Ta del standarda IEC 62196 se uporablja za vtiče, vtičnice, konektorje, uvodnice (v nadaljnjem besedilu: »priključki«) in kabelske sestave na električnih vozilih, ki so namenjeni sistemom kabelskega napajanja, ki vključujejo krmilno sredstvo z nazivno obratovalno napetostjo, ki ne presega napetosti:
– 690 V za izmenični tok, 50–60 Hz, pri nazivnem toku, ki ne presega 250 A,
– 1500 V za enosmerni tok pri nazivnem toku, ki ne presega 800 A.
Te priključke in kabelske sestave lahko namestijo le poučene osebe, (IEV 195-04-02) ali usposobljene osebe (IEV 195-04-01).
Ti priključki in kabelski sestavi so namenjeni za uporabo pri tokokrogih, navedenih v standardu IEC 61851 (vsi deli), ki delujejo pri različnih napetostih in frekvencah ter lahko vključujejo malo napetost in komunikacijske signale.
Ti priključki in kabelski sestavi so namenjeni za uporabo pri temperaturi okolja, in sicer med –30 °C in +40 °C.
OPOMBA 1: V nekaterih državah lahko veljajo drugačne zahteve.
OPOMBA 2: V naslednji državi velja –35 °C: SE.
OPOMBA 3: Proizvajalec lahko poveča temperaturno območje pod pogojem, da so zagotovljene informacije o posebnem območju.
Ti priključki se lahko priključijo samo na kable z vodniki iz bakra ali bakrove zlitine.
Priključki, zajeti v tem dokumentu, so namenjeni uporabi v napajalni opremi za električna vozila v skladu s standardom IEC 61851 (vsi deli).
Ta dokument se ne uporablja za standardne vtiče in vtičnice za način 1 ali način 2 v skladu s točko 6.2 standarda IEC 61851-1:2017.

170 FOREWORD
171 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization
172 comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to
173 promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and
174 electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards,
175 Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter
176 referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National
177 Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International,
178 governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation.
179 IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with
180 conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
181 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
182 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
183 interested IEC National Committees.
184 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
185 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
186 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
187 misinterpretation by any end user.
188 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
189 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
190 between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated
191 in the latter.
192 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
193 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
194 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
195 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
196 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
197 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
198 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
199 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
200 Publications.
201 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
202 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
203 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
204 patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
205 International Standard IEC 62196-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 23H: Plugs, socket-
206 outlets and couplers for industrial and similar applications, and for electric vehicles, of IEC
207 technical committee 23: Electrical accessories.
208 This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2014 and constitutes a
209 technical revision.
210 This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
211 edition:
212 a) deletion of references to Universal AC and DC Interfaces;

oSIST prEN IEC 62196-1:2020
62196-1/Ed.4/CDV © IEC(E) 7 23H/461/CDV
213 b) additional requirements for contact materials and plating;
214 c) changes to the Temperature rise test to include additional points of measurement;
215 d) additional tests for accessories to address thermal stresses and stability, mechanical wear
216 and abuse, and exposure to contaminants.
217 e) Editing to relocate information and requirements for DC charging in IEC 62196-3.
218 The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
23H/---/FDIS 23H/---/RVD
219
220 A list of all the parts in the IEC 62196 series, under the general title Plugs, socket-outlets,
221 vehicle connectors and vehicle inlets – Conductive charging of electric vehicles, can be found
222 on the IEC website.
223 Subsequent parts of IEC 62196 deal with the requirements of particular types of accessories.
224 The clauses of these particular requirements supplement or modify the corresponding clauses
225 in Part 1.
226 In this standard, the following print types are used:
227 – requirements proper: in roman type;
228 – test specifications: in italic type;
229 – notes: in smaller roman type.
230 The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
231 the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
232 related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
233 • reconfirmed,
234 • withdrawn,
235 • replaced by a revised edition, or
236 • amended.

238 INTRODUCTION
239 IEC 61851 series specifies requirements for EV conductive charging systems.
240 IEC 62196 series specifies the requirements for plugs, socket-outlets, vehicle connectors,
241 vehicle inlets and cable assemblies as described in the IEC 61851 series.
242 Some charging can be achieved by direct connection from an electric vehicle to standard
243 socket-outlets connected to a supply network (mains or electrical grid).
244 Some modes of charging require a dedicated supply and charging equipment incorporating
245 control and communication circuits.
246 IEC 62196 covers the mechanical, electrical and performance requirements for plugs, socket
247 outlets, vehicle connectors and vehicle inlets for the connection between the EV supply
