Code of Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation (IET Codes and Guidance)

Product Information

The equipment will permit chargepoints to be installed in compliance with BS 8300-1:2018. The design must consider the needs of electric vehicle ( EV) drivers who may be disabled or have mobility issues Charging equipment Common requirements provide the Consumer with WRITTEN notice that they can cancel the Contract without penalty in the ‘Cancellation Period’ for specified circumstances (see 5.3.1 below) Where Code Members contract with Consumers to undertake work that is not paid for by credit card, they must provide the Consumer with an insurance policy in line with Section 7.3 below.

Code Members must make Consumers aware accurately and in writing of all the permission and approvals that may be needed for the Chargepoint they offer, including planning permission2, building regulations and connection requirements before any Contract is agreed. OZEV must receive data in full on the relevant due dates. If the data is incomplete, OZEV is unable to identify trends, develop insights and evaluate policy. Charging equipment shall be CE marked in accordance with EC Directive 768/2008/EC or have UKCA marking in accordance with Using the UKCA marking. any comparisons with other products or companies in their advertising materials are not deceptive, and are in line with the comparative advertising rules in the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 ('the CPRs')ensure that they and their sub-contractors have valid qualifications, including membership of one of the following Competent Persons. Approved Certifier Schemes: NICEIC, NAPIT, Elecsa, Stroma, Select Code Members must inform the Code Administrator and Consumers accurately about the arrangements they have in place to comply with this section of the Code. keep a record of the information they provided to a Consumer during a sales visit, or on which they rely in any verbal or written statements they make, however that information was conveyed (e.g. printed form, presentations on a laptop, scripts) for six years after the Chargepoint has been installed

The Code of Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation, 5th Edition is a well-established and authoritative guidance document providing a clear explanation of electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment and installation. It sets out the considerations and planning needed in advance and then covers the necessary physical and electrical requirements during the installation process. It also details what needs to be considered when undertaking electrical work on charging equipment in various locations - such as domestic dwellings, on-street locations, and commercial and industrial premises.AC charging equipment output power must be measured or calculated at a nominal supply voltage of 230Vac single-phase or 400Vac three-phase. If you are a manufacturer or supplier who wishes to apply for authorisation for your chargepoint units under this scheme, you must ensure they comply with the technical specifications laid out in this guidance. declare they will comply with the Iatest version of the Institute of Engineering and Technology Code of Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation(the IET Code)

You must clearly display details of any precautions necessary to ensure safe operation with active implantable medical devices on your charging equipment.This section applies to work carried out to existing Chargepoints, whether under guarantee or otherwise. The guidance on location and accessibility of charging points has been updated to take account of new standard PAS 1899:2022 Electric vehicles - Accessible EV charging points - Specification and the requirements of the Scotland Building Standards Division technical handbooks that came into force in June 2023. OZEV will accept data supplied from units that record energy consumption at intervals of up to a maximum of 30 minutes. Data field definitions Data field provide a separate dedicated final electrical circuit for the EV charging equipment protected by a suitable RCD, as required by the IET Code Install standard.

The Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021 came into force in Great Britain in June 2022, and apply to private charging points rated at not more than 50 kW, installed after 30 June 2022. The legislation requires charging points to include: The requirements for electrical safety in relation to a vehicle as storage system in parallel operation If a Consumer has a Complaint about a Code Member, they must raise the Complaint with the Code Member in the first instance. Code Members must have a process in place for resolving Complaints in a timely manner. The process is as follow: Developed by a technical committee of industry experts, the Code of Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation,5th Edition is essential reading for all installers of EV charging units and will also be of real value to all those involved in decisions regarding the rapidly developing EV charging infrastructure landscape.

On-Board Guide: Electrical Safety for Small Craft

Regulation 722.411.4.1 (i) of BS 7671 permits the direct connection of EV charging equipment to the PME earthing terminal in installations where the loading on the phases will be sufficiently well-balanced to prevent the PME earthing terminal rising above 70 V rms during open-circuit PEN conductor conditions. Fast DC charging equipment outlets must have an output that is greater than 3.5kW but not above 22kW. Semi-rapid DC (22kW to 50kW) comply with all applicable aspects of the Code when they are sub-contracted to install a Chargepoint by a non-member Electrical Equipment Safety Regulations 2016 (the 1994 Regulations continue to apply to electrical equipment placed on the market before 8 December 2016) all performance claims, testimonials and claims about time savings or financial benefits from Chargepoints and/ or Related Products are clearly attributed to a reputable source
