Webinar to Cover EVSE Commissioning and Field Inspection Standards

A webinar focused on standards and practical methods for electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) commissioning and field inspection is scheduled for September 16, 2026. Presented by comemso electronics GmbH, the session aims to address how charging stations can be operational without being fully functional or electrically safe.

What Happened

The webinar provides a structured overview of the standards, test requirements, and practical methods used to verify EVSEs during commissioning and field inspection. Key topics include how functional testing and electrical safety testing complement each other, as well as which checks are relevant at different stages of an EVSE’s lifecycle. The session covers specific test areas such as charging communication, control pilot behavior, protective functions, insulation, grounding, residual current protection, and the correct response to simulated vehicle and fault conditions. Additionally, it presents a standards-based inspection workflow for newly installed charging stations, maintenance activities, troubleshooting, and periodic inspections.

Why It Matters

For technicians, operators, service organizations, and EVSE manufacturers, ensuring that charging infrastructure remains safe, compliant, and fully functional is critical. The webinar emphasizes reproducible testing, clear documentation, and efficient field processes. By focusing on these areas, the session helps industry stakeholders identify common faults efficiently on site, addressing the gap between a station being merely operational and being fully functional and electrically safe.

The Bottom Line

The free webinar will take place on September 16, 2026, at 8:45 am EDT. It is part of the Virtual Conference on EV Engineering, which broadcasts live from September 14 to 17, 2026, covering the entire EV engineering supply chain and ecosystem.
