Standards Development

Scope

This BSI Flex provides recommendations on the design of publicly accessible charging sites for battery electric heavy goods vehicles (HGVs).

This BSI Flex covers:

•           harmonized vocabulary and units of measurement;

•           taxonomy of charging site layouts, including:

•           public access;

•           approach to segregation between vehicle types (HGVs, coaches, cars, vans);

•           interaction between vehicles and pedestrians;

•           safety and design implications of vehicles with power take-offs; and

•           considerations on the coexistence of various fuel types in the same site.

This BSI Flex is applicable to publicly accessible single and multi-fuel sites in the UK.

This BSI Flex is of use to the designers and operators of charging sites.

This BSI Flex might be of interest to logistics providers, electrical grid suppliers, consumer groups and any other parties concerned with charging sites or battery electric HGVs.

This BSI Flex does not cover:

•           charging technologies;

•           types of charging plugs/sockets;

•           driver/user behaviours;

•           construction safety issues;

•           prior stages such as selection of suitable locations, land acquisition, grid connections or securing of planning consents; or

•           dangerous goods vehicles.
