SGS Issues World’s First IEC 61851-23:2023 CB Certificate for DC EV Charger
SGS has issued the world’s first IEC 61851-23:2023 CB certificate for a DC electric vehicle (EV) charging station
The updated standard sets a new benchmark for safety, efficiency and interoperability testing in the global EV sector. It demands rigorous validation in areas including environmental durability, electrical safety, interoperability, efficiency and current stability.
To meet these requirements, certification testing was powered by SGS’s new automation plugin built on the TeREES® L2 digital lab platform, enabling one-click execution of thousands of scenarios, high-frequency multi-parameter data capture and automated CB-compliant reporting.
This solution reduced report turnaround from 60 days to 72 hours and boosted overall testing efficiency by more than 50%, shortening time-to-market and lowering compliance barriers for manufacturers.
IEC CB certificates are recognized in 53 countries, supporting faster market entry with one certification. Utilizing SGS’s new innovative automation solution, manufacturers can benefit from accelerated approvals, global recognition and a clear demonstration of quality leadership.
