System of the Month January 2026: EVSE testing for an independent institute

An independent testing institute extends its AC and DC CCS EVSE testing with an EVCA configuration. The system includes IEC 61851-23 test functions.

System of the Month January 2026: EVSE testing for an independent institute

EVSE test configuration

  • Independent testing institute
  • AC and DC CCS EVSE testing
  • IEC 61851-23 test functions

Charging-station tests in the laboratory

The institute examines how charging stations operate and behave electrically under controlled laboratory conditions.

EVCA as the charging station’s test partner

EVCA provides a defined test partner for the charging station and the measurement setup for the laboratory tests.

Hardware, test functions and standard edition

In this project, the installed hardware, selected test functions and applicable standard edition determine the tests that the institute can perform.
