This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2011-04-12. CENELEC members are bound to comply
with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard
the status of a national standard without any alteration.

Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on
application to the Central Secretariat or to any CENELEC member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and notified
to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.

CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus,
the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy,
Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia,

Foreword
The text of document 69/173/FDIS, future edition 2 of IEC 61851-1, prepared by IEC TC 69, Electric road
vehicles and electric industrial trucks, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and was
approved by CENELEC as EN 61851-1 on 2011-04-12.
This European Standard supersedes EN 61851-1:2001.
The main changes with respect to EN 61851-1:2001 are the following:
– revision of connector definitions and current levels (Clause 8);
– modification definition of pilot wire to pilot function;
– division of Clause 9 to create Clauses 9 and 11;
– Clause 9: specific requirements for inlet, plug and socket–outlet;
– Clause 11: EVSE requirements: the basic generic requirements for charging stations;
– renumbering of annexes;
– deletion of previous Annex A and integration of charging cable requirements into new Clause 10;
– Annex B becomes Annex A and is normative for all systems using a PWM pilot function with a pilot
wire;
– Annex C becomes Annex B;
– replacement of previous Annex D (coding tables for power indicator) with B.4 in Annex B using new
values;
– new informative Annex C describing an alternative pilot function system.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN and CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2012-01-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2014-04-01
Annexes ZA, ZB and ZC have been added by CENELEC.

Special national conditions
Special national condition: National characteristic or practice that cannot be changed even over a long
period, e.g. climatic conditions, electrical earthing conditions.

NOTE If it affects harmonization, it forms part of the European Standard or Harmonization Document.

For the countries in which the relevant special national conditions apply these provisions are normative,
for other countries they are informative.

Clause  Special national condition

A-deviations
A-deviation: National deviation due to regulations, the alteration of which is for the time being outside the
competence of the CENELEC national member.

This European Standard does fall under LVD (2006/95/EC).

In the relevant CENELEC countries these A-deviations are valid instead of the provisions of the European
Standard until they have been removed.
