This part of IEC 62196 is applicable to plugs, socket-outlets, vehicle connectors and vehicle inlets, herein referred to as “accessories”, of standardized configuration for DC power supply of electric road vehicles, where the protection against electric shocks relies on double or reinforced insulation between all AC and DC inputs and outputs of the EV supply equipment, intended for use in conductive power supply systems which can incorporate control means, with a maximum operating voltage up to 120 V DC, not exceeding 60 A.

These accessories are intended to be used for circuits specified in IEC 61851-3 (all parts).

The accessories covered by this part of IEC 62196 are intended to be used only with electric vehicles that provide a vehicle power supply circuit with double or reinforced insulation or battery systems covered by IEC 61851-3 (all parts).

These accessories and cable assemblies are intended to be used in an ambient temperature of between −30 °C and +50 °C.

These accessories are intended to be connected only to cables with copper or copper-alloy conductors.
