scope:

This document in combination with ISO 5474-1 specifies requirements for conductive power transfer using DC between electrically propelled road vehicles and external electric circuits.

External electric circuits include external electric power supplies and external electric loads. This document provides requirements for charging mode 4, as defined in IEC 61851-1, including reverse power transfer. For vehicles equipped with a vehicle inlet according to IEC 62196-3 or IEC 62196-3-1, this document provides requirements regarding the power transfer with an isolated DC EV supply equipment according to IEC 61851-23.

NOTE Requirements for megawatt charging applications are under consideration. This document applies to the on-board sections of vehicle power supply circuits. It applies also to dedicated power supply control functions used for the connection of the EV to an external electric circuit.

It does not provide comprehensive safety information for manufacturing, maintenance and repair personnel.
