GAP MATRIX
Compliance Gap Matrix
| Compliance item | Common China baseline | Pakistan (PSQCA / NEPRA) | Gap / action | Source + verification date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| China GB/T EVSE Baseline Is Reference Evidence Only | China baseline files commonly cite GB/T 18487.1-2023 for conductive charging system general requirements and exact connection-device parts: GB/T 20234.1-2023, GB/T 20234.2-2015 for AC, GB/T 20234.3-2023 for DC, and GB/T 20234.4-2023 for high-power DC interfaces.GB/T 18487.1-2023 GB/T 20234.1-2023 GB/T 20234.2-2015 GB/T 20234.3-2023 GB/T 20234.4-2023 |
Pakistan public EV charger review should start from the NEPRA public charging-station framework, PSQCA/NEECA-approved standards where applicable, utility conditions, and project approvals rather than assuming China-market GB/T compliance is equivalent.NEPRA Regulatory Framework for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations PSQCA/NEECA approved standards where applicable IEC 61851 IEC 62196 |
Use the China GB/T package as a clause-mapping baseline. It does not prove Pakistan PSQCA adoption, NEPRA operational compliance, utility energisation, or IEC Type 2 / CCS2 connector conformity.[INFORMATIONAL] Treat China GB/T files as useful technical evidence, not as a Pakistan approval or market-access certificate. | State Administration for Market Regulation / Standardization Administration of China standards information platform2026-06-14 · unverified |
| Pakistan Public Chargers: IEC Type 2 and CCS2 Connector Route | China AC connector evidence commonly follows GB/T 20234.2-2015. China DC connector evidence commonly follows GB/T 20234.3-2023, with GB/T 20234.4-2023 relevant for China high-power DC designs. These GB/T routes are not the same physical and communication route as IEC Type 2 / CCS2 for Pakistan public chargers.GB/T 20234.2-2015 GB/T 20234.3-2023 GB/T 20234.4-2023 GB/T 27930 |
NEPRA's public charging-station framework points public Level 2 charging to IEC 62196 Type 2 and public DC charging to CCS2. Current IEC connector evidence should identify IEC 62196-2:2025 for AC pin/contact-tube accessories and IEC 62196-3:2022 for DC and AC/DC vehicle couplers, unless a project document calls up a different edition.NEPRA Regulatory Framework for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations IEC 62196-2:2025 IEC 62196-3:2022 CCS2 |
Merge AC, DC, and high-power connector checks into one hardware-conversion workstream: connector geometry, gender, locking, pilot/proximity signalling, DC communication route, cable assemblies, labels, and charger software must match Type 2 or CCS2 evidence. Adapters or GB/T reports alone should not be treated as Pakistan CCS2 readiness.[INFORMATIONAL] A China GB/T connector package should not be marketed as Pakistan-ready public charging hardware without Type 2 or CCS2-specific design and evidence. | National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA)2026-06-14 · unverified |
| Installation Geometry, Cable Use, and IP Rating | GB/T 18487.1-2023 and exact GB/T 20234.1-2023 / 20234.2-2015 / 20234.3-2023 / 20234.4-2023 evidence may cover product behavior and connector ratings, but they do not close Pakistan site geometry, extension-lead, weatherproofing, or post-installation inspection requirements.GB/T 18487.1-2023 GB/T 20234.1-2023 |
The NEPRA framework includes installation controls such as socket-outlet height, restrictions on extension cords or second supply leads, and IP expectations including minimum indoor and outdoor EVSE ratings.NEPRA Regulatory Framework for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations IEC 60529 |
Provide installation drawings, mounting heights, cable-reach calculations, cabinet and connector IP ratings, gland details, no-extension warnings, and inspection records separately from charger type-test reports.[INFORMATIONAL] Connector conversion is incomplete without Pakistan site-installation, weatherproofing, and user-safety evidence. | National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA)2026-06-14 · unverified |
| Public EV Charging Operation, Connection, Metering, and Tariff Cluster | China charger reports, GB/T 27930 backend records, and GB/T 18487.1-2023 safety evidence may support the technical file, but they do not establish Pakistan commercial consumer status, utility meter acceptance, billing margin, or public price-display compliance.GB/T 18487.1-2023 GB/T 27930 |
NEPRA's EV charging-station framework treats public EV charging as an operational and utility-service matter: commercial consumer categorisation, service connection topology, metering for total station and per-user kWh, applicable tariff or margin controls, and price display need to be handled through the operator and utility file.NEPRA Regulatory Framework for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Consumer Service Manual Performance Standards (Distribution) Rules Distribution Code |
Merge the previous connection, separate-service, metering, price-display, and policy rows into one operator dossier: utility application, single or multi-EVSE service assumptions, meter specifications and calibration, billing logic, audit logs, receipts, website/app price fields, and premises signage.[INFORMATIONAL] Pakistan public charging compliance is an operator-plus-utility workstream, not just an EVSE product certificate. | National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA)2026-06-14 · unverified |
