ISO/IEC 15118 Testing Symposium

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:

• participate in tests and evaluate CHARGING COMMUNICATION between EV and EVSE COMMUNICATION CONTROLLER / ECUs
• experiment and validate newly implemented and advanced features based on ISO 15118
• test with the latest ISO 15118 CONFORMANCE TEST SYSTEMS on the market
• exchange with ISO 15118 experts from around the globe

CharIN Testival

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.

The CharIN Testival enables you and your company to:

• participate in EV and EVSE (FULL SYSTEM) tests in order to validate CCS interoperability
• participate in EV and EVSE COMMUNICATION CONTROLLER tests
• test with the latest CCS TEST SYSTEMS on the market
• increase robustness of near series-production CCS equipment
• take a deep dive in networking and exchange with CCS experts from around the globe
• participate in conferences, expert talks, panel discussions etc.
• participate and / or contribute to demos and workshops
• take a tour of the testing lot offering an opportunity to see electric vehicles, chargers, communication controllers and test systems available or coming to the market in the very near future
