1 Scope
This standard specifies design, dimensions and test requirements for halogen-free cables with
extruded insulation and sheath having a voltage rating of up to and including 450/750 V for flexible
applications under severe condition for the power supply between the electricity supply point or the
charging station and the electric vehicle (EV).
The EV charging cable is intended to supply power and if needed communication (details see
EN 61851-1 and the EN 62196 series) to an electric vehicle. The charging cables are applicable for
charging modes 1-3 of EN 61851-1. The cables in this standard with rated voltage 300/500 V are only
permitted for charging mode 1 of EN 61851-1.
The maximum conductor operating temperatures for the cables in this standard is 90 °C.
The cables may be:
a) an integral part of the vehicle (case A of EN 61851-1); or
b) a detachable cable assembly with a vehicle connector and AC supply connection to a socket
outlet (case B of EN 61851-1); or
c) permanently attached to a fixed charging point (case C of EN 61851-1).

This standard describes cables whose safety and reliability is ensured when they are installed and/or
used in accordance to the guide to use EN 50565-1 and Annex B.

SIST EN 50620:2017
EN 50620:2017 (E)
4 Rated voltage
The rated voltage of a cable is the reference voltage for which the cable is designed.
The rated voltage in an alternating current system, is expressed by the combination of two values
U0/U, expressed in volts, where:
a) U0 is the r.m.s. value between any insulated conductor and “earth” (metal covering of the cable or
the surrounding medium);
b) U is the r.m.s. value between any two phase conductors of a multicore cable or of a system of
single core cables.
In an alternating current system, the rated voltage of a cable or cord shall be at least equal to the
nominal voltage of the system for which it is intended. This condition applies to the values of both U0
and U.
The operating voltage of a system may permanently exceed the nominal voltage of the system. The
maximum permanent permitted operating voltage of the cable is stated in Table 1.

5 Marking
5.1 Indication of origin
Cables shall be provided with an identification of origin consisting of:
a) either the manufacturer’s identification thread;
b) or the continuous marking of the manufacturer’s name or his trademark, or (if legally protected)
his identification number, by one of the three following methods:
1) printed tape within the cable;
2) printing, indenting or embossing on the insulation of at least one core. Any core may be
chosen;
3) printing, indenting or embossing on the sheath.
5.2 Continuity of marking
Each specified marking shall be regarded as continuous if the distance between the end of the mark
and the beginning of the next identical mark does not exceed:
a) 550 mm if the marking is on the outer sheath of the cable;

EN 50620:2017 (E)
b) 275 mm if the marking is:
1) on the insulation of a sheathed cable;
2) on a tape within a sheathed cable.
NOTE A “Specified Marking” is any marking that is prescribed as a normative requirement by this EN.
Other marking, such as that required under recognized voluntary third party approval schemes, may
also follow the requirements of this subclause.
Figure 1 shows an example of the marking as used on the outer sheath of the cable.
Figure 1 — Example of marking

5.3 Use of the name CENELEC
(standards.iteh.ai)
The name CENELEC, in full or abbreviated, shall not be marked on, or in the cables.

5.5 Additional voluntary marking
Additional markings, for example the year of manufacture, are permitted, but are not requirements of
this standard. If an additional marking is applied it shall neither conflict nor interfere with the required
markings in 5.1 and 5.4. Any additional voluntary marking shall be throughout the length of the cable,
and shall be on the external surface of the cable.
Such markings, which are permitted to be applied on the same line as the obligatory marking, or on an
additional line, shall be repeated at intervals not exceeding 1 100 mm.
