Risk analysis for charging stations Prevent fires in your parking garage

Before installing charging stations in your parking garage, it is advisable to determine whether your company’s electrical installation can support a charging system. We are pleased to calculate the feasibility of charging stations for your specific situation. This allows you to understand the cost-benefit ratio, the most advantageous scenarios, and the estimated investment cost.

Additionally, a risk analysis for charging stations is mandatory when installing them in an enclosed parking garage. The risk analysis provides clarity on safety risks specifically related to charging stations and electric vehicles. This ensures you know which modifications are required to install the charging stations safely.

Installing charging stations? Risk analysis first!

From a practical standpoint, the charging infrastructure—which represents a significant modification to your electrical installation—must naturally comply with the AREI (the General Regulations on Electrical Installations). An inspection before the charging stations are commissioned is therefore essential.

However, that is not all. The use of such significant amounts of electrical current also involves certain risks. A fire in an electric vehicle lasts a long time and is dangerous. Naturally, you want to prevent this.

By identifying and assessing the potential risks of your charging station installations, you prevent hazards such as:

overheating
short circuits
electrical fires
electric shocks

You will then be assured of a safe and reliable charging infrastructure, contributing safely to the reduction of our fossil footprint.

Are charging stations mandatory?

For new industrial buildings, installing charging stations—or providing cable ducts for future installation—is mandatory for parking lots with more than 10 spaces.

Which charging stations are covered?

Our experts perform risk analyses for all types of charging installations for electric cars or electric two-wheelers (bicycles, speed pedelecs, scooters).

We map the risks of charging stations in public or corporate environments.

Risk analysis for electric vehicle charging stations What can you expect?

Our experts visit the site to determine whether there are potential hazards in or around the charging infrastructure. We analyze various factors, such as:

Location risks

Where are the charging stations located (or where will they be located)? Which environmental factors do the charging stations encounter? Which factors could affect the safety and performance of the charging stations? Consider, for example, the weather or surrounding traffic.

Potential overloading

An essential part of the risk analysis is calculating the required power capacity and ensuring a suitable power supply to prevent overloading.

Technical evaluation

We compare the technical specifications of the charging stations with the compatibility of the electric vehicles. Are they aligned? Do they comply with the required standards and guidelines?

Safety measures

Are the necessary protection mechanisms in place, such as residual current devices and overheating protection?

Regulations and standards

Naturally, the risk analysis is fully aligned with the applicable safety standards and regulations.
