GAP MATRIX

Compliance Gap Matrix

Gap matrix
Compliance item Common China baseline Egypt (EOS / EgyptERA) Gap / action Source + verification date
Connector Conversion: GB/T 20234 vs IEC 62196 Type 2 / CCS2 GB-standard cn_common_equivalent: China AC and DC connector evidence commonly follows GB/T 20234. GB/T connector geometry, signaling, and communication assumptions are not automatically interchangeable with IEC Type 2 or CCS2 configurations.GB/T 20234 Egypt projects commonly need connector interoperability to be checked against the tender, operator, vehicle fleet, and any EOS / IEC specification. IEC 62196 is the IEC connector series for plugs, socket-outlets, vehicle connectors, and vehicle inlets; Type 2 and CCS2 choices should be documented where the Egypt project specifies an IEC connector ecosystem.IEC 62196
IEC 62196-2:2022
IEC 62196-3:2022		 A China GB/T model usually needs connector hardware, cable assembly, inlet / outlet gender, locking, temperature rise, pilot / proximity behavior, communication, label, and user-instruction review before it can be sold or installed for an IEC Type 2 / CCS2 Egypt project.[INFORMATIONAL] Do not ship a GB/T connector configuration into an IEC Type 2 / CCS2 Egypt project without a connector and communication compatibility review.

EMC Evidence for Off-Board EV Charging Equipment GB-standard cn_common_equivalent: China-side EMC files may reference GB/T 18487 and related EV charging EMC evidence. Connector conversion, enclosure change, cable length, power module change, communications equipment, or site filter changes can invalidate direct reuse.GB/T 18487 EMC evidence should be planned for the final Egypt-market configuration. IEC 61851-21-2:2018 is the IEC EMC standard for off-board electric vehicle charging systems connected conductively to an AC or DC supply. Use it as a technical benchmark unless EOS confirms a specific Egyptian adopted edition or another binding EMC route.IEC 61851-21-2:2018
IEC 61851		 Rebuild the EMC file around the final bill of materials, connector set, cable set, radio / payment module, enclosure, grounding method, surge protection, installation category, and Egyptian supply environment. Identify which China tests remain technically representative and which require retest.[INFORMATIONAL] EMC should be assessed on the final Egypt configuration, especially after GB/T-to-IEC connector or communications changes. International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)2026-06-13 · unverified
EOS Standards and GOEIC Import-Control Route GB-standard cn_common_equivalent: China-side files commonly start with GB/T 18487, GB/T 20234, and GB/T 27930 evidence. These GB-standard documents can organize the engineering comparison but do not replace EOS standard confirmation or GOEIC import-file review.GB/T 18487
GB/T 20234
GB/T 27930		 Egypt-facing files should identify the applicable Egyptian Standard through EOS and the import / conformity-document route through GOEIC where the shipment is subject to Egyptian import control. The public EOS portal provides Egyptian standards search and purchase services, while GOEIC publishes import approvals, inspection of contract samples, conformity certificates, industrial laboratories, and specification-guide access. This supports a document-control requirement, not a blanket conclusion that every EV charger whole unit has a mandatory certificate.EOS Egyptian Standards search / purchase route
GOEIC import approvals
GOEIC conformity certificates and industrial laboratories		 Prepare a market-access file that separates standards evidence, customs / import documents, test reports, declarations, Arabic or bilingual labels where requested, importer registration data, and model-specific scope analysis. Avoid treating a China GB/T report as an Egyptian standards or import-control decision.[INFORMATIONAL] Treat EOS and GOEIC as separate checks: standards selection, import-file handling, and conformity evidence should be confirmed before shipment.

China GB/T 18487 Baseline vs Egypt Route GB-standard cn_common_equivalent: GB/T 18487 is China's common conductive-charging system baseline, supported by GB/T 20234 for connection devices and GB/T 27930 for off-board DC charger to BMS communication. The China national standards platform lists current and replaced GB/T 20234 EV charging connector standards, including 2023 updates for parts of the series.GB/T 18487
GB/T 20234
GB/T 27930		 Egypt-facing evidence should be organized around the Egyptian route: EOS standards confirmation, GOEIC import handling where applicable, IEC 61851 / IEC 62196 mapping, EgyptERA and distribution-company site review, tariff / operator context, and final safety / EMC evidence. A China GB/T 18487 test baseline is useful for engineering comparison but is not an Egyptian approval route by itself.EOS standards route
GOEIC import-control route
EgyptERA electricity-utility rules
IEC 61851
IEC 62196		 Convert the China file into an Egypt gap matrix: identify clauses that match IEC / EOS expectations, clauses affected by Type 2 or CCS2 conversion, missing Arabic or local-market documentation, site-specific utility documents, import documents, and operating-policy documents outside the product test report.[INFORMATIONAL] GB/T 18487 is the China-side baseline for comparison, not evidence of EOS, GOEIC, EgyptERA, utility, or site approval. State Administration for Market Regulation / Standardization Administration of China2026-06-13 · unverified
EgyptERA Grid, License, and Tariff Context GB-standard cn_common_equivalent: GB/T 18487 and GB/T 20234 can show product-side conductive charging evidence, but China-side reports do not establish Egyptian site connection, tariff eligibility, operator licensing, or distribution-network approval.GB/T 18487
GB/T 20234		 EgyptERA is the electricity utility regulator and publishes electricity laws, regulations, codes, permits / license procedures, and an electric vehicle charging tariff. EV charging projects should therefore separate product compliance from site connection, operator licensing, tariff, and utility-interface questions.Electricity Law No. 87 of 2015
EgyptERA regulations and codes
EgyptERA electric vehicle charging tariff		 Prepare site single-line diagrams, load calculations, protection coordination, earthing details, metering / tariff assumptions, utility application documents, operator authorization evidence, and commissioning records in addition to product test reports.[INFORMATIONAL] Product test reports are not enough for an Egypt charging site; EgyptERA, tariff, utility, and site-approval questions need a separate file. Egyptian Electric Utility and Consumer Protection Regulatory Agency (EgyptERA)2026-06-13 · unverified
IEC 61851 Conductive-Charging System Baseline GB-standard cn_common_equivalent: GB/T 18487 is the China-side conductive-charging system baseline and is commonly paired with GB/T 20234 connection-device evidence. Clause-by-clause mapping should be prepared against IEC 61851 rather than assuming direct acceptance.GB/T 18487
GB/T 20234		 Where Egypt-facing specifications use the IEC route, IEC 61851 is the core conductive-charging system benchmark for EV supply equipment. IEC 61851-1 covers EVSE operating conditions, the EVSE-to-vehicle connection, and electrical-safety requirements. Use the bare IEC 61851 number in the gap matrix unless the Egyptian-adopted edition is confirmed through EOS for the exact project.IEC 61851
IEC 61851-1		 Map modes, protective functions, control pilot behavior, earthing, marking, installation instructions, environmental ratings, and test evidence from the GB/T design file to the IEC 61851 structure. Retest or supplement evidence where connector conversion, local supply voltage, installation environment, or protection-device assumptions change.[INFORMATIONAL] IEC 61851 alignment is a technical gap-matrix item for Egypt; confirm Egyptian adoption and mandatory status through EOS or project authorities.
