Foreword
Considering the lack of widespread connection devices meeting the requirements of EV charging
system in Europe, the CENELEC Technical Board asked Technical Committee TC 69X to prepare a
technical report based on the functional requirements of EN 61851-1.
The text of the draft was approved by TC 69X on 2001-09-25 and endorsed by the CENELEC
Technical Board on 2001-12-04.
CLC TC69X/WG3 is proposing, at this stage two different sets of requirements (characteristics and
compatibility requirements) for connection devices suitable for EV charging, corresponding to two
different approaches:
Approach 1: Electric vehicles should benefit from existing infrastructure. Compatibility requirements
allow them to be charged on widely used standardized socket-outlets and to optimize the power
transfer from the supply network.
Approach 2: Electric vehicles may only be charged on dedicated socket-outlets. The infrastructure
(connection devices, connection to the distribution system, communication links,.) permits only
mode 3 charging and prevents compatibility with existing socket outlets.
As a consequence, in this report two different types of specific connection devices are dealt with:
type 1 connection devices and type 2 connection devices.
WG3 has compared technical solutions proposed by the industry and proposed draft standard sheets
(in annexes).
The next step is to issue standard sheets in co-operation with IEC/SC23H/WG6. When this report was
prepared, the document circulated in IEC was 23H/95/NP (future IEC 62196).

1 Scope
This Technical report applies to connection devices specially designed for the purpose of delivering
energy from the main supply to electric vehicles, jointly with additional control functions according to
EN 61851-1.
The aspects covered include characteristics and compatibility requirements :
Connection devices addressed by this report have the following characteristics :
− rated voltage: 230/400 V,
− rated current: up to 32 A per phase,
− single or three phases,
− suitable for mode 1, 2 and 3 (according to EN 61851-1).
Connection devices (accessories) include socket-outlet, plug, connector and vehicle inlet.

3 Definitions
3.1 Definitions based on EN 61851-1
3.1.1
EV supply equipment (EVSE)
the conductors, including the phase, neutral and protective earth conductors, the EV couplers,
attachment plugs, and all other accessories, devices, power outlets or apparatuses installed
specifically for the purpose of delivering energy from the premise wiring to the EV and allowing
communication between them if required
3.1.2
control pilot
the control conductor in the cable assembly connecting the in-cable control box or the fixed part of the
EVSE, and the EV earth through the control circuitry on the vehicle. It may be used to perform several
functions
