For architects and planners
Planning documents for a charging point
Station specifications, supply and placement requirements and sample text for tender documents. Drawings and the data sheet are available on request.
The directive (EU) 2024/1275 requires bike parking for at least 15% of average or 10% of total user capacity of non-residential buildings and 2 spaces per dwelling in residential buildings; for new buildings and major renovations it also wants ducting for later e-bike charging. National rules set the details. Plan a protected supply and a place for the station together with the bike spaces. EPBD requirements, calculator and checklist →

Placement
What to plan so the place passes inspection and satisfies the insurer
Electrical
- A separate circuit with its own protection
- A 30 mA residual current device (RCD)
- A central shut-off for the charging point
- By analogy with IEC/HD 60364-7-722 (charging point as a separate circuit)
Space
- Number of bike spaces under the applicable rules (EPBD: 15% of average / 10% of total capacity)
- Away from escape routes and sleeping areas
- A non-combustible surface and distance from combustibles
- Smoke or heat detection and a suitable extinguishing agent
- Outdoors at least IP54, ideally under a shelter
IEC/HD 60364-4-41, IEC/HD 60364-7-722, EN 15194, EN 50604-1, national fire safety standards; in Germany also VdS 3103.
