Installing Autel in France: NF C 15-100, IRVE and OCPP
IRVE certification, NF C 15-100, and connecting to your own OCPP platform.
STANDARDS AND INSPECTION
- NF C 15-100, including the provisions for charge points (dedicated circuit)
- IRVE certification of the installer, mandatory above 3.7 kW and for any grant
- IRVE qualification level by power: up to 22 kW, and a higher level for DC
- IEC 61851 for the charging mode, type A RCD with DC detection or type B
- Compliant metering and accessibility per local rules on public points
Who may install
Only an IRVE certified installer. Without that qualification the grant is lost and the installation is not compliant above 3.7 kW.
Common mistakes
A charge point on a shared circuit instead of a dedicated one, and an IRVE level that does not match the installed power.
Watch out on DC
DC requires the higher IRVE level and usually an application with Enedis. Start that file before promising an installation date.
CONNECTION STEPS
- 01
Qualification and grid application
Check that your IRVE level matches the power and file the application with the network operator if the connection must be reinforced.
- 02
Dedicated circuit and protection
Provide a dedicated circuit per charge point, with its own breaker and RCD, sized on continuous current, length and voltage drop.
- 03
Mounting
Wall or pedestal for AC, concrete base for DC. Respect the clearances and cable bend radius from the model datasheet.
- 04
Send us your OCPP url
Share the OCPP url of your own platform with the identifier per charge point. We configure the unit before delivery.
- 05
Tests and file
Run a full session, document the measurements and add the IRVE certificates and datasheets to the file. We follow up through the proxy url.
This is a practical summary for partners, not legal advice. The local inspection body remains decisive.
