Korea: Changes to electric vehicle supply equipment rules
The “Technical regulation of Electric vehicle supply equipment” has been revised.
Primary content of the revision:
(1) (Grade Subdivision) The differentiation of products exhibiting exceptional weighing performance through the subdivision of tolerance grades.
* Alternating Current (AC): Previously within ±1.0% (single class), now subdivided into 0.5 class (±0.5%), 1.0 class (±1.0%) (two classes).
* Direct Current (DC): Formerly within ±2.5% (single class), now subdivided into 0.5 class (±0.5%), 1.0 class (±1.0%), 2.5 class (±2.5%) (three classes).
(2) (Deregulation) Streamlining of testing parameters unrelated to weighing performance.
* (E.g) for minor software(SW) function modification: (Previous) change approval after necessitating SW identification, (current) it is reduced to a notification process only.
(3) (Clarification of Terms): Enhancement of technical regulation clarity through precise terminology rearrangement.
