[Current]Electric vehicle (EV) chargers for commercial applications
SA TS 5397:2024 provides consumers with best-practice advice for planning, installation and ongoing operations, and maintenance of electric vehicle (EV) chargers for commercial applications in the Australian context.The development of the EV charger specifications is an initiative of the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water in collaboration with Transport for NSW. This important work has been funded by the NSW Environmental Trust and aligns with the NSW Government’s Net Zero Plan Stage 1: 2020-2030. As part of this initiative, electronic copy access is being provided at no fee. Hard copy access is available at an additional cost.
