International Testing Events for the Combined Charging System CCS.
Home of Interop & Conformance Testing for CCS Standards
This website provides NEWS and UPDATES about upcoming and past ISO 15118 TESTING SYMPOSIA as well as CharIN TESTIVALS in order to provide one central information hub on any testing events for CCS technology.
Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Communication in the form of the Combined Charging System (CCS) is a core enabling technology for fast charging EVs as well as for future Smart Grid integration. Its interoperability is key for user acceptance and economies of scale, but at the same time a major technical challenge due to the huge number of different implementations, individual use cases and requirements on a diverse global market.
The testing events announced on this website embrace this challenge and bring together companies from the Smart Charging community and their technology experts to conduct conformance & interoperability tests for Electric Vehicles and Charging Infrastructures or respective Electronic Control Units (ECUs) and Communication Controllers.
Rather than talking about interoperability, such testing events are hands-on, digging deep into implementing, supporting and testing interoperability. By participating at these events your company or organization benefits through unprecedented networking with international technology experts in the area of smart charging communication.
The ISO/IEC 15118 Testing Symposium was introduced in 2014 in order to validate ISO 15118 standardization activities, perform interoperability tests among EVs and EVSEs and furthermore to validate ISO 15118 conformance test systems. The event is co-located to the ISO/IEC 15118 Joint Working Group (JWG) standardization meetings being hosted in Europe, North America and Asia. The event was well-received and grew quickly over the last few years. For further information browse through previous events in the history section.
With the advent of the CharIN Testival the ISO/IEC 15118 Testing Symposia will from now on ONLY COVER COMMUNICATION CONTROLLER / ECU TESTING. The event focuses on further development and advanced features of ISO 15118 standards. The events are organized by the ISO/IEC 15118 Joint Working Group with technical organization by VERISCO. Upcoming events are announced on this website with participant and registration information (see upcoming events section). Participation at the ISO 15118 Testing Symposium is free of charge.
The ISO 15118 Testing Symposium enables you and your company to:
Based on the foundation of the Testing Symposia, the CharIN Testivals are newly introduced and organized by the Charging Initiative (CharIN). The CharIN Testivals focus on system and product level testing as well as testing of near-serial production features. In scope of the CharIN Testivals are real EV and EVSE interoperability tests as well as COMMUNICATION CONTROLLER / ECU tests as well as test with CCS TEST SYSTEMS for EV/EVCC/EVSE/SECC. Co-located with the CharIN Testivals, there are several side events like, conferences, panels, demos and workshops providing a unique CCS networking platform. Upcoming events are announced on this website with participant registration handled by CharIN. VERISCO provides technical support for the registration of test equipment and test planning for the CharIN Testivals. For further information, please go to the upcoming events section.
