5. Title, number of  pages and language(s) of the notified document:  Draft of 
Egyptian standard "Charging cables for electric vehicles of rated voltages up to and 
including 0,6/1 kV – Part 1: General requirements"; (24 page(s), in Arabic)  
6. Description of content:  This draf t of Egyptian standard specifies construction, 
dimensions and test requirements for cables with extruded insulation and sheath having 
a voltage rating of up to and including 0,6/1 kV AC or up to and including 1 500 V DC for 
flexible applications under hars h conditions for the power supply between the electricity 
supply point of the charging station and the electric vehicle (EV).  
The EV charging cable is intended to supply power and, if needed, communication (for 
details see the IEC 62196 series and IEC 61851 -1) to an EV or plug -in hybrid vehicle 
(PHEV). The charging cables are applicable for charging modes 1 to 4 of IEC 61851 -1. 
Ordinary duty cables with rated voltage 300/500 V are only permitted for charging mode 
1 of IEC 61851 -1. Maximum conductor temp erature for the cables in this part of IEC 
62893 is 90 ºC.  
The particular types of cables are specified in IEC 62893 -3 (modes 1 to 3 for AC charging) 
and in the future IEC 62893 -4 (mode 4 for DC charging).  
These parts are collectively referred to hereafter  as "the particular specifications".  
The test methods specified are given in IEC 62893 -2, IEC 60245 -2, IEC 60332 -1-2, IEC 
62821 -1:2015, Annex B, and in the relevant parts of IEC 60811, as listed in the normative 
references.  G/TBT/N/EGY/336
