1   Scope

This part of IEC 62196
is applicable to EV plugs, EV socket-outlets, vehicle connectors, vehicle inlets,
herein referred to as "accessories", and to cable assemblies for electric vehicles
(EV) intended for use in conductive charging systems which incorporate control means,
with a rated operating voltage not exceeding:

– 690 V AC 50 Hz to 60 Hz, at a rated current not exceeding 250 A;

– 1 500 V DC at a rated current not exceeding 800 A.

These accessories and cable assemblies are intended to be installed by instructed
persons (IEV 195–04–02) or skilled persons (IEV 195–04–01) only.
These accessories and cable assemblies are intended to be used for circuits specified
in IEC 61851 (all parts), which operate at different voltages and frequencies, and which can include extra-low
voltage and communication signals.
These accessories and cable assemblies are intended to be used at an ambient temperature
between −30 °C and +40 °C.

NOTE 1 In some countries, other requirements can apply.

NOTE 2 In the following country, −35 °C applies: SE.

NOTE 3 The manufacturer can enlarge the temperature range on the...
