GAP MATRIX
Compliance Gap Matrix
| Compliance item | Common China baseline | Croatia (HZN / HERA / HOPS) | Gap / action | Source + verification date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AC Charging Connector Standard (Type 2) | China uses GB/T 20234.2 for AC charging, which defines a physically distinct 7-pin connector incompatible with IEC Type 2. GB/T plugs cannot mate with EU Type 2 sockets.GB/T 20234.2-2015 (AC EV charging connector, China) | EU public AC recharging points are subject to AFIR (Regulation (EU) 2023/1804) requirements for connector availability. AFIR Annex II specifies Type 2 for normal-power AC recharging points. IEC/EN 62196-2 describes the Type 2 technical connector design; the legal obligation is AFIR, while the IEC/EN standard is the technical specification route.IEC 62196-2 (Type 2 AC connector) EN 62196-2 Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 (AFIR), Art. 4 Directive 2014/94/EU (AFID) [superseded by AFIR] |
Hardware connector is physically incompatible. A Chinese EV or EVSE designed only around a GB/T AC interface cannot interoperate with EU public Type 2 AC infrastructure without a physical inlet/socket and control-interface redesign. The connector body, pin count, and locking mechanism all differ. Any adapter strategy for public infrastructure must be checked against AFIR and local safety rules rather than treated as a substitute for compliant connector design.[INFORMATIONAL] Non-compliant for EU public charging interoperability as-is if the product only supports GB/T AC. EU public AC infrastructure must meet AFIR connector requirements, and IEC/EN 62196-2 Type 2 is the technical specification used for that route. GB/T AC interfaces are not a substitute for AFIR-compliant Type 2 compatibility. | Croatian Standards Institute (HZN)2026-06-15 · reference |
| DC Fast-Charging Connector Standard (CCS Combo 2) | China uses GB/T 20234.3 for DC fast charging, defining a physically distinct 9-pin connector (CHAdeMO-influenced design) incompatible with CCS Combo 2. The pin layout, communication protocol (CAN vs. PLC), and inlet shape all differ.GB/T 20234.3-2023 (DC EV charging connector, China) | EU public DC recharging points are subject to AFIR (Regulation (EU) 2023/1804) requirements for connector availability. AFIR Annex II specifies Combo 2 for high-power DC recharging points. IEC/EN 62196-3 describes the CCS Combo 2 technical connector design; the legal obligation is AFIR, while the IEC/EN standard is the technical specification route.IEC 62196-3 (CCS Combo 2 DC connector) EN 62196-3 Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 (AFIR), Art. 4 & Annex II Directive 2014/94/EU (AFID) [superseded] |
Hardware connector is physically incompatible. Chinese EVs or EVSE with only a GB/T DC interface cannot fast-charge at EU CCS2 public stations without hardware and communication-stack redesign. The vehicle/charger communication stack (GB/T 27930 CAN vs. ISO 15118 / DIN 70121 PLC pathways in common EU CCS practice) also differs, compounding the incompatibility beyond the physical plug. Any adapter strategy for public infrastructure must be checked against AFIR and local safety rules.[INFORMATIONAL] Non-compliant for EU public DC charging interoperability as-is if the product only supports GB/T DC. EU public DC infrastructure must meet AFIR connector requirements, and IEC/EN 62196-3 CCS Combo 2 is the technical specification used for that route. GB/T DC interfaces are not a substitute for AFIR-compliant Combo 2 compatibility. | Croatian Standards Institute (HZN)2026-06-15 · reference |
| Legal Mandate: AFIR vs. AFID and Transition Timeline | China's equivalent policy mandate is GB/T 20234 series (enforced via MIIT type-approval). No bilateral connector recognition or mutual acceptance agreement exists between China GB/T and EU IEC 62196 standards. (Confirmed: no bilateral connector or certification mutual recognition treaty between CN GB/T 20234 and EU IEC 62196 has been concluded as of June 2026.)GB/T 20234.1-2023 (general requirements) GB/T 20234.2-2015 (AC) GB/T 20234.3-2023 (DC) MIIT EV type-approval requirements (China) |
Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 (AFIR) replaced Directive 2014/94/EU (AFID) with binding targets. AFIR entered into force 13 April 2024. New public charging pools must comply from that date; all existing pools must be upgraded to Type 2 / CCS2 by 2025–2026 depending on power level. AFIR is directly applicable in all EU member states without transposition.Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 (AFIR) — OJ L 2023/1804, 22 Sep 2023 Directive 2014/94/EU (AFID) [superseded] |
