This part of IEC 62893 specifies test methods which are particular for cables with extruded insulation and sheath having a voltage rating of up to and including 0,6/1 kV AC or up to and including 1 500 V DC for flexible applications under harsh conditions for the power supply between the electricity supply point or the charging station and the electric vehicle (EV).
General requirements are specified in IEC 62893-1 and particular types of cables are specified in IEC 62893-3 and the intended future IEC 62893-4 on DC charging.
