IET code of practice on electric vehicle charging equipment installation

This Code of Practice is a development of Part 7 of the Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) and Guidance Note 7: Special Locations.

Aimed at experienced electricians interested in understanding a wide range of equipment and systems available, it covers the specialised installation requirements of electric vehicle charging equipment in public, private and commercial locations.

It provides detailed on-site guidance and recommendations on all aspects of the installation from the origin of the electrical supply, through distribution and final circuits, installation of the charging equipment itself to the cable between the charging equipment and vehicle's electrical inlet.

Also included are related issues of site layout and planning and subsequent inspection, testing, certifi cation and maintenance of installations.

The Code of Practice includes an overview of all types of equipment, connectors and cables that an installer is likely to encounter and provides detailed references to all relevant standards and regulatory requirements in the UK.
