IEC 62893-1:20 17（E）规定了额定电压不超过0.6/1 kV AC或不超过1 500 V DC的带挤压绝缘和护套的电缆的结构、尺寸和测试要求，用于充电站的电源点和电动汽车（EV）之间的电源在恶劣条件下的灵活应用。 电动汽车充电电缆旨在为电动汽车或插电式混合动力汽车（PHEV）供电，并在需要时提供通信（详情请参见IEC 62196系列和IEC 61851-1）。充电电缆适用于IEC 61851-1的充电模式1至4。额定电压300/500 V的普通工作电缆仅允许用于IEC 61851-1的充电模式1。IEC 62893本部分电缆的最高导体温度为90 oC。IEC 62893-3（交流充电模式1至3）和未来的IEC 62893-4（直流充电模式4）中规定了特定类型的电缆。 这些部分在下文中统称为“特定规格”。 规定的试验方法见IEC 62893-2、IEC 60245-2、IEC 60332-1-2、IEC 62821-1:20 15附录B和IEC 60811的相关部分，如规范性参考文献中所列。

IEC 62893-1:2017(E) specifies construction, dimensions and test requirements for cables with extruded insulation and sheath having a voltage rating of up to and including 0,6/1 kV AC or up to and including 1 500 V DC for flexible applications under harsh conditions for the power supply between the electricity supply point of the charging station and the electric vehicle (EV).
The EV charging cable is intended to supply power and, if needed, communication (for details see the IEC 62196 series and IEC 61851-1) to an EV or plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV). The charging cables are applicable for charging modes 1 to 4 of IEC 61851-1. Ordinary duty cables with rated voltage 300/500 V are only permitted for charging mode 1 of IEC 61851-1. Maximum conductor temperature for the cables in this part of IEC 62893 is 90 oC.
The particular types of cables are specified in IEC 62893-3 (modes 1 to 3 for AC charging) and in the future IEC 62893-4 (mode 4 for DC charging).
These parts are collectively referred to hereafter as “the particular specifications”.
The test methods specified are given in IEC 62893-2, IEC 60245-2, IEC 60332-1-2, IEC 62821-1:2015, Annex B, and in the relevant parts of IEC 60811, as listed in the normative references.
