Terms referencing EN 63584
Standard or regulation
EN 63584
EN IEC 63584 is the European and international standards-track home for OCPP, formalising Open Charge Point Protocol communication between charge points and charging station management systems. In UK terminology it supports OCPP as a recognised interoperability standard for EV charging infrastructure.
EN 63584-201
EN IEC 63584-201 is part of the OCPP standards series and aligns OCPP 2.0.1 with a formal EV charging communication standard. On EVCP Info, it links related terminology to the relevant regulatory, standards or compliance framework used by UK-focused audiences.
EN 63584-210
EN IEC 63584-210 is part of the OCPP standards series and aligns OCPP 2.1 with a formal EV charging communication standard. On EVCP Info, it links related terminology to the relevant regulatory, standards or compliance framework used by UK-focused audiences.
C
Charge Point Management System (CPMS)
A Charge Point Management System is software used to monitor, control, configure and manage EV charging infrastructure. It is normally considered alongside charge point management systems, OCPP support, firmware updates, reporting and remote diagnostics.
O
OCPP 2.0.1
OCPP 2.0.1 is a newer Open Charge Point Protocol version with expanded support for device management, security, transactions and smart charging. It is normally assessed alongside interoperability, supported protocol versions, firmware support and backend compatibility.
OCPP 2.1
OCPP 2.1 is a recent Open Charge Point Protocol version developed to support advanced charging features, smart charging and improved interoperability. It is normally assessed alongside interoperability, supported protocol versions, firmware support and backend compatibility.
Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP)
Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) is the open protocol used for communication between EV charge points and charging station management systems. It supports authorisation, transactions, remote monitoring, diagnostics, smart charging and interoperability between hardware and backend platforms.
