Information
Definition
EN 61851-22 is a legacy part of the EN 61851 series relating to AC electric vehicle charging stations. On EVCP Info, it links related terminology to the relevant regulatory, standards or compliance framework used by UK-focused audiences.
Why it matters
It may appear in older product documentation, so UK users need to recognise it when reviewing historic charger compliance information. For UK users, it helps separate legal requirements, recognised standards, good practice and manufacturer claims when reviewing EV charging equipment.
