ISO 15118 Charging Component Durability Testing for EVs
The ISO 15118 standard is pivotal in ensuring the safety and reliability of electric vehicle (EV) charging systems. This standard defines the communication protocol between an Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) and a connected electric vehicle. Our service focuses on testing the durability of components that comply with this standard, specifically the charging connection and its associated hardware.
The durability testing ensures that these components can withstand the harsh environmental conditions they might encounter over their operational lifespan. This is crucial for the safe operation of EVs in real-world scenarios such as extreme temperatures, humidity, dust, and vibration.
Our service covers a broad range of test parameters including electrical stress, mechanical loading, and thermal cycling. The testing process involves subjecting the components to controlled environments that simulate actual usage conditions. This includes high voltage surge tests, repeated connection/disconnection cycles, and temperature cycling between extreme cold and heat.
The acceptance criteria for these tests are based on international standards such as ISO 15118-2, which defines the communication protocol and interface requirements. Additionally, EN 62196-2 specifies the test methods that ensure compliance with the standard.
During testing, we employ state-of-the-art instrumentation to monitor critical parameters like current draw, temperature rise, and power consumption. Our team of engineers ensures that all components meet or exceed the specified performance criteria set by ISO 15118-2.
The results from our durability tests provide invaluable insights into the reliability and safety of charging connections used in electric vehicles. This data is crucial for manufacturers to improve their products and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
