Charging Pile and Charging Gun as Electrical Devices Require CE certification for the EU Market
Charging piles are used to recharge electric vehicles, functioning much like gas pumps that refuel cars at gas stations. These piles are typically designed as individual charging stations and are generally connected to a 220-240 VAC power supply. They convert the high-voltage AC to a lower DC voltage and current suitable for safely charging vehicles. Charging piles can be installed on the ground or mounted on walls and are commonly found in public places, residential areas, and charging stations, supporting various types of electric vehicles at different voltage levels. However, to sell charging piles safely within the EU, obtaining CE certification is mandatory.
Key directives and standards include:
- LVD Directive
- EMC Directive / RoHS Directive
- EN 61851 Standard
1. LVD Insulation
Necessary insulation tests to prevent leakage currents in the device.
2. LVD High Voltage
Resistance testing of all accessible materials under normal conditions.
3. LVD Residual Current
Checks for leakage current caused by high ground resistance or contact issues in grounding cables.
4. LVD Grounding
Soil continuity tests between the PE conductor and exposed metal parts, among other checks.
Compliance with EMC Directive
The equipment must comply with the EU Declaration of Conformity under EMC Directive 2014/30/EU. The compliance is demonstrated by listing the relevant standards and report numbers in the documentation, ensuring the equipment has been tested against European safety standards.
