Compliance Gap Matrix

Gap matrix
Compliance item Common China baseline El Salvador (OSARTEC / SIGET) Gap / action Source + verification date
Connector Interoperability — GB/T 20234 vs Americas J1772 / CCS1 China AC chargers use GB/T 20234.2 couplers and China DC chargers use GB/T 20234.3 couplers with GB/T 27930 communication. These connector geometries and DC communication assumptions are not physically compatible with J1772 Type 1 or CCS1 vehicles.GB/T 20234.2-2015

GB/T 18487.1-2023		 El Salvador has no official connector mandate confirmed from official sources in this review. Because it is an Americas-style 120/240 V, 60 Hz market, SAE J1772 Type 1 for AC charging and CCS1 for DC fast charging are the likely practical ecosystem for imported vehicles and public chargers. Exporters should confirm the connector required by SIGET, the distributor, site owner, tender, charge-point operator, and imported-vehicle mix before quoting or manufacturing.IEC 62196 connector-family reference
IEC 61851-1:2017 — control pilot and conductive charging system requirements
IEC 61851-23:2023 — DC electric vehicle supply equipment
Project or charge-point-operator specification for J1772 / CCS1 where required		 A GB/T-only charger needs hardware redesign to the locally required connector, likely J1772 for AC and CCS1 for DC unless the project specifies otherwise. The redesign affects coupler, cable, locking, pilot signaling, labels, temperature-rise evidence, DC communication, spare parts, and service procedures. Adapters should not be treated as a compliance substitute.[INFORMATIONAL] Do not assume GB/T connectors can be used in El Salvador. Confirm the project connector with SIGET or the project owner; Americas-market J1772 / CCS1 is the likely baseline, and GB/T hardware is physically incompatible.

El Salvador Grid Connection — 120/240 V, 60 Hz and SIGET / Distributor Coordination China domestic EVSE is normally designed around 220 V single-phase / 380 V three-phase, 50 Hz, with GB/T 18487.1-2023 design evidence and China grid-operator project acceptance. That evidence does not prove readiness for El Salvador's 60 Hz service or local utility interconnection review.GB/T 18487.1-2023

China local grid operator project-acceptance requirements		 El Salvador is an Americas-style 60 Hz electricity market. EV charger projects should be designed for local 120/240 V single-phase service where applicable and the local three-phase service made available by the site utility. SIGET is the public authority for electricity and telecommunications, and grid-connected charger installations should be coordinated with the relevant distribution company such as CAESS, DELSUR, AES CLESA, EEO, or DEUSEM. Exporters should prepare site load calculations, protection settings, metering approach, grounding, harmonics information, and commissioning documents for local utility review.SIGET electricity-sector authority and electricity legal framework

IEC 61000 series — electromagnetic compatibility and power-quality reference
IEC 61851-1:2017 — Electric vehicle conductive charging system — Part 1: General requirements		 A China domestic 50 Hz charger package must be revalidated for 60 Hz operation, local voltage range, transformer or rectifier ratings, thermal derating, leakage-current protection, grounding, metering, and distributor commissioning. Do not ship on a 220/380 V 50 Hz nameplate assumption without confirming the Salvadoran site supply and utility acceptance route.[INFORMATIONAL] Treat 60 Hz / 120-240 V compatibility and distributor coordination as first-gate checks for El Salvador. A China 50 Hz project file is not grid-ready without voltage, frequency, protection, metering, and commissioning review.

El Salvador Market Access — OSARTEC / OSN, SIGET, and Nascent EV Infrastructure A China exporter may hold GB/T test reports, CCC status where applicable, and China domestic grid-acceptance records. These can support technical due diligence but do not establish Salvadoran market access, customs treatment, Spanish labelling acceptance, connector suitability, or grid interconnection approval.GB/T 18487.1-2023

