GAP MATRIX
Compliance Gap Matrix
| Compliance item | Common China baseline | Jordan (JSMO / EMRC) | Gap / action | Source + verification date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50 Hz Supply Assumptions and Electrical Ratings | China-market chargers are also commonly designed around 50 Hz supply, but the exact voltage configuration, earthing arrangement, distribution transformer, conductor sizing, RCD selection, and site protective settings may differ. A China nameplate rated at 50 Hz is not enough to prove Jordan installation compatibility.GB/T 18487.1 China low-voltage installation practice for EVSE Project-specific China utility drawings |
Jordan charger installations should be specified for the local 50 Hz electricity system and the actual low-voltage or medium-voltage connection offered by the utility. The technical file should confirm input voltage tolerance, frequency range, phase configuration, neutral and earthing assumptions, derating, thermal performance, protective-device coordination, and labels or manuals that match the Jordan installation.Jordan utility connection requirements for the site IEC 61851 installation and rating assumptions Applicable low-voltage electrical installation requirements |
The gap is usually in installation assumptions rather than nominal frequency. Exporters should prepare a Jordan-specific electrical data sheet, input terminal schedule, fault-current withstand data, protective-device recommendations, ambient-temperature derating, and commissioning checks for the intended supply.[INFORMATIONAL] A 50 Hz nameplate helps but does not close the Jordan installation gap. Verify the exact utility supply, earthing, protection, and derating assumptions for each charger site. | National Electric Power Company (NEPCO), Jordan2026-06-14 · unverified |
| China GB/T 18487 and GB/T 20234 Baseline Versus Jordan Evidence Pack | The China baseline normally includes GB/T 18487.1-2023 for conductive charging system general requirements, GB/T 20234.1-2023 for connection-device general requirements, GB/T 20234.2-2015 for AC charging interfaces, GB/T 20234.3-2023 for DC charging interfaces, and GB/T 27930 for DC charger-to-BMS communication. These standards are useful for engineering comparison but must be mapped clause-by-clause and design-by-design before being used in Jordan.GB/T 18487.1-2023 GB/T 20234.1-2023 GB/T 20234.2-2015 GB/T 20234.3-2023 GB/T 27930 |
A Jordan market file should translate China GB/T evidence into the target approval context: JSMO scope check, EMRC station permit and operating licence where relevant, IEC 61851 safety and EMC matrix, IEC 62196 connector matrix, utility connection data, English or Arabic user-facing documents, and site commissioning records.JSMO standards and conformity routes by product scope EMRC electric vehicle charging station services IEC 61851 / IEC 62196 as requested by project or approval route |
The evidence pack should avoid one-to-one equivalence claims. It should list GB/T test clauses, corresponding IEC or Jordan requirements, deviations, connector redesigns, missing EMC or safety reports, language and label changes, and responsibility split between exporter, importer, installer, operator, and site owner.[INFORMATIONAL] Use GB/T files as source evidence, not as the Jordan conclusion. A credible Jordan file maps GB/T 18487.1-2023, GB/T 20234.1-2023, GB/T 20234.2-2015, and GB/T 20234.3-2023 against JSMO, EMRC, IEC, connector, grid, and site-commissioning requirements. | State Administration for Market Regulation / Standardization Administration of China2026-06-14 · unverified |
| Connector Interoperability — GB/T 20234 Versus IEC 62196 | China-market AC and DC chargers commonly use GB/T 20234.1-2023 connection-device general requirements, GB/T 20234.2-2015 AC connector geometry and signaling, GB/T 20234.3-2023 DC connector geometry and signaling, and GB/T 27930 communication for DC charging. GB/T connectors are not physically interchangeable with IEC Type 2 or CCS2 equipment and may require redesign of the connector, cable assembly, locking, pilot or proximity circuits, communication stack, labels, and safety evaluation.GB/T 18487.1-2023 GB/T 20234.1-2023 GB/T 20234.2-2015 GB/T 20234.3-2023 GB/T 27930 |
Jordan deployments serving imported vehicles or public networks should confirm the required IEC 62196 connector family before procurement. AC charging commonly needs IEC 62196-2 Type 2 compatibility where European-market vehicles are served, while DC fast charging may require an IEC 62196-3 configuration such as CCS Combo 2 or another connector specified by the operator, fleet, or tender.IEC 62196-1 IEC 62196-2 IEC 62196-3 |
