Analysis of CE Certification Standards for Charging Stations
I. Major EU Directives Covered by CE Certification for Charging Stations
1. Low Voltage Directive LVD 2014/35/EU
Applicable Voltage Range: AC 50–1000V, DC 75–1500V
Main Concerns: Protection against electric shock, insulation structure, electrical clearance, temperature rise, grounding
2. Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive EMC 2014/30/EU
Requires charging stations to not generate excessive electromagnetic interference (EMI) and must also have immunity to external interference (EMS).
3. Radio Equipment Directive RED 2014/53/EU (if the equipment contains wireless modules, such as WiFi, Bluetooth, 4G, etc.)
Ensuring the safety of wireless communication equipment and preventing interference to people and other equipment.
4. Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC (if the product has electrically operated lifting or rotating parts, etc.)
5. RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU (and its revisions) 2015/863)
Restriction on the use of hazardous substances such as lead, cadmium, mercury, and hexavalent chromium
II. Commonly Used Harmonized Standards for CE Certification (Main Test Basis)
Electrical Safety (LVD Related):
EN IEC 61851-1: General Requirements for Electric Vehicle Power Supply Systems
EN IEC 61851-21-2: EMC Standards for EVSE and EV Communication Protocols
EN IEC 60335-1: Electrical Safety of Household Appliances (Applicable to Portable Chargers)
EN 60204-1: Electrical Safety of Industrial Machinery (e.g., Commercial Fast Charging Stations)
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC):
EN 61000-6-1 / 6-3: General Immunity and Emission Standards
EN 55032 / EN 55035: Electromagnetic Compatibility of Multimedia Equipment
EN 61000-4-2~4-6: Immunity Tests for Electrostatic Discharge, Electrical Fast Pulse, Surge, etc.
Wireless Communication (RED):
EN 301 489 Series: EMC Testing for Wireless Devices
EN 300 328: WiFi and Bluetooth Devices in the 2.4GHz Band
EN 301 511 / EN 301 908: Mobile Communication Modules (3G/4G)
III. Overview of the CE Certification Process
1. Product Assessment and Standard Determination
Identify applicable directives and testing standards (LVD, EMC, RED, RoHS, etc.)
2. Technical Documentation Preparation
Including product manuals, electrical diagrams, structural diagrams, risk analysis, bill of materials, test reports, etc.
3. Third-Party Laboratory Testing (Optional)
Testing by a notified body is not mandatory, but testing is recommended for high-risk products or those with wireless functionality.
4. Preparation of Declaration of Conformity (DoC)
The manufacturer signs the CE Declaration of Conformity, indicating which directives and standards are complied with.
