IEC 62196-1:2011 is applicable to plugs, socket-outlets, connectors, inlets and cable assemblies for electric vehicles (EV), herein referred to as “accessories”, intended for use in conductive charging systems which incorporate control means, with a rated operating voltage not exceeding:
– 690 V a.c. 50 Hz – 60 Hz, at a rated current not exceeding 250 A,
– 1 500 V d.c. at a rated current not exceeding 400 A. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2003 and constitutes a technical revision. The main changes from the previous edition are as follows:
– increase in d.c.voltage for accessories;
– permitted use of accessories with vehicles complying with Subclause 7.2.3.1 of 61851-1:2010;
– minor changes to definitions; – additional voltage and current ratings (Clause 5) and test values (Clause 12, 13,);
– removal of markings to identify generic types of vehicle inlets and connectors;
– addition of a “high power d.c.” to the type of accessories covered by the Standard;
– modification of the description of “universal” and “basic” interfaces based on changes to 61851-1:2010;
– simplification of the marking requirements (Clause 8);
– additional requirements for accessories with shutters;
– division of Clause 9 to create Clauses 9 and 11;
– Clause 9: specific requirements for inlet, plug and socket-outlet;
– Clause 11: EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) requirements: the basic generic requirements for charging stations;
– renumbering of annexes.
