EV charging equipment provides controlled energy transfer to electric vehicles and is classified as AC or DC charging equipment. Testing considers rated inputs and outputs, charging interfaces, connection methods and operating environments, covering electrical safety, control communication and environmental protection.
Key checks cover protective grounding, insulation, protection against electric shock, abnormal power interruption, temperature rise and connector status detection. Vehicle connection, charging start and stop, and fault handling are verified. DC models also require assessment of coordination among power modules, output control and insulation monitoring.
GTG Group develops testing plans based on the target market, product configuration and existing reports, providing document review, sample validation, issue analysis, corrective retesting and certification application support. Coordinated assessment of the complete product, critical components and system interfaces helps manufacturers define the project scope and prepare technical documentation.

Testing of the complete product, critical components and system interfaces against applicable standards and agreed operating conditions
| Test Category | Assessment Basis & Scope |
|---|---|
| General Requirements | Within its applicable scope, IEC 61851-1 is referenced to assess charging equipment characteristics, connection conditions and electrical safety. |
| Interfaces & Communication | Validation items are determined by the AC or DC configuration, target vehicle interface and control protocol. |
| EMC & Environment | Emissions, immunity and enclosure protection tests are determined by equipment category, power, installation environment and target market. |
| Abnormal Conditions | Protection responses are verified under short-circuit, overload, control fault and communication fault conditions. Specific tests are determined by the applicable standards and system configuration. |
| Environment & Reliability | Environmental, mechanical and continuous-operation tests are developed according to indoor or outdoor use, installation method and product claims. |
The applicable standards editions and scope are confirmed during planning. Reference:IEC 61851-1。
