FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

6.3.10 De-energization of the power supply to the EV
6.3.10.1 General
If the signal status from the EV control energy transfer function no longer allows energization,
the power supply to the EV shall be interrupted but the control pilot circuit may remain in
operation.
Three shutdown procedures are possible:
• normal shutdown;
• error shutdown;
• emergency shutdown.
The DC EV supply equipment shall have a means to allow the user to initiate normal or
emergency shutdown.
Compliance is checked by inspection.
6.3.10.2 Normal shutdown
The DC EV supply equipment shall stop energy transfer by controlled interruption of DC output
current to the EV, where DC output current descends with a controlled slope under the control
of the EV and the DC EV supply equipment.
The data exchange and protocol are indicated in Annex EE.
Table 1 shows events and reducing conditions for normal shutdown.

The DC EV supply equipment shall stop the energy transfer by controlled interruption of the DC
output current to the EV, where the DC output current descends with a controlled slope, after
the error shutdown is triggered by the DC EV supply equipment or by a message from the EV.

6.3.10.4 Emergency shutdown
The DC EV supply equipment shall stop power transfer within 30 ms after the emergency
shutdown was triggered. The DC output voltage shall fall (between DC+ and DC−) ≤ 60 V DC
within 1 s after the emergency shutdown was triggered.
The emergency shutdown shall be initiated by:
– the voltage of the control pilot circuit < 2,0 V DC;
– disconnection of vehicle connector under load;
– the DC output voltage exceeds DC output voltage limit sent by the EV or exceeds 150 V
DC for more than 30 ms, as described in 6.3.9;
– reception of emergency shutdown signal from EV or initiated by the user.
The DC output voltage of the DC EV supply equipment shall not be greater than +2 % of the
rated DC output voltage.
Compliance is tested in accordance with DD.3.8.6.
7 Communications
Clause 7 of IEC 61851-1:2017 is replaced with the following.
Replacement:
7.1 General
This Clause 7 provides a general description and the basic requirements for the control
communication function. The specific procedure and protocol is described in Annex EE.
The DC EV supply equipment supplies energy in response to digital information received by the
EV.
NOTE This implies that the EV manages the battery charging. The corresponding desired voltage and current levels
are transmitted to the DC EV supply equipment by the EV.
7.2 System configuration
The communication between the DC EV supply equipment and the EV is established using the
pilot control function and via digital communication, as described in Annex EE. The DC EV
supply equipment supplies energy to the EV according to the parameters sent by the EV,
provided all conditions required as indicated in Clause 6 are satisfied.
NOTE This implies that the EV controls the energy transfer. The DC EV supply system acts as a slave to the EV.
The detailed operational procedure is given in Clause 6 and in Annex EE.
7.3 Digital communication between the DC EV supply equipment and the management
system
The telecommunication network or telecommunication port of the DC EV supply equipment,
connected to the telecommunication network, if any, shall comply with the requirements for
connection to telecommunication networks according to IEC 60950-1:2005, Clause 6,
IEC 60950-1:2005/AMD1:2009, Clause 6 and IEC 60950-1:2005/AMD2:2013, Clause 6.

8 Protection against electric shock
Clause 8 of IEC 61851-1 is applicable except as follows:
8.1 Degrees of protection against access to hazardous-live-parts
Replacement:
The EV supply equipment shall fulfil the following IP ratings for protection against electric shock:
– vehicle connector when mated with vehicle inlet: IPXXD;
– IP rating for dedicated DC accessories: IPXXB.
NOTE IP ratings for the enclosure are indicated in 12.3.1.

8.3 Fault protection
Subclause 8.3 of IEC 61851-1:2017 is replaced by the following:
8.3 Protective measures
8.3.1 General
Electrical separation between the primary and the secondary circuit according to IEC 61140
shall be provided. The following requirements shall be met:
• basic protection is provided by basic insulation, rated for the highest voltage present in the
equipment, between hazardous-live-parts, other circuits and exposed conductive parts of
the separated circuit;
and,
• fault protection is provided:
– by simple separation of the separated circuit from other circuits and earth;
and
– by a protective equipotential bonding interconnecting exposed conductive parts of the
separated circuit where more than one item of equipment is connected to the separated
circuit. This protective equipotential bonding system shall not be earthed.
Intentional connection of exposed-conductive-parts to a protective earthing conductor or to an
earthing conductor is not permitted.
