On May 21, SCU participated in the Electric Vehicle Charging System Seminar, hosted by TÜV SÜD Group and co-organized by Beijing Testin Communication Technology Co., Ltd. The event provided an opportunity for in-depth exchanges with industry experts and outstanding enterprise representatives on cutting-edge technologies and international certification challenges.
Focus on Change: Standard Upgrade and Global Market Challenges
China’s electric vehicle charging industry is developing rapidly, and new energy vehicle exports lead the world. However, the complex export certification process and insufficient understanding of regulations have caused many companies to face high time and economic costs when entering the international market.
Industry standards are also in a rapid iteration period:
- IEC 61851:2023 and IEC 62196 new versions of standards have been implemented.
- Information security standard EN 18031 has entered the mandatory stage.
- The market demand for high-power charging solutions has surged, placing higher demands on manufacturers’ technical capabilities.
TÜV SÜD: Empowering companies to overcome technical barriers
As a pioneer in the field of EV charger certification in China, TÜV SÜD relies on its deep technical accumulation and global experience to analyze the dynamics of standards and regulations for participants and provide a one-stop certification solution covering the entire chain.
Top experts share practical wisdom
At the technical standard level, TÜV experts deeply analyzed the technical points of IEC 61851-23:2023 charging piles/modules; the relevant requirements of EU RED network security EN18031-1/-2/-3:2024 were interpreted in detail; the latest regulations of online control box IC-CPD IEC 62752:2024 and special requirements of many countries were explained to help enterprises accurately grasp the technical specifications of charging equipment.
In the field of communication and interaction, TUV experts shared in depth about the charging pile communication standards and communication DIN70121/ISO15118 verification methods, and discussed the application and development trend of vehicle-pile information interaction technology.
In terms of certification and access, TUV experts introduced the access requirements for industrial EV chargers and EVSE in Europe, the United States, and many countries; the electromagnetic compatibility and wireless certification requirements of EVSE; and the latest regulatory requirements for PME protection devices OPDD in British AC charging piles, providing strong support for enterprises to understand the certification points of different markets around the world and plan market entry strategies.
This seminar provides key insights for SCU to grasp the evolution trend of international standards, optimize product design, and respond to the EU RED directive information security requirements and emerging technology challenges such as V2G. Participating in the industry’s top dialogue will further strengthen SCU’s core competitiveness in the field of EV charging technology and lay a solid technical and certification foundation for expanding the global market.
