| Connector Standard Gap — China GB/T 20234 vs IEC 62196 (CCS / Type 2) in Peru | China uses GB/T 20234 series for EV charging connectors: GB/T 20234.2 (AC charging) and GB/T 20234.3 (DC fast charging). The GB/T connector physical interface and communication protocol differ from IEC 62196 / CCS. A charger designed for GB/T connectors cannot charge an IEC 62196 / CCS vehicle without hardware adaptation.GB/T 20234.1 (general requirements) GB/T 20234.2 (AC charging connector) GB/T 20234.3 (DC fast-charging connector) |
Peru's DS 036-2023-EM charging infrastructure regulation is IEC-based. The international connector standards applicable in Peru are IEC 62196 series: IEC 62196-2 (Type 2 — AC charging, commonly used for AC Mode 3 charging in Latin America) and IEC 62196-3 (DC charging connectors including CCS Combo 2 and CHAdeMO). Peru has also adopted EDP-IEC PAS 61851-1-1:2024, covering the Type 4 (GB/T) AC vehicle coupler based on IEC PAS 61851-1-1:2023; this is relevant for China-origin AC coupler assessment but does not make GB/T-only chargers broadly interoperable with Peru's IEC 62196 / CCS vehicle fleet. The Peruvian EV market primarily uses IEC 62196 Type 2 (AC) and CCS Combo 2 (DC fast charging). Exporters should supply IEC 62196 Type 2 AC connectors and CCS Combo 2 (or CHAdeMO) DC connectors for market interoperability unless a project specifically requires Type 4 (GB/T) AC hardware.IEC 62196-2 (Type 2 AC connectors and vehicle inlets) IEC 62196-3 (DC connectors — CCS Combo 2, CHAdeMO) EDP-IEC PAS 61851-1-1:2024 (Type 4 / GB/T AC vehicle coupler) DS 036-2023-EM (Peru SAVE infrastructure regulation — IEC-based) |
The connector gap is hardware — a GB/T-only charger cannot serve IEC 62196 vehicles. Export chargers for Peru must be equipped with IEC 62196 Type 2 (AC) and CCS Combo 2 (DC) connectors or vehicle inlets. Confirm whether DS 036-2023-EM specifies mandatory connector types; verify with a Peruvian specialist.[INFORMATIONAL] A GB/T-only EV charger cannot serve the Peruvian EV market. Export units for Peru must use IEC 62196 Type 2 (AC) and CCS Combo 2 or CHAdeMO (DC fast) connectors. Confirm the connector requirements under DS 036-2023-EM with a Peruvian specialist before shipment. | Diario Oficial El Peruano — Resolución Directoral N° 023-2025-INACAL/DN2026-06-14 · unverified |
| Peru 60 Hz Grid Validation for EV Chargers | Chinese domestic EVSE is configured and tested for 50 Hz grid service under GB/T 18487. A 50 Hz-only type test, nameplate, firmware profile, or EMC report should not be assumed to cover Peru's 60 Hz service conditions.GB/T 18487.1 GB/T 18487.3 China 50 Hz grid design basis |
Peru uses a 60 Hz electricity system at 220 V single-phase and 380 V three-phase. EV chargers designed and tested for China's 50 Hz, 220 V / 380 V (three-phase) grid must be revalidated for 60 Hz input operation. Relevant areas include: input power frequency range and 60 Hz certification evidence, protection relay timing, metering accuracy at 60 Hz, thermal behavior at rated load under 60 Hz supply, EMC or harmonic evidence obtained at 60 Hz, and nameplate values matching the Peru grid. DS 036-2023-EM requires that SAVE equipment functions safely under Peruvian grid conditions. Osinergmin's NTCSE quality norms apply to the grid supply point.DS 036-2023-EM — Peru SAVE infrastructure regulation (effective June 2024) NTCSE — Norma Técnica de Calidad de los Servicios Eléctricos (DS 020-97-EM, Osinergmin) Peru 60 Hz, 220 V / 380 V nominal grid conditions |
Provide 60 Hz model configuration evidence, input-stage validation at 60 Hz, thermal validation at rated load under 60 Hz supply, power-quality and EMC evidence at 60 Hz, metering accuracy at 60 Hz, and Peru-matching nameplate values. Confirm DS 036-2023-EM technical compliance and NTCSE grid service conditions with an installation specialist.[INFORMATIONAL] Re-validate the charger as a 60 Hz Peru grid product. A 50 Hz China configuration is not sufficient without 60 Hz input testing, nameplate values, protection timing, and metering accuracy evidence under Peru's grid conditions. | Diario Oficial El Peruano — DS 036-2023-EM2026-06-14 · unverified |
| NTP-IEC 61851 Conductive EV Charging System Safety | China's domestic EV charger safety standard is GB/T 18487 series. GB/T 18487.1 covers general requirements and GB/T 18487.3 covers DC charging equipment. These Chinese standards do not satisfy Peru's NTP-IEC 61851 conformity requirements. Chinese manufacturers targeting export markets commonly also hold IEC 61851 test reports from accredited laboratories.GB/T 18487.1 GB/T 18487.3 NB/T 33001 NB/T 33008 |
