91 FOREWORD
92 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
93 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
94 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
95 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
96 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
97 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
98 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
99 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
100 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
101 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
102 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
103 interested IEC National Committees.
104 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
105 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
106 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
107 misinterpretation by any end user.
108 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
109 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
110 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
111 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
112 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
113 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
114 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
115 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
116 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
117 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
118 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
119 Publications.
120 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
121 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
122 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
123 rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
124 IEC 62196-2 has been prepared by IEC subcommittee 23H: Plugs, socket-outlets and couplers
125 for industrial and similar applications, and for electric vehicles, of IEC technical committee 23:
126 Electrical accessories. It is an International Standard.
127 This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2022. This edition
128 constitutes a technical revision.
129 This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
130 edition:
131 a) addition of new tests for latching devices;
132 b) corrections to standard sheets;

407 latched position in accordance with the manufacturer’s data sheet.
408 5) Repeat steps 1 through 4 according to Table 204.
410 Part 2 – Release latching
412 1) Fully insert the appropriate test guage into the vehicle inlet or EV socket-outlet until in the
413 fully mated position and ensure that the test gauge is in the latched position.
414 2) In the latched position, using a force gauge apply, either manually or automatically, the
415 minimum load according to Table 204 as illustrated in Figure 201 in the defined direction
416 until step 4.
417 3) Electrically activate the latching device to unlatch the test gauge.
418 4) Check the PASS CRITERIA: The test gauge shall be released from the vehicle inlet.