| Grid Code 2023, Distribution Code, and CSM Context | GB/T 18487.1-2023 and exact GB/T 20234.1-2023 / 20234.2-2015 / 20234.3-2023 / 20234.4-2023 evidence do not replace Pakistan network studies, transformer capacity checks, protection coordination, harmonics assumptions, earthing review, service upgrades, or utility energisation steps.GB/T 18487.1-2023 GB/T 20234.1-2023 GB/T 20234.2-2015 GB/T 20234.3-2023 GB/T 20234.4-2023 |
NEPRA lists Grid Code 2023 and Distribution Code 2005 among official codes, while public EV charging connection and metering controls are mainly framed through the EV charging framework, Consumer Service Manual, Distribution Code, and utility conditions. Grid Code 2023 should not be described as an every-EVSE product rule.Grid Code 2023 Distribution Code 2005 Consumer Service Manual NEPRA Regulatory Framework for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations |
Frame grid compliance as a site and network-connection review. High-power or hub sites should prepare load, transformer, protection, harmonics, earthing, and service-upgrade data for the relevant DISCO or K-Electric process.[INFORMATIONAL] Treat Grid Code 2023 as network context where relevant, with CSM and Distribution Code controls doing most EV charging connection work. | National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA)2026-06-14 · unverified |
| PSQCA Adoption and Compulsory Scope Due Diligence | GB/T 18487.1-2023 and exact GB/T 20234.1-2023 / 20234.2-2015 / 20234.3-2023 reports can support a technical comparison, but they do not prove that PSQCA has adopted the same IEC edition or that PSQCA certification is compulsory for the exact charger.GB/T 18487.1-2023 GB/T 20234.1-2023 GB/T 20234.2-2015 GB/T 20234.3-2023 |
PSQCA publishes ISO/IEC adoption and compulsory-item information, but a blanket approved Pakistan Standard or compulsory PS mark route for every EV charger SKU was not confirmed from the cited public pages. Treat PSQCA status as a due-diligence item tied to the exact product, HS code, tender, importer route, and authority decision.PSQCA adopted ISO/IEC standards list PSQCA compulsory items list NEPRA Regulatory Framework for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations |
Name the exact Pakistan-approved or project-accepted standard route before making claims. If no specific PSQCA rule can be identified, frame the row as project due diligence rather than mandatory certification.[INFORMATIONAL] Do not overclaim PSQCA adoption or compulsory certification without the exact approved Pakistan Standard, edition, and product scope. | Pakistan Standards and Quality Control Authority (PSQCA)2026-06-14 · unverified |
| IEC 61851-1 and IEC 62893-1 Evidence Called Up by Project Framework | GB/T 18487.1-2023 is the China conductive charging system general-requirements baseline. Exact GB/T 20234.1-2023 / 20234.2-2015 / 20234.3-2023 / 20234.4-2023 connector ratings and domestic cable specifications may be useful, but the Pakistan file should map them to the IEC or manufacturer-instruction route required by the project.GB/T 18487.1-2023 GB/T 20234.1-2023 GB/T 20234.2-2015 GB/T 20234.3-2023 GB/T 20234.4-2023 |
NEPRA's public EV charging-station framework refers to manufacturer instructions or relevant IEC 61851-1 insulation requirements, and to manufacturer instructions or IEC 62893-1 for charging-station or charging-point power supply cables.NEPRA Regulatory Framework for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations IEC 61851-1 IEC 62893-1 |
Prepare an IEC cross-reference table for insulation, protection, control pilot, earthing, abnormal-condition, and cable requirements. Include cable certificates, datasheets, temperature and outdoor ratings, and manufacturer installation instructions.[INFORMATIONAL] Pakistan public charging files should include IEC or manufacturer-instruction evidence for insulation and cables, not only China GB/T charger reports. | National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA)2026-06-14 · unverified |
| Safety Signage, Local-Language Information, Fire, and Building Interface | GB/T charger evidence and Chinese-language labels do not replace Pakistan site signage, local-language user information, emergency instructions, fire-system design, building-code review, or local fire approval.GB/T 18487.1-2023 | NEPRA's framework includes safe charging tips, danger and caution signage in Urdu, English, or a language understood locally, fire prevention systems, fire-retardant/self-extinguishing enclosures, and fire detection, alarm, and control systems aligned with manufacturer instructions, Pakistan Building Codes, and national or provincial legal requirements.NEPRA Regulatory Framework for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Pakistan Building Codes Provincial or local fire-safety requirements |
Localise cabinet labels, mobile-app warnings, emergency shutdown instructions, safe-charging tips, operator training, fire-retardant material evidence, fire detection and alarm design, and site approval records.[INFORMATIONAL] Pakistan EV charger deployment needs local-language safety materials and site fire/building evidence in addition to product tests. | National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA)2026-06-14 · unverified |
