Conformity with calibration law
The calibration law applies equally to all companies and private individuals who make their charging stations available to additional users and have the charging process billed with kWh accuracy.
Therefore, it must be ensured that the delivered quantity always corresponds to the actual measured values.This is in the interest of consumers, as they can rely on charging stations that comply with calibration regulations and deliver electricity at the exact kWh.
But what does calibration conformity mean as a requirement for charging stations?
The latest amendment, which came into force on May 28, 2022, makes it mandatory for publicly accessible charging stations to indicate the energy price per unit of energy at the charging point and to comply with the requirements of German calibration law. This law must be taken into account from 01.01.2023 at all charging stations where an electricity charge is made.
