Scope:

Note: As requested by the responsible SDO, this NOI being reissued as the standard was in the initial stages of development for more than 12 months. An additional comment period of February 13 to March 5, 2024 (originally published on December 6, 2022).

 

This standard applies to electric vehicle chargers installed in public or private places and provides the definitions, requirements, and guidance for reliability during operation. The elements of this standard include, but are not limited to:

- Definition of reliability;

- Definition of parameters that may or may not have an impact on reliability;

- Methods for the calculation of reliability;

- Definition of charger up-time and downtime; and

- Reliability data reporting parameters.

Project need:

As the demand for EV charging infrastructure increases, there are key operational considerations that must be evaluated to support successful EV deployment. Public charging experiences must be positive for EV drivers while supporting competition and innovation in the EV charging products and services market. This will help increase consumer confidence in EVs, increase uptake, and ultimately help meet net-zero emissions targets. This document can be used by both the public and private sectors to help define the reliability of charging infrastructure

The system allows SCC-accredited Standards Development Organizations (SDOs), and members of the public, to be informed of new work in Canadian standards development, and allows SCC-accredited SDOs to identify and resolve potential duplication of standards and effort.

Individual SDOs are responsible for the content and accuracy of the information presented here. The text is presented in the language in which it was provided to SCC.
