For the EU market, the implementation standards for new energy vehicle chargers are mainly formulated and managed by the European Commission for Standardization (CEN) and the European Organization for Electrical Standardization (CENELEC). The following are some implementation standards for new energy vehicle chargers in the European Union:
- IEC 61851-1: This is a standard developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for AC charging equipment. It specifies the technical requirements, safety performance, communication protocol, etc. of communication charging equipment to ensure that electric vehicles of different brands and models can be compatible with charging equipment.
- IEC 61851-23: This is a standard developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for DC fast charging equipment. It specifies the technical requirements, safety performance, communication protocol, etc. of DC fast charging devices to ensure that electric vehicles of different brands and models can be compatible with fast charging devices.
- EN 62196: This is a standard developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) for AC and DC charging interfaces. It specifies the connection method, cable specifications, communication protocol, and other requirements between plugs and sockets to ensure the interoperability and safety of charging devices.
- EN 61851-21: This is the communication protocol standard for electric vehicle charging equipment developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It specifies the communication protocol between AC and DC charging devices to ensure the reliability and safety of the charging process. These implementation standards play an important role in the EU market, ensuring that new energy vehicle chargers meet certain technical requirements and safety standards in the design, manufacturing, installation, and use process. Following these standards can improve the interoperability, safety, and reliability of new energy vehicle chargers, and promote the development of the new energy vehicle market. It should be noted that EU member states may have different regulations and requirements. Therefore, when selecting, installing, and using new energy vehicle chargers, it is recommended to follow local relevant regulations and standards, and consult professionals to ensure compliance with local requirements.