Connector conversion is a hardware and protocol gap, not a label change. The charger file should identify the target vehicle population, connector configuration, cable ampacity, locking and touch-protection design, communication protocol, adapter policy, and whether the same safety certificate remains valid after changing from GB/T to IEC connectors.[INFORMATIONAL] Do not present GB/T 20234 connectors as Jordan-ready IEC 62196 connectors. Confirm Type 2, CCS2, or other required interfaces with the site owner, operator, imported vehicle mix, and approval route. | International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)2026-06-14 · unverified |
| EMRC Construction Permit and Operating Licence for EV Charging Stations | China domestic charger projects usually rely on local filing, power-capacity approval, utility access, fire or construction review where applicable, and GB/T product files. These China-side approvals are site-specific and do not replace EMRC's Jordan construction and operation licensing route.China local EV charging infrastructure filing practice China utility connection approval practice GB/T 18487 / GB/T 20234 product documentation |
The Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission lists electronic services for issuing construction permits and operating licences for electric-vehicle charging stations. A charger shipment intended for a public or commercial station should therefore be coordinated with the Jordan site owner's EMRC permit and operating-licence file, including ownership, site drawings, grid connection, equipment specifications, safety documents, and any operator obligations.EMRC electronic service for construction permit of electric vehicle charging stations EMRC electronic service for operating licence of electric vehicle charging stations Jordan electricity-sector licensing and service rules applicable to the site |
The product supplier should avoid treating equipment delivery as separate from site licensing. For public or commercial chargers, provide the Jordan applicant with drawings, single-line diagrams, charger ratings, certificates or reports, connector details, O&M manuals, cybersecurity or network-operation details where relevant, and commissioning records needed for EMRC and utility review.[INFORMATIONAL] For Jordan public or commercial charging stations, align the charger technical package with the EMRC permit and operating-licence process before shipment or commissioning. | Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission (EMRC), Jordan2026-06-14 · unverified |
| IEC 61851 Conductive Charging Safety and EMC Baseline | China commonly uses GB/T 18487.1 as the conductive charging system baseline, with related EMC and DC charging provisions and GB/T 27930 communication for many off-board DC chargers. GB/T 18487 is technically related to IEC 61851 but a China-only report may not show all IEC clauses, edition alignment, English documentation, local installation assumptions, or third-party acceptance requested in Jordan.GB/T 18487.1 GB/T 18487.2 GB/T 27930 |
Jordan projects and procurement files may request IEC-based evidence for EV conductive charging systems, especially IEC 61851-1 general requirements and the IEC 61851 EMC and DC charging station parts relevant to the charger type. Evidence should cover charging modes, control pilot behavior, protective earthing, residual-current protection assumptions, insulation monitoring where applicable, environmental ratings, markings, and off-board charger EMC.IEC 61851-1 IEC 61851-21-2 IEC 61851-23 / IEC 61851-24 where DC charging applies |
The practical gap is evidence mapping. A Jordan project file should include an IEC 61851 clause matrix, safety and EMC test reports, installation instructions for Jordan's supply system, RCD and earthing assumptions, and clear identification of whether the charger is AC Mode 3, DC Mode 4, or another configuration.[INFORMATIONAL] Build an IEC 61851 evidence pack instead of relying only on GB/T 18487 reports. Jordan-side acceptance usually turns on the charger mode, installation design, and reviewer-specified IEC edition. | International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)2026-06-14 · unverified |
| JSMO Standards Search and EV Approval Route | China-market charger files usually reference GB/T 18487, GB/T 20234, GB/T 27930, factory inspection records, CCC-adjacent electrical safety evidence where applicable, Chinese labels, and domestic test reports. These materials help technical review but do not prove that JSMO has accepted the product scope, labels, connector configuration, or Jordan market approval route.GB/T 18487.1-2023 GB/T 20234.1-2023 GB/T 20234.2-2015 GB/T 20234.3-2023 GB/T 27930 |
