Each competition will have a different scrutineering method, and each Vehicle Type (EV, CV and DV) will do so. It is absolutely essential to have multiple team members read the competition rules in their entirety and then work through the entire scrutineering checklist in advance of inspection at competition to avoid spending valuable time making modifications to the vehicle. Most teams will have to make very minor adjustments to firewall or similar areas but keeping those changes at scrutineering minimal is a critical goal.

General
Please only bring a finished and tested accumulator to a competition. How can you prove to others that it works if even you do not know yet?
Always wear safety goggles!
Always wear insulating gloves if even one of your maintenance plugs are connected!
Be familiar with your design, it will be obvious to the scrutineer, and possibly dangerous if you do not know your own accumulator.
Be prepared, read the inspection sheets, have your documents and datasheets ready.
You have a fixed time to finish, after that you are back in the queue.
Equipment
Have your safety gear ready, you will need it anyway.
Have your tools ready, you will open up the accumulator and possibly the charger.
Bring a laptop and whatever hardware (can, ethernet, wifi, etc.) that you need to connect to the accumulator.
Bring your datasheets (paper or digital) and actually know what is in them.
Charger assembly
Must be a closed system
Have all your safety systems integrated and show them working. (interlock, shutdown, imd)
All metal parts must be grounded to PE.
Accumulator container
Your SES must be approved! Please submit it in time, depending on the competition your scrutineering might be cut short here.
Put all necessary markings on your container.
