OLEV Installation Auditor problems

whjohnson

It would appear that third party less than qualified and experienced individuals are being engaged as clipboard warriors to audit new EV charger installs.

Is there a publically available list of OLEV appointed EV charger installation auditors somewhere online?

Something smells very strongly of fish, and it isn't the charger units.

Cannot comment upon individual cases, but for a flavour -

Comments welcome.

  • Since the requirement for spds was written by a manufacturer (kirsty from surge protective devices) as part of the jpel committee, as is the requirement for afdd (Paul from Hager) I'd like to see some of there scientific data to support there blanket introduction. Or ideed their risk assessment for inclusion in the regs.

    I also wonder which other wiring regulations were written and introduced by manufacturers.

    Point being why are manufacturers involved in writing regulation? Vested interests.

    This is definitely NOT the case. The requirements are not written by an individual, or a single organisation.

    Similarly.

    Requirements align with those in international standards HD 60364 and IEC 60364.
    International requirements are agreed by consensus of the whole committee responsible.

    Any particular national requirements are agreed by consensus in our national committee (JPEL/64).

    So, I guess there's some sort of "conspiracy theory" circling the interwebby thing?

    And who sits on the JPEL/64 committee and in what capacity? Moreover, who else do they represent in their 'day jobs'?

    Have a look in the front of BS 7671.