No harmonisation or mutual recognition between GB/T and IEC 62196 series. AFIR is a binding EU Regulation (not a Directive), meaning no member-state flexibility to accept GB/T connectors. Any EV destined for the EU market must carry Type 2 (AC) and CCS Combo 2 (DC) inlets as a hard market-entry requirement.[INFORMATIONAL] Non-compliant as-is for EU public charging infrastructure where a product relies on Chinese GB/T connectors only. AFIR creates the binding EU obligation for in-scope public infrastructure; Type 2 / Combo 2 technical compatibility is the practical redesign item. This is a product and infrastructure interoperability gap, not merely a documentation gap. | Croatian Standards Institute (HZN)2026-06-15 · reference |
| HOPS/HEP-ODS Grid Connection — 230/400 V 50 Hz Croatian Network | China domestic charger installations are commonly documented under GB/T 18487.1-2023, GB/T 20234 connector standards, GB/T 27930-2023 for DC communication, and local grid-operator acceptance. China domestic supply is 220 V single-phase / 380 V three-phase at 50 Hz. The shared 50 Hz frequency does not mean voltage equivalence: Croatia 230/400 V requires input-voltage, protection-threshold, thermal, and metering validation beyond the China baseline.GB/T 18487.1-2023 GB/T 20234.2-2015 GB/T 20234.3-2023 GB/T 27930-2023 China local grid operator project-acceptance requirements |
Croatia's electricity network is operated by HOPS (transmission) and HEP-ODS (distribution), with sector oversight by HERA (Croatian Energy Regulatory Agency). The low-voltage context is 230 V single-phase / 400 V three-phase at 50 Hz. That is the same frequency as China but a different nominal voltage from China's 220/380 V baseline. Grid-connected charger projects should be treated as site-specific electrical installations requiring HOPS or HEP-ODS supply-capacity review, protection coordination, metering, earthing, harmonic and power-quality review, commissioning, and written project acceptance before energisation.HOPS transmission network connection and project acceptance requirements HEP-ODS distribution network connection and project acceptance requirements HERA electricity-sector oversight IEC 61000 series — electromagnetic compatibility and power quality IEC 61851-1 — EV conductive charging system general requirements |
Exporters must confirm that the charger covers 230 V single-phase / 400 V three-phase at 50 Hz, not only China's 220/380 V settings. Protection thresholds, leakage-current devices, metering accuracy, harmonic emissions, supply-capacity calculations, earthing, surge protection, and commissioning documents should be prepared for HOPS/HEP-ODS review. Load management and demand limits should be agreed with HEP-ODS before shipment for larger installations.[INFORMATIONAL] Croatia-ready EVSE needs HOPS/HEP-ODS project acceptance and explicit 230/400 V 50 Hz validation. Do not describe the voltage as matching China: only the 50 Hz frequency matches, while nominal voltage differs from China's 220/380 V baseline. | HOPS (Croatian Transmission System Operator)2026-06-15 · reference |
| CE Conformity Assessment — LVD, EMC, RED (if wireless) | In China, EV chargers require China Compulsory Certification (CCC) under the GB/T and GB standards regime. Key standards include GB/T 18487.1 (AC charging system) and GB/T 20234 series (connectors). CCC is a mandatory third-party certification through designated bodies (CABs); it does not involve self-declaration and is structurally different from CE's conformity-based model.GB/T 18487.1-2015 (AC EV charging system) GB/T 20234.1-2023 (general requirements for connectors) GB/T 20234.2-2015 (AC charging interface) GB/T 20234.3-2023 (DC charging interface) CCC certification (CNCA mandatory) |
EV chargers sold in the EU must bear the CE marking, demonstrating conformity with all applicable EU legislation. Wired AC/DC chargers typically fall under LVD (2014/35/EU) and EMC Directive (2014/30/EU); chargers with wireless communication (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth for smart charging) additionally require conformity with RED (2014/53/EU). Conformity is generally established by manufacturer self-declaration supported by a technical file. Harmonised EN standards are voluntary routes to presumption of conformity, not mandatory legal requirements in themselves.Directive 2014/35/EU (LVD) Directive 2014/30/EU (EMCD) Directive 2014/53/EU (RED) EN 61851-1 (AC EV charging) EN IEC 61851-21-2 (EMC for off-board EV chargers) EN 55032 / EN 55035 (EMC emissions/immunity) |
