Identification of vehicles and infrastructures compatibility - Graphical expression for consumer information on EV power supply
This document lays down harmonized identifiers for power supply for electric road vehicles. The requirements in this standard are to complement the informational needs of users regarding the compatibility between the EV charging stations, the cable assemblies and the vehicles that are placed on the market. The identifier is intended to be visualized at EV charging stations, on vehicles, on cable assemblies, in EV dealerships and in consumer manuals as described in this document.
Power supply for EVs uses vehicle inlets, socket-outlets, connectors and plugs, as mentioned in EN IEC 61851-1:— and EN 62196-1:2014.
This document defines for each harmonized identifier the size, shape, colour and other information of relevance for compatibility recognition, as well as the label location.
The station side identifier gives unmistakable compatibility information with either the plug of the cable assembly in case of a socket outlet configuration, or the vehicle inlet in case of attached cable configuration.

Identification de la compatibilité des véhicules et des infrastructures - Expression graphique pour l'information des consommateurs sur l'alimentation pour véhicules électriques
La présente Norme européenne établit des identificateurs harmonisés destinés à l’alimentation des véhicules routiers électriques. Les exigences de la présente norme sont établies dans le but de compléter les informations nécessaires aux utilisateurs concernant la compatibilité entre les bornes de charge, les câbles de charge et les véhicules qui sont mis sur le marché. L’identificateur est destiné à être vu au niveau des bornes de charge, sur les véhicules, sur les câbles de charge, chez les vendeurs de VE et dans les manuels des consommateurs tels que décrits dans le présent document.
L’alimentation pour VE utilise des socles de connecteur, des socles de prise de courant, des prises mobiles et des fiches, tels que mentionnés dans l’EN IEC 61851-1:— et l’EN 62196-1:2014.
La présente Norme européenne définit, pour chaque identificateur harmonisé, la taille, la forme, la couleur et d’autres informations pertinentes pour la reconnaissance de compatibilité, ainsi que le lieu de placement.
L'identificateur côté station donne des informations de compatibilité indubitables avec soit la fiche de l'ensemble câble dans le cas d'une configuration de type socle de prise de courant, soit l'entrée véhicule dans le cas d'une configuration de type câble fixé.
Identifikacija skladnosti vozil in infrastrukture - Grafični prikaz za informiranje porabnikov o električnem napajanju električnih vozil
Ta evropski standard določa usklajene oznake za električno napajanje električnih cestnih vozil. Zahteve, podane v tem standardu, dopolnjujejo uporabnikove potrebe po informacijah glede združljivosti med napajalnimi postajami, kabelskimi sklopi in vozili, ki so dani na trg. Oznaka je namenjena uporabi na napravah napajalnih postajah, vozilih, v prodajnih dovoljenjih za električna vozila in v priročnikih, kot je opisano v tem dokumentu.
Električno napajanje električnih vozil uporablja uvodnice na vozilih, vtičnice, konektorje in vtiče, kot je opisano v standardih FprEN 61851 1:2016 in EN 62196 1:2014.
Ta evropski standard za vsako usklajeno oznako določa velikost, obliko, barvo in druge informacije, ki so pomembne za prepoznavanje združljivosti ter lokacijo namestitve.
Ta evropski standard določa usklajeno označevanje združljivosti po Evropi in tako učinkovito podpira izvajanje 7. člena Direktive 2014/94/EU s strani držav članic EU. Evropski standard dopolnjuje informacije glede priklopa električnega vozila, ki so namenjene uporabniku električnega vozila ob prihodu na priključno točko. Porabnik mora zlahka razlikovati med različnimi vrstami predlaganih električnih vmesnikov poleg dodatnih informacij, kot so močnostne ravni, predvsem pa mora prepoznati ustrezni vmesnik priključne točke, ki je združljiv z njegovim električnim vozilom. Oznaka postaje se lahko nanaša na vtič mobilnega kabla v primeru konfiguracije vtičnice ali pa se neposredno nanaša na uvodnico avtomobila v primeru konfiguracije priklopljenega kabla.

Overview
EN 17186:2019 (CEN) specifies a harmonized graphical expression and labelling system for electric vehicle (EV) power supply compatibility. The standard defines clear visual identifiers - including shape, colour, symbol and size - to communicate compatibility between EV charging stations, cable assemblies and vehicle inlets. Labels are intended for EV charging stations, vehicles, detachable cable assemblies, vehicle dealerships and consumer manuals to help users quickly identify the correct interface and charging configuration.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Harmonized identifiers: Standardized pictograms and symbols that indicate electrical interface compatibility (vehicle inlet, socket‑outlet, connector/plug).
- Colour scheme and shape: A defined colour-coding and identifier shape scheme for easy visual recognition across markets.
- Label design and content: Requirements for a basic label (mandatory identifier content) and a full label that can include optional information (e.g., power levels).
- Size, durability and placement: Prescribed label sizes, durability expectations and exact label locations on EV charging stations, vehicle bodywork, detachable cable assemblies, in dealerships and in vehicle manuals.
- Station-side compatibility info: Station identifiers must clearly show whether compatibility refers to the plug (socket-outlet configuration) or the vehicle inlet (attached cable configuration).
- Connection cases: Coverage of common connection scenarios (Case A - cable part of vehicle; Case B - detachable cable assembly; Case C - cable part of EV charging station), supporting correct label application for each case.
- Normative references: Works alongside standards for conductive charging and interfaces such as EN IEC 61851-1 and EN 62196-1 and follows labelling principles related to EN 16942.
Applications and who uses it
- EV manufacturers and vehicle designers: Apply identifiers to new vehicles and include labels in owner manuals to meet regulatory information requirements.
- Charging station manufacturers and installers: Mark socket‑outlets and EVSE units so users can confirm physical and electrical compatibility.
- Cable and connector suppliers: Label detachable cable assemblies to show which vehicle inlets and charging stations they match.
- Dealerships and fleet operators: Provide visible consumer information in showrooms and fleet depots.
- Regulators and infrastructure planners: Use harmonized labelling to improve user experience and support Directive 2014/94/EU implementation for EV recharging information.

The European Standard, SIST EN 17186:2019, establishes a set of standardized identifiers for the power supply of electric vehicles (EVs) in order to provide information to users about the compatibility between charging stations, cable assemblies, and vehicles. This visual identifier should be displayed at charging stations, on vehicles, on cable assemblies, in EV dealerships, and in consumer manuals. The standard defines the size, shape, color, and placement location for each identifier. The purpose of this standard is to support the implementation of Article 7 of Directive 2014/94/EU by EU Member States and to help EV users easily identify compatible interfaces for their vehicle when connecting to a charging point.
The article discusses the European Standard EN 17186:2019, which sets guidelines for identifying compatibility between electric vehicles (EV), charging stations, and cable assemblies. The standard aims to provide visual identifiers that can be displayed at charging stations, on vehicles, and in consumer manuals. It specifies the size, shape, color, and other relevant information for recognizing compatibility. The standard also supports the implementation of Directive 2014/94/EU by EU Member States and helps EV users easily identify the correct interface for connecting their vehicles.
