Standards, safety and compliance
What the regulations actually require, and by when.
About this topic
UK Smart Charge Point Regulations and the changes arriving in 2026 and 2027, EU AFIR, cyber security for connected chargers, and the safety questions that come up around batteries and charging. We build to these standards in our own products, so these articles tend to be about what compliance means in practice rather than what the documents say.