Chinese manufacturers must obtain CE marking via EU-recognised conformity assessment routes (self-declaration under harmonised EN standards or notified-body involvement for certain RED equipment). CCC certification is not recognised in the EU and does not substitute for CE. Manufacturers must generate EU-specific technical documentation, test reports referencing EN standards, and an EU Declaration of Conformity — none of which are produced as part of the CCC process.[INFORMATIONAL] CE marking is mandatory before placing EV chargers on the EU market. CCC does not substitute for CE. Manufacturers must independently build EU technical files and, for wireless-enabled chargers, ensure RED compliance where applicable. Harmonised EN standards may support presumption of conformity but are not the mandatory legal obligation themselves. | Croatian Energy Regulatory Agency (HERA)2026-06-15 · reference |
| EU Declaration of Conformity (DoC) and Technical File | Under the Chinese CCC regime, the equivalent documentary output is the CCC certificate issued by the designated certification body, accompanied by type-test reports. There is no manufacturer self-declaration equivalent to the EU DoC; the certificate is issued by a third party. Post-certificate, manufacturers must maintain a production consistency system audited periodically by the CAB.CNCA-C25-01:2024 (CCC implementation rules for EV charging equipment — effective 1 March 2025, supersedes any prior voluntary-only scheme; issued CNCA Announcement No. 25/2024) Measures for the Administration of Compulsory Product Certification (SAMR 2020) |
Before placing a product on the EU market, the manufacturer (or its EU authorised representative) must draw up an EU Declaration of Conformity (DoC) listing all applicable directives and the harmonised standards applied, and must compile and retain a technical file for at least 10 years. The DoC must be made available to market surveillance authorities on request. Requirements are set out in each applicable directive (LVD Art. 15, EMCD Art. 14, RED Art. 19) and in Decision 768/2008/EC (modular conformity assessment).Directive 2014/35/EU Art. 15 (LVD DoC) Directive 2014/30/EU Art. 14 (EMCD DoC) Directive 2014/53/EU Art. 19 (RED DoC) Decision 768/2008/EC (modular conformity assessment framework) |
Chinese manufacturers exporting to the EU must create an EU-format DoC from scratch — listing each applicable EU directive, the specific harmonised standards applied, the manufacturer's name and address (or EU authorised representative's), and a traceable signatory. The CCC certificate neither replaces nor simplifies this; test data generated for CCC may be re-used only if it was produced against equivalent EN test methods, which requires engineering review.[INFORMATIONAL] An EU DoC is a legal document that manufacturers or their EU representatives must sign and retain. It cannot be delegated to a test lab or certification body. Chinese exporters with only CCC documentation must draft the DoC in-house or engage an EU-based compliance consultant. | Croatian Energy Regulatory Agency (HERA)2026-06-15 · reference |
| EU Economic Operator / Authorised Representative — Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 | China has no direct regulatory equivalent requiring a domestic responsible operator for export-bound products. Chinese manufacturers exporting abroad appoint foreign distributors or agents commercially, but there is no statutory requirement to designate an EU-resident legal representative responsible for CE compliance and market surveillance cooperation.N/A — no direct Chinese equivalent | Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 on market surveillance and product compliance requires that products placed on the EU market have an identifiable 'responsible economic operator' established in the EU. For products manufactured outside the EU, this means the importer or, if no EU importer, a mandated EU authorised representative (Art. 4). The responsible operator must: hold the DoC and technical file or ensure they are accessible; register in RAPEX/ICSMS where required; cooperate with market surveillance authorities; and take corrective action if a product is non-compliant. This obligation applies to EV chargers as CE-marked electrical equipment.Regulation (EU) 2019/1020, Art. 4 (responsible economic operator) Regulation (EU) 2019/1020, Art. 5 (obligations of importers) Regulation (EU) 2019/1020, Art. 8 (market surveillance obligations) |
