ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

Introduction
The looming energy crisis and necessity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has forced vehicle
manufacturers to find ways to scale down how much energy their vehicles consume. The vehicles they are
currently developing are propelled either entirely or in part by electric energy. If this energy is generated
from renewable sources, this will weaken dependency on oil, improve the global energy efficiency and cut
CO emissions. However, a dedicated charging infrastructure is needed to charge the batteries that power
these vehicles.
Much of the standardization work on dimensional and electrical specifications of the charging infrastructure
and the vehicle interface is already treated in the relevant ISO or IEC groups. However, the question of
information transfer between the electric vehicles (EV) and electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) has
not been treated sufficiently.
This communication is key to optimizing energy resources and energy production systems so vehicles can
be charged cheaply and efficiently.
In this document, messages are exchanged between the vehicle and the infrastructure over single-pair
Ethernet (which is embedded in the cable assembly).
The relevant information on use-case definitions requirements can be found in ISO 15118-1. Network and
application protocol requirements can be found in ISO 15118-20, respectively.
