PAS 1899
PAS 1899:2022 is the British specification for making public EV charge points and their surrounding charging environment accessible to a wider range of users. It was published by BSI in October 2022 and remains current. The specification covers matters such as the physical environment, charge-point placement and information provision. It applies to different public charging arrangements, including tethered and socketed equipment. PAS 1899 is focused on accessibility. It is intended to be used alongside the other standards and regulations that govern electrical installation, equipment safety and public charging.