This is a structural gap with no Chinese regulatory analogue. A Chinese EV charger manufacturer shipping directly to EU customers (e.g., via e-commerce) must appoint an EU-established authorised representative before the first unit enters the EU market. Without one, the product cannot legally be placed on the EU market under Regulation 2019/1020. The AR must be named on the product label or documentation.[INFORMATIONAL] Chinese manufacturers without an EU importer must appoint an EU-established authorised representative. This is a hard legal gate under Regulation 2019/1020 — no EU AR means the product cannot lawfully enter the EU market, regardless of CE marking status. | Croatian Energy Regulatory Agency (HERA)2026-06-15 · reference |
| AFIR — Public EV Charging: Ad-hoc Payment, Interoperability and Technical Specifications | China has no direct regulatory equivalent to AFIR's functional public-charging requirements. The closest standards are GB/T 34658 (interoperability requirements) and NB/T 33025 (communication protocols for EV charging), plus GB/T 27930 (DC charging communication). Chinese public chargers are increasingly connected via operator platforms (e.g., State Grid, Southern Grid, TELD), but AFIR-equivalent ad-hoc payment, data-access, smart recharging and EU connector requirements are not mandated by Chinese regulation.GB/T 34658-2017 (EV conductive charging interoperability requirements) NB/T 33025-2016 (EV DC charging communication protocol — EVSE side) GB/T 27930-2015 (communication protocol between off-board charger and BMS) |
Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 (AFIR) mandates functional requirements for publicly accessible EV recharging points. AFIR-confirmed requirements include: (1) ad-hoc charging without a subscription or contract, with the payment instruments required by AFIR for relevant publicly accessible recharging points; (2) transparent price information before a charging session starts; (3) digital connectivity, smart recharging capability, static data and dynamic data obligations for publicly accessible infrastructure; (4) AFIR Annex II technical specifications for publicly accessible recharging points, including Type 2 for normal-power AC recharging points and Combo 2 for high-power DC recharging points; and (5) TEN-T deployment targets for recharging pools. AFIR replaces Directive 2014/94/EU (AFID).Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 (AFIR) — full text AFIR Annex II (technical specifications for publicly accessible recharging points) |
Significant functional gap for public charging deployments: (1) ad-hoc payment functionality may need to be added for EU public deployments; (2) digital connectivity, smart recharging, data-access and roaming/data exchange obligations may differ from proprietary Chinese operator platforms; (3) AFIR Annex II connector specifications differ from Chinese GB/T connector practice. These AFIR requirements apply primarily to charge point operators (CPOs), but hardware and software capability must be available at installation.[INFORMATIONAL] AFIR introduces functional requirements for publicly accessible charging points, including ad-hoc payment, price transparency, digital connectivity, smart recharging, data obligations and Annex II connector specifications. Chinese charger hardware intended for EU public deployment must be verified for AFIR compliance before installation. | Croatian Energy Regulatory Agency (HERA)2026-06-15 · reference |
| OCPP, EMC, Radio Modules, and Power Quality | China DC fast chargers commonly use GB/T 27930-2023 CAN communication between the off-board charger and vehicle BMS. This is not OCPP back-office communication and is not the CCS2 communication direction. China-market chargers may also include China-specific payment, SIM, cloud, and operator integrations that need reconfiguration for Croatia operators, roaming, language, currency, and data interfaces.GB/T 27930-2023 GB/T 18487.1-2023 China operator-specific back-office protocols China radio module approvals where applicable |
Networked EV chargers in Croatia should be specified for OCPP back-office interoperability where a charge-point operator, public-sector project, or HOPS/HEP-ODS-linked programme requires remote monitoring, billing, diagnostics, or load management. Electrical and electronic emissions and immunity evidence should align with IEC 61000 EMC and power-quality standards. Cellular, Wi-Fi, RFID, payment, or smart-metering modules may trigger additional communications, spectrum, cybersecurity, and data-interface checks under project or national requirements.OCPP — Open Charge Point Protocol for networked EV chargers IEC 61000 series — electromagnetic compatibility and power quality IEC 61851-24 — digital communication between DC EV charging station and EV Croatia communications regulatory authority or applicable spectrum authority requirements for radio modules where in scope |
