Security

When: Phase 1B – December 2022

From December 2022, additional requirements around security will come into force. In general, these requirements state that charge points and devices must protect against the risk of harm or disruption to the electricity system, the device itself and the personal data of end-users.

This includes requirements on:

• Passwords
• Software and updates
• Sensitive security parameters
• Secure communication
• Data inputs
• Ease of use
• Protection against attacks (both cyber and physical)
• Security logs
• Provision of information

This requirement affects hardware, firmware and software and will need to be considered before production.
