Access Levels” that are internationally recognized.
