Inspections of Unmanned Objects

Safely Connecting Objects in Public Spaces

It is crucial that electrical equipment in public spaces is safe. Therefore, grid operators impose certain conditions on devices and installations connected to the public electricity grid. These conditions apply to objects with an above-ground small consumption connection, such as parking meters, public lighting, and charging stations. This is referred to as grid operator inspections.

Before unmanned objects in the public domain receive a grid connection, they undergo inspections. This ensures the certainty that objects in public spaces meet safety standards and function optimally. Below, you will find a list of objects that have already been approved. If you have an object that needs to be inspected, please fill out the form at the bottom of the page.

Connection Requirements for Grid Operator Inspections

For each object group, a document with specifications and requirements has been prepared, which can be found further down. These documents form the basis on which the team of grid operator inspections approves the grid operator’s part of new models of objects for admission to the electricity grid. This process is coordinated by Netbeheer Nederland, and the inspection is carried out by experts from collaborating grid operators at the ElaadNL Foundation in Arnhem. The requirements are formulated in such a way that a safe and reliable connection to the public electricity grid is ensured.

Standardization of Technology

The development of these specifications is an important step towards further standardization of technology in objects. The documents are primarily intended for producers of these objects. The advantage for object producers and parties introducing objects to the market is that the grid operator’s part of an object only needs to be inspected once and can then be used throughout the Netherlands in all service areas of the various grid operators.

For concession grantors, it is important to ensure the application of these requirements in their Program of Requirements. Therefore, the grid operators have written a standard text to be directly included in it. This can be found below as a download.

Charging Station Inspections

For grid operator inspections of charging stations, we have a dedicated page on our website. Here, you will find all information regarding connection specifications, the inspection process, and a list of all approved charging objects.

Charging station inspections

Objects without a grid operator meter, including public lighting

For connecting lampposts and other unmetered objects with a 1x6A or 1x10A connection, a connection module for public lighting (OVL) is available. This module must be used when connecting lampposts to the (main) grid of the grid operators and for unmetered objects. The dimensions necessary for placing the connection module are indicated in the specifications above.

Objects with a grid operator meter, including distribution boxes

An important requirement for this object group is the installation of a smart meter in the objects. This smart meter enables remote reading and exchanging of meter data. To support this connectivity, we request a connectivity test to be performed in the current Connection Specifications, specifying a maximum attenuation for the enclosure. The Connection Specifications are also suitable for heavier connections, up to 3x80A. This forms the basis for faster charging, aligning with the trend of new electric vehicles entering the market. The publications are applicable not only to charging stations but also to other charging objects such as charging lanterns.

Charging objects have been inspected based on the Connection Specifications since 2018. From July 1, 2023, all newly installed charging objects must comply at least with the updated Connection Specifications, version 3.0.
