Scrutineering

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.

Accumulator Inspection

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.

Charger assembly

Must be a closed system

Have all your safety systems integrated and show them working.

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! It has to be clear that it is an accumulator and who it belongs to.
