Scope: This standard specifies design, dimensions and test requirements for halogen-free cables with
extruded insulation and sheath having a voltage rating of up to and including 450/750 V for flexible
applications under severe condition for the power supply between the electricity supply point or the
charging station and the electric vehicle (EV).
The EV charging cable is intended to supply power and if needed communication (details see
EN 61851-1 and the EN 62196 series) to an electric vehicle. The charging cables are applicable for
charging modes 1-3 of EN 61851-1. The cables in this standard with rated voltage 300/500 V are only
permitted for charging mode 1 of EN 61851-1.
The maximum conductor operating temperatures for the cables in this standard is 90 °C.
Cables, covered by this standard are understood without exception to be the pure cable
component, without any kind of accessories or plugs. They may be
a) an integral part of the vehicle (case A of EN 61851-1); or
b) the cable part of a detachable cable assembly with a vehicle connector and AC supply connection
to a socket outlet (case B of EN 61851-1); or,
c) permanently attached to a fixed charging point (case C of EN 61851-1).
This standard describes cables whose safety and reliability is ensured when they are installed and/or
used in accordance to the guide to use EN 50565-1 and Annex B.Cross References:IEC 61851-1EN 60811-508EN 61851-1IEC 60811-508IEC 60332-1-2:2004/AMD1:2015HD 308 S2:2001EN 50289-4-17:2015EN 50525-1:2011IEC 60811-404:2012IEC 60811-403:2012ISO 14572:2011EN 60811-401:2012EN 50395:2005EN 60811-404:2012EN 590:2013IEC 60811-509:2012EN 60811-505:2012EN 228:2012ISO 22241-1:2006EN 60811-503:2012EN 60811-506:2012ISO 48:2010IEC 60228:2004IEC 60719:1992IEC 60811-504:2012IEC 60811-506:2012EN 62230:2007EN 50289-1-5:2001EN 60811-507:2012EN 60811-509:2012HD 605 S2:2008EN 50334:2001EN 60811-504:2012EN 60811-403:2012EN 60332-1-2:2004IEC 60811-505:2012IEC 60811-501:2012EN 60811-501:2012EN 50396:2005IEC 60811-503:2012IEC 60811-507:2012IEC 62230:2006EN 60228:2005IEC 60811-401:2012EN 62196-2:2017IEC 62196-2:2016ISO 4892-1:2016EN 62196-2:2012/A12:2014EN 50565-1:2014IEC 60364-7-722:2015ISO 4892-2:2013EN ISO 4892-1 (ISO 4892-1:2016) ASIEC 60445:2010HD 60364-7-718 (IEC 60364-7-718:2011) ASEN ISO 4892-2:2013EN 60445:2010Incorporates the following:Amendment, May 2019