INACAL has adopted IEC 61851 series standards as Peruvian Technical Standards. EDP-IEC PAS 61851-1-1:2024 adopts IEC PAS 61851-1-1:2023 for the Type 4 (GB/T) AC vehicle coupler, which is important when mapping China GB/T AC charging hardware to Peru. NTP-IEC 61851-24:2025 was approved by Resolución Directoral N° 023-2025-INACAL/DN and covers digital communication for DC EV supply equipment controlling DC charging up to 1,500 V DC. EV chargers (SAVE — Suministro para Abastecimiento de Vehículos Eléctricos) installed in Peru under DS 036-2023-EM are expected to conform to the IEC 61851 safety framework. Exporters should confirm the current edition of each NTP-IEC 61851 part with INACAL before shipment and obtain IEC 61851 conformity test evidence from an accredited laboratory.EDP-IEC PAS 61851-1-1:2024 (INACAL adoption of IEC PAS 61851-1-1:2023 — Type 4 / GB/T AC vehicle coupler) NTP-IEC 61851-24:2025 (approved by Resolución Directoral N° 023-2025-INACAL/DN — DC EV supply equipment digital communication) IEC 61851-1:2017 (general requirements, international base) IEC 61851-23:2023 (DC EV supply equipment) DS 036-2023-EM (Peru SAVE infrastructure regulation) |
Confirm the exported charger model has IEC 61851 conformity test reports (Part 1 for AC, Part 23 for DC) from an accredited laboratory accepted in Peru. Verify the applicable NTP-IEC 61851 editions and DS 036-2023-EM technical requirements with a Peruvian specialist. GB/T 18487 reports alone do not satisfy Peru requirements.[INFORMATIONAL] Obtain IEC 61851 conformity test reports (Part 1 and/or Part 23 as applicable) for the exported charger model before shipping to Peru. Verify the applicable NTP edition and DS 036-2023-EM technical requirements.

| Peru DS 036-2023-EM SAVE Infrastructure Regulation and EV Policy | China's EV charging infrastructure is governed by national and local regulations including the Charging Infrastructure Development Guidelines (2015) and standards managed by MIIT and NEA. China's regulatory framework is not recognized or referenced in Peru's DS 036-2023-EM.China EV Charging Infrastructure Development Guidelines (2015) GB/T 27930 (communication protocol between off-board DC charger and EV) MIIT and NEA charging infrastructure regulations |
DS 036-2023-EM (Decreto Supremo No. 036-2023-EM), effective June 30, 2024, is Peru's primary regulation for the installation and operation of electric mobility charging infrastructure. It defines SAVE (Suministro para Abastecimiento de Vehículos Eléctricos) as EV supply equipment providing AC or DC power to vehicles via dedicated circuits. The regulation sets minimum requirements for implementation, operation, safety, and maintenance of charging infrastructure including public and private access stations. MINEM supervises the regulatory framework and Osinergmin oversees operational supervision. EV policy development is ongoing: Peru reached 3.9% EV penetration in the light-vehicle segment by November 2024 and sales are projected to exceed 10,000 units in 2025. Law No. 32,249 (January 2025) reformed electricity procurement to be technology-neutral, which may influence future EV charging tariff frameworks.DS 036-2023-EM (Reglamento para la Instalación y Operación de la Infraestructura de Carga de la Movilidad Eléctrica — effective 30 June 2024) Ley No. 32,249 (January 2025 — technology-neutral electricity procurement reform) MINEM and Osinergmin supervision roles for EV charging infrastructure |
Prepare a DS 036-2023-EM compliance package for the charging station installation: installation drawings per regulatory specifications, safety and maintenance documentation in Spanish, SAVE equipment technical datasheet aligned with IEC 61851 and IEC 62196, and confirmation of the grid connection and metering arrangements with the local distribution company.[INFORMATIONAL] DS 036-2023-EM has been effective since June 30, 2024. All SAVE installations in Peru must comply with its requirements. Prepare Spanish-language compliance documentation aligned with IEC 61851 and IEC 62196 before shipping chargers to Peru. | Diario Oficial El Peruano — DS 036-2023-EM (Decreto Supremo No. 036-2023-EM, ENERGÍA Y MINAS)2026-06-14 · unverified |