China CCC where in scope		 El Salvador's EV charging market is nascent but growing around San Salvador, commercial sites, fleets, and regional technology investment. Market entry should separate product conformity questions handled through OSARTEC / OSN or applicable Salvadoran technical regulations from electricity-sector installation and interconnection questions handled through SIGET, distributors, and site owners. Regional grid context, including Central American interconnection through SIEPAC, does not remove the need for local distributor approval and site-specific electrical design.OSARTEC / OSN technical regulation and standards route where applicable
SIGET electricity-sector legal framework
El Salvador General Electricity Law and implementing regulations where applicable
Distributor and site-owner project requirements		 Before claiming El Salvador readiness, map the importer of record, HS code, rated voltage, radio or cellular modules, connector configuration, Spanish labels and manuals, IEC safety and EMC reports, spare-parts plan, warranty support, and distributor connection route. Confirm directly with OSARTEC / OSN, SIGET, the distributor, and the project owner whether any local certificate, inspection, or registration applies.[INFORMATIONAL] El Salvador readiness is a product-plus-project review: OSARTEC / OSN conformity where applicable, SIGET and distributor coordination for power connection, and project confirmation for connector, OCPP, Spanish labelling, and service support.

Network Interoperability, OCPP Readiness, and EMC China DC fast chargers commonly use GB/T 27930 communication between the off-board charger and the vehicle BMS, while back-office protocols may be operator-specific. GB/T 27930 is a vehicle-charger DC protocol and is not a substitute for OCPP back-office integration or IEC 61000 EMC evidence.GB/T 27930-2023
GB/T 18487.1-2023
China operator-specific back-office protocols
China EMC test reports where available		 Networked chargers in El Salvador should be prepared for operator-specified OCPP back-office integration, remote monitoring, tariff or payment interface requirements, cybersecurity settings, and fault reporting. EMC and power-quality evidence should be organized against IEC 61000-family expectations and any OSARTEC / OSN adopted standard or project requirement. If the site connects to a fleet, shopping-center, workplace, or public network, OCPP version, SIM or Ethernet communication, metering, and data-retention requirements should be confirmed before shipment.IEC 61000 series — electromagnetic compatibility
IEC 61851-21-2 — EMC requirements for off-board electric vehicle charging systems
OCPP — operator-specified back-office communication for networked chargers
SIGET electricity and telecommunications regulatory context where communications services are involved		 Confirm the OCPP version and central-system endpoint, charger identity and certificate handling, network carrier, payment interface, meter data format, firmware-update process, and fault-notification requirements. Separately, prepare EMC and harmonic evidence against IEC 61000-family expectations. A charger that only documents GB/T 27930 DC communication is not network-ready for a Salvadoran public or fleet charging deployment.[INFORMATIONAL] Treat OCPP integration and EMC evidence as separate workstreams. GB/T 27930 is not a back-office protocol, and China EMC reports should be mapped to IEC 61000 and the Salvadoran project specification.

IEC 61851 Safety Baseline and OSARTEC / OSN Evidence China's comparable design baseline is GB/T 18487.1-2023, with China-specific connector, signaling, and communication requirements. A China GB/T report can support engineering review but is not direct proof of IEC 61851 conformity or Salvadoran conformity assessment acceptance.GB/T 18487.1-2023
GB/T 18487.5-2024
GB/T 27930-2023
GB/T 20234 series		 EVSE safety evidence for El Salvador should be organized around IEC 61851-1 for conductive charging general requirements and IEC 61851-23 for DC EV supply equipment where DC fast charging is supplied. OSARTEC / OSN conformity should be checked for any Salvadoran technical regulation or adopted standard applicable to electrical equipment, plugs, cables, enclosures, labelling, or conformity assessment. In the absence of a confirmed EVSE-specific official rule, project owners and utilities may still require IEC-family reports, enclosure protection evidence, installation instructions, and Spanish-language safety labelling.IEC 61851-1:2017 — Electric vehicle conductive charging system — Part 1: General requirements
IEC 61851-23:2023 — Electric vehicle conductive charging system — Part 23: DC electric vehicle supply equipment
IEC 60529 — Degrees of protection provided by enclosures (IP Code)
OSARTEC / OSN Salvadoran technical regulation or adopted-standard review where applicable		 Prepare an IEC 61851 clause matrix, IEC safety test reports, DC-station IEC 61851-23 evidence where applicable, IP and mechanical-impact evidence, protective-device ratings, Spanish manuals and warnings, and a statement mapping any GB/T evidence to IEC clauses. Confirm with OSARTEC / OSN and the project owner whether a local certificate, accredited test report, or supplier declaration is required.[INFORMATIONAL] Use GB/T 18487 as a design reference only. El Salvador-facing files should be mapped to IEC 61851 and checked against OSARTEC / OSN and project-owner conformity requirements before shipment.