Exporters must confirm the OCPP version, charge-point-management-system integration, remote diagnostics, load management, payment or RFID flow, SIM or communications module approval path, and IEC 61000 EMC reports for the final Croatia configuration. For DC CCS2 products, GB/T 27930 must not be presented as the relevant communication evidence. Harmonic current and immunity data should be reviewed against the specific HOPS/HEP-ODS supply point and grid constraints.[INFORMATIONAL] Croatian networked chargers should be validated for OCPP integration, IEC 61000 EMC and power quality, and local communications-module requirements. GB/T 27930 alone does not satisfy OCPP, CCS2 communication, or back-office interoperability needs. | Croatian Standards Institute (HZN)2026-06-15 · reference |
| Low Voltage Safety — EV Charging Equipment (General) | China commonly references GB/T 18487.1-2015 (Electric vehicle conductive charging system — General requirements), which is technically aligned with IEC 61851-1 but incorporates national deviations. It is enforced under the GB framework administered by SAMR/SAC. GB/T 18487.1 testing and certification by a Chinese CNAS-accredited lab is NOT recognised as equivalent to EN IEC 61851-1 testing under the EU LVD conformity assessment pathway.GB/T 18487.1-2015 — Electric vehicle conductive charging system — General requirements (SAMR/SAC) | EV charging equipment placed on the EU market must comply with the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU, ensuring it is designed and manufactured to be safe when correctly installed and maintained. Equipment must meet the Essential Safety Requirements (Annex I) covering protection against electric shock, insulation, overcurrent/overtemperature protection, and clearances. Harmonised standard EN IEC 61851-1:2019 (Mode 1–4 conductive charging, AC and DC, general requirements) provides a presumption of conformity.Directive 2014/35/EU (Low Voltage Directive) EN IEC 61851-1:2019 — Electric vehicle conductive charging system — Part 1: General requirements |
Exporters should build an EU conformity file against the LVD essential safety requirements and may use EN IEC 61851-1:2019 testing as evidence for presumption of conformity. Existing Chinese GB/T 18487.1 test reports do not automatically substitute because scope, deviations, connector assumptions and documentation differ. A Notified Body is not mandatory for LVD; manufacturer self-declaration with a Technical File is the normal route. Documentation gap: EU Declaration of Conformity, CE marking, and EU-language technical instructions are all required.[INFORMATIONAL] CE marking under LVD 2014/35/EU is mandatory. EN IEC 61851-1:2019 is a voluntary harmonised standard that can grant presumption of conformity for general EV conductive charging; it is not the legal obligation itself. Chinese GB/T 18487.1 certification does not by itself satisfy the EU conformity assessment pathway; EU evidence against the LVD requirements is needed. | Croatian Standards Institute (HZN)2026-06-15 · reference |
| DC Charging Station Safety — EV Conductive Charging | China's DC charging station domestic equivalent is GB/T 18487.3-2001 (AC/DC electric vehicle charging station — the only published Part 3 of the 18487 series; note: a GB/T 18487.3-2015 does not exist). The current DC system standard is GB/T 18487.5-2024 (DC charging system for GB/T 20234.3 connector). The DC coupler standard is GB/T 20234.3-2023 (superseded by GB/T 20234.3-2023 which supports up to 1500 V / 800 A). CQC or CNAS certification to these Chinese standards is not accepted under the EU LVD CE marking pathway.GB/T 18487.3-2001 — Electric vehicle conductive charging system — AC/DC electric vehicle charging station (only published edition; no 2015 revision exists) GB/T 18487.5-2024 — Electric vehicle conductive charging system — Part 5: DC charging system for GB/T 20234.3 (current DC system standard) GB/T 20234.3-2023 — Connection set for conductive charging of electric vehicles — Part 3: DC charging coupler (supersedes 2015 edition) |
