What the EV charge-point certificate covers

An EV charge point installation certificate records a dedicated charger install (make, model, rating and connector) alongside the protective measures that matter for EV charging: the earthing arrangement, open-PEN protection, the RCD and DC fault protection, and the commissioning tests. It proves the installation was designed, inspected and tested to BS 7671 and the relevant EV charging standards.

Who needs one

  • Electricians installing domestic or commercial EV chargers
  • Proving open-PEN protection and Type A + RDC-DD arrangements were tested and commissioned
  • OZEV / grant-scheme installations that need documented compliance
  • Handing the homeowner or fleet operator a commissioning record for the charger

Questions sole traders ask

Does it cover open-PEN and DC fault protection?

Yes. The certificate captures the earthing arrangement, the open-PEN protection method, the RCD type and rating, the DC fault (RDC-DD) protection and the commissioning tests. The detail an EV charge point install specifically requires under BS 7671.

Is the EV certificate software free?

Can I use it for grant-funded installs?

Yes. The certificate produces a documented commissioning record you can keep alongside a manufacturer record and any DNO notification reference, which is what grant and scheme paperwork typically asks for.
