The Technical Regulator reserves the right to:

  • Seek further information regarding an application for registration, whether from the applicant or other sources
  • Request further evidence that a product meets the requirements
  • Commission independent testing (see Section 9) to verify that a product meets the requirements (this could include physical testing of the EVSE or EVSDE with an actual EV or EV analogue)
  • Remove a product from the register if the Technical Regulator forms the view that the information supplied with the application for registration was incorrect, or that the product no longer complies with the requirements, or the registrant voluntarily requests removal.
