EV CHARGING EQUIPMENT

I am hearing from my network of contractors, that have actually read the new 722, that they have been asking charging equipment manufactures for documentary proof to comply with Note 5 of 722.411.4.


They are getting knocked back for asking or in one case a Declaration that says the particular device complies with BS 7671. I think that is wrong to declare that as BS 7671 is an installation safety standard and not a product standard. I believe that as a minimum the equipment must comply with the Low Voltage Directive and be CE marked. I also believe that manufacturers have to issue a Declaration of Conformity. 


BS 7671 722 has numerous references to the various standards required such as BS EN 61851 that the equipment must comply with. I am thinking it may be illegal to offer the sale of equipment that does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and is not CE marked?


I am hoping the countries top man of equipment safety standards, Paul Skyrme , sees this post and will come on and give us his expert view?


Has any forum member asked for a Declaration of Conformity from EV charging equipment manufacturers and received one?

    LOL.

    These tick a lot of boxes!

     



    Operating Voltage

    230V AC 50Hz

    Max Current

    13A

    Rated Trip Current

    30mA

    Trip Speed

    Less than 40ms at 150mA residual current

    RCD Type

    Double pole – Passive (Latching)

    Breaking Capacity

    250A (Earth leakage)

    Continues to protect with

    Lost neutral/pulsating DC earth fault

    Operating Temperature Range

    -5°C to 40°C



    A word of advice to anyone picking up on this discussion, despite their apparently desirable attributes these RCD sockets are currently being shunned.