DC charging stations (Mode 4, off-board chargers) placed on the EU market must comply with the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU where within scope. EN IEC 61851-23:2023 (Electric vehicle conductive charging system — Part 23: DC EV charging station) is a current product standard that may be used as technical evidence and, where cited as harmonised, gives presumption of conformity; it is not itself the mandatory legal obligation. Key technical topics include isolation monitoring, interlock systems, control pilot functions, maximum voltage/current ratings, and communication protocols for DC supply.EN IEC 61851-23:2023 — Electric vehicle conductive charging system — Part 23: DC EV charging station (current edition, supersedes 2014) Directive 2014/35/EU (Low Voltage Directive) |
DC charging stations exported to the EU should be assessed against the LVD essential safety requirements and may use EN IEC 61851-23:2023 testing as presumption-of-conformity evidence where applicable. Particular attention is needed for: (1) CCS2 (Combined Charging System Type 2) connector compliance vs. Chinese GB/T connector; (2) isolation monitoring requirements per European grid topology; and (3) CHAdeMO or CCS2 communication protocol compatibility. The connector type itself is a hardware gap — Chinese DC stations typically use GB/T 20234.3 plugs, which are not CCS2 or CHAdeMO compatible without hardware redesign.[INFORMATIONAL] DC charging stations require CE marking under the applicable EU legislation, including LVD where in scope. EN IEC 61851-23:2023 is a voluntary product standard used as technical evidence or presumption-of-conformity support where harmonised; it is not mandatory in itself. Chinese GB/T 18487.3 certification is not accepted as an EU conformity assessment substitute. A significant hardware gap exists where Chinese DC stations use GB/T connectors incompatible with EU CCS2 practice. | Croatian Standards Institute (HZN)2026-06-15 · reference |
| Electrical Installation Safety — EV Charging in Buildings (IEC 60364-7-722) | China addresses EV charging installation primarily through GB 50966-2014 (Code for design of electric vehicle charging station) and GB/T 51313-2018 (Technical standard for electric vehicle charging infrastructure), administered by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development (MOHURD). These cover site design and installation but differ from IEC 60364-7-722 in RCD type requirements, earthing system assumptions (TN-S vs. Chinese practice), and load management protocols. Chinese installation documentation is not accepted as evidence of compliance with EU member-state installation standards.GB 50966-2014 — Code for design of electric vehicle charging station (MOHURD) (confirmed to exist; enforced by MOHURD/MIIT) GB/T 51313-2018 — Technical standard for electric vehicle charging infrastructure (confirmed to exist; enforced by MOHURD/MIIT) |
EU member-state electrical installation law and grid/installer rules govern the building-side circuits supplying EV charging points. IEC 60364-7-722 / HD 60364-7-722 provide the commonly adopted technical installation route covering protective measures (RCD type B or A+DC detection), wiring, earthing, and load management. These standards apply to the building-side installation infrastructure, not the charger product itself, but exported EV chargers should be compatible with these installation requirements so they can be accepted by EU installers and DSOs.IEC 60364-7-722:2018 — Low-voltage electrical installations — Part 7-722: Requirements for special installations or locations — Supply of electric vehicles HD 60364-7-722 (CENELEC harmonised document, adopted by EU member states) (confirmed: HD 60364-7-722:2018 is the current CENELEC harmonisation document, approved 27 August 2018; member states implement as national standard, e.g., DS/HD 60364-7-722:2018, SIST HD 60364-7-722:2019, NEK EN 60364-7-722) |
IEC 60364-7-722 / HD 60364-7-722 are installation standards — they govern fixed wiring and protection devices at the building side, not the charger product itself. However, exported EV chargers should declare compatibility with Type B RCDs or incorporate internal DC fault protection to allow Type A RCDs under EU installation practice. A charger that requires installation conditions not achievable under EU member-state electrical codes will fail field acceptance. Chinese charger datasheets often omit compatibility statements expected by EU installers and grid operators.[INFORMATIONAL] IEC 60364-7-722 / HD 60364-7-722 govern building-side installation practice as adopted through national rules. EV chargers exported to the EU should be compatible with the RCD and earthing requirements expected by installers and DSOs. This is distinct from product-level CE marking under LVD, but non-compatibility can block field installation. Chinese installation standards (GB 50966 / GB/T 51313) are not substitutes. | Croatian Standards Institute (HZN)2026-06-15 · reference |