Jordan's Standards and Metrology Organization provides an official standards search service and an electronic service for electric-vehicle approval. For EV chargers, exporters should confirm whether the intended product, connector, cable assembly, metering, label, or related vehicle approval file is within a current JSMO Jordanian standard, technical regulation, pre-approval, or conformity-document review route before shipment.JSMO standards search service JSMO electric vehicle approval electronic service JS IEC 61851-1:2022 Jordanian standards and technical regulations applicable by product scope |
The first gap is not a test clause but a scope determination. Exporters should collect product classification, HS code, rated input and output, connector type, installation use case, labels, manuals, and existing GB/T or IEC reports, then verify the applicable JSMO service path and whether a local importer, pre-approval record, or conformity-document review is needed.[INFORMATIONAL] Treat JSMO scope confirmation as an entry task. Do not assume a China GB/T charger file is sufficient for Jordan until the applicable JSMO standards, labels, and approval route have been checked. | Jordan Standards and Metrology Organization (JSMO)2026-06-14 · unverified |
| NEPCO and Distribution-Utility Grid Connection Review | China projects commonly prepare utility capacity-application files, transformer sizing, low-voltage or medium-voltage connection drawings, harmonic calculations, and GB/T charger specifications. These are useful engineering inputs but must be recalculated for Jordan's utility, feeder, tariff, metering, and protection requirements.China utility connection practice for EV charging sites GB/T 18487 power quality and charger documentation Project-specific low-voltage or medium-voltage design documents |
Jordan's electricity system is coordinated through NEPCO and regulated electricity-sector participants, with distribution utilities and site owners controlling practical connection studies for chargers. High-power AC or DC EVSE may need capacity review, transformer and feeder checks, protection coordination, metering design, load-management logic, harmonic and flicker assessment, and commissioning acceptance before energization.NEPCO electricity-system role and public grid information Distribution utility connection conditions applicable to the site Jordan electricity-sector regulation and metering requirements |
The grid gap is site-specific. Exporters should provide accurate charger demand profiles, maximum simultaneous load, power factor, harmonic-current data, inrush behavior, protective device settings, communication for load management, and commissioning test procedures so the Jordan applicant can complete distribution-company and EMRC review.[INFORMATIONAL] Treat NEPCO and distribution-utility connection review as a site engineering workstream. Product certificates alone do not authorize energizing a high-power charger in Jordan. | National Electric Power Company (NEPCO), Jordan2026-06-14 · unverified |
| Jordan EV Policy, Public Charging Rollout, and Operator Obligations | China public-charging networks often comply with domestic platform, metering, payment, fire-safety, grid, and local filing practices. These operational controls do not transfer automatically to Jordan because EMRC licensing, customer-facing terms, tariff treatment, and utility coordination are local.China local EV charging operation rules China public charging platform and metering practices GB/T charger and communication documentation |
Jordan's EV-charging compliance is partly shaped by policy and regulated-service implementation, not only product standards. Public or commercial charging may require alignment with EMRC service licensing, site-owner commitments, tariff or metering arrangements, consumer information, uptime and maintenance expectations, payment or network operations, and future policy updates supporting EV adoption.EMRC electric vehicle charging station services Jordan electricity-sector regulation for licensed services Jordan government EV and energy-transition policy measures as updated |
The policy gap is in operating model documentation. Exporters supplying networked chargers should prepare APIs or OCPP profiles, metering accuracy data, customer display language, maintenance plans, spare-parts support, cybersecurity controls, and remote monitoring evidence that the Jordan operator can use in its licensing and service files.[INFORMATIONAL] Product compliance is only one layer. For public Jordan charging, prepare operator-facing documentation that supports EMRC licensing, metering, customer service, and network-operation obligations. | Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission (EMRC), Jordan2026-06-14 · unverified |
