191 FOREWORD
192 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
193 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
194 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
195 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
196 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
197 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
198 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
199 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
200 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
201 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
202 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
203 interested IEC National Committees.
204 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
205 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
206 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
207 misinterpretation by any end user.
208 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
209 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
210 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
211 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
212 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
213 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
214 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
215 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
216 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
217 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
218 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
219 Publications.
220 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
221 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
222 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
223 rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
224 IEC 62196-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 23H: Plugs, socketoutlets and couplers for
225 industrial and similar applications, and for electric vehicles, of IEC technical committee 23:
226 Electrical accessories. It is an International Standard.
227 This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2022. This edition
228 constitutes a technical revision.
229 Sec note: The following list of changes will be subject to change
230 This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
231 edition:
232 a) addition of new tests for latching devices and retaining means;
233 b) inclusion of type 4 accessories;
234 c) addition of new annex to incorporate the content of IEC TS 62196-3-1.

265 INTRODUCTION
266 IEC 61851 (all parts) specifies requirements for electric vehicle (EV) conductive charging
267 systems.
268 IEC 62196 (all parts) specifies the requirements for plugs, socket-outlets, vehicle connectors,
269 vehicle inlets and cable assemblies as described in the IEC 61851 series and in IEC 62752.
270 Some charging can be achieved by direct connection from an electric vehicle to standard
271 socket-outlets connected to a supply network (mains or electrical grid).
272 Some modes of charging require a dedicated supply and charging equipment incorporating
273 control and communication circuits.
274 IEC 62196 (all parts) covers the mechanical, electrical and performance requirements for plugs,
275 socket-outlets, vehicle connectors and vehicle inlets for the connection between the EV supply
276 equipment and the electric vehicle.
277 The IEC 62196 series consists of the following parts:
278 – Part 1: General requirements, comprising clauses of a general character.
279 – Part 2: Dimensional compatibility and interchangeability requirements for AC pin and
280 contact-tube accessories.
281 – Part 3: Dimensional compatibility and interchangeability requirements for DC and AC/DC
282 pin and contact-tube vehicle couplers.
283 – Part 4: Dimensional compatibility and interchangeability requirements for DC pin and
284 contact-tube accessories for Class II or Class III applications.
285 – Part 6: Dimensional compatibility requirements for DC pin and contact-tube vehicle couplers
286 intended to be used for DC EV supply equipment where protection relies on electrical
287 separation.
