9. May 2016In addition to the new GB standards for the Voluntary CQC Mark Certification of “Conductive Charging Systems for Electric Vehicles” (GB/T18487-2015) and “Connection Sets of Conductive Charging for Electric Vehicles” (GB/T 20234-2015) the SAC (Standardization Administration of the People’s Republic of China) and AQSIQ (General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People’s Republic of China) also issued a new version of the GB standard for the Voluntary CQC Mark Certification of “communication protocols between off-board conductive charger and battery management system for electric vehicle” (GB/T 27930-2015). This new version was implemented on January 1, 2016 and replaces the old version of 2011.
The main technical changes that were added are as follows:
- 50 kbit/s communication rate may be adopted as agreement between power equipment manufacturer and electric vehicle manufacturer in the bad communication environment (e.g. commercial vehicle charging station with longer communication distance).
- Reasons for BMS`s suspending charging failure are added.
- Charging sequence flow chart.
- Failure process modes in charging
- Start and suspension conditions for message transmission.
Since this announcement manufacturers can apply for certification in accordance with the new GB-standard or apply for the update of existing certificates with the CQC.
