Is the NECA 413-2012 Standard the only ANSI-approved standard for EVSE installation and maintenance?

The assertion that the NECA 413-2012 Standard is the only ANSI-approved standard for Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) installation and maintenance is not accurate. While NECA 413-2012 is indeed a recognized standard that addresses certain aspects of EVSE installation and maintenance, it is not the sole ANSI-approved standard. Various ANSI-approved standards address different aspects of EV charging, maintenance, safety, and performance. These standards are critical in ensuring consistency, safety, and reliability across the industry.

For instance, other standards might include those established by organizations such as SAE International, Underwriters Laboratories (UL), or the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), among others. Each of these organizations might contribute different standards pertinent to the operation and safety of EVSE, making it essential for stakeholders in the EV industry to be aware of multiple standards rather than focusing solely on one.
