Frequently Asked Questions
MT 8 is a Technical Committee within the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It is named "TC 121/SC 121B/MT 8". This committee has published 66 standards.
MT 8 develops IEC standards in the area of Information technology. Currently, there are 66 published standards from this technical committee.
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the world's leading organization for the preparation and publication of international standards for electrical, electronic, and related technologies. Founded in 1906, the IEC provides a global platform for companies, industries, and governments to meet, discuss, and develop the international standards they require.
A Technical Committee (TC) in IEC is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
IEC 61439-7:2022 defines the specific requirements for assemblies for the following applications: marinas, camping sites, market squares and electric vehicle charging stations as follows:
- assemblies for which the rated voltage does not exceed 1 000 V AC or 1 500 V DC;
- assemblies intended for use in connection with the generation, transmission, distribution and conversion of electric energy, and for the control of electric energy consuming equipment;
- assemblies operated by ordinary persons (e.g. to plug and unplug of electrical equipment);
- assemblies intended to be installed and used in market squares, marinas, camping sites and other similar sites accessible to the public including temporary installations;
- assemblies intended for charging stations for electric vehicles (AEVCS) for Mode 3 and Mode 4. They are designed to integrate the functionality and additional requirements for electric vehicle conductive charging systems according to IEC 61851-1:2017.

– assemblies intended for use in connection with the generation, transmission, distribution and conversion of electric energy, and for the control of electric energy consuming equipment;
– assemblies operated by ordinary persons (e.g. plug and unplug of electrical equipment);
– assemblies intended to be installed and used in market squares, marinas, campsites and other similar outdoor public sites;
– assemblies intended for charging stations for electric vehicles (AEVCS) for Mode 3 and Mode 4. They are designed to integrate the functionality and additional requirements for electric vehicle conductive charging systems according to IEC 61851-1:2017.
This first edition cancels and replaces the relevant technical specification published in 2014. It constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous technical specification:
a new classification of the stationary ASSEMBLIES in accordance with their mechanical resistance (5.702);
a new Table 702 with the list of tests and relevant severities to which the ASSEMBLIES have to be subjected according to the classification mentioned at point a);
a new Annex (CC) with a new endurance test for the individual switching devices intended to be used in AEVSC, if they have not already been tested against this requirement;
a general editorial review and a technical revision. The contents of the corrigendum of August 2019 have been included in this copy.
