In June 2025, EN Plus reached an important milestone: its full range of charging products officially passed the stringent EN 18031-1 EU cybersecurity certification, becoming one of the first companies in the charging pile industry to comply with this mandatory standard. This certification signifies that EN Plus charging pile products are equipped with the most effective protection against data leakage and cyber-attacks, further consolidating its leadership in the improvement of cyber-security standards for new energy charging solutions and laying the groundwork for the upgrade of the EU market access threshold on 1st August 2025 to a leading edge.

EN 18031: “Safety passport” for the EU market

With the widespread adoption of IoT devices and global concerns about cybersecurity and privacy protection, the European Union published Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 to supplement the requirements of subparagraphs 3.3 d, e and f of the Radio Equipment Directive (Directive 2014/53/EU) and to include the EN 18031 family of standards as harmonised standards under the Directive. The requirements are mandatory from 1 August 2025 onwards. By then, wireless devices must ensure that they do not impair the network and its functionality, do not misuse network resources, take effective measures to protect users’ personal data and privacy, and are equipped with appropriate features to prevent fraud. Therefore, wireless products exported to the EU market must meet the above requirements and provide complete technical documentation as the basis for compliance in order to enter the EU market smoothly.

The ‘safety gene’ is integrated into the whole life cycle of the product.

Bureau Veritas, the world’s leading certification body, conducted a comprehensive security assessment and testing of EN Plus charging products, covering a wide range of security dimensions. EN+ Technology’s devices excelled in all aspects, including Access Control Mechanism (ACM), Authentication Mechanism (AUM), Secure Update Mechanism (SUM), Secure Storage Mechanism (SSM) and Secure Communication Mechanism (SCM). These results highlight the EN Plus charger’s excellence in protecting cyber security and data privacy.

The success of this certification is due to EN Plus’ consistent “Secure by Design” product philosophy, where products are developed under the Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) and adhere to stringent cybersecurity standards during the design, development and integration phases. The product incorporates advanced security technologies such as role-based access control, digital certificates, digital signatures, encrypted data storage and TLS secure transmission protocols to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data during storage, retrieval and transmission, and builds a comprehensive network attack defence system to ensure the safe and stable operation of the charging system.

Breaking through EU compliance barriers and seizing the lead in European charging strategy​​​

EN Plus takes this opportunity to comply with EN 18031 ahead of schedule, injecting safety acceleration into the global charging pile competition:

• Cost optimisation:

Reduce duplicate testing and R&D costs by integrating existing certifications such as ETSI EN 303 645;

• Certification Efficiency:

Shorten the certification cycle for complex equipment cycles and accelerate the delivery of EU customer orders;

• Barriers to Trust:

Compliance becomes the preferred threshold for European operators and retail channels to purchase, another breakthrough for EU market orders. Barriers to Trust: Compliance becomes the preferred threshold for European operators and retail channel procurement, another breakthrough for EU market orders;

The CEO of EN+ Technologies emphasised: “Compliance is not the end of the road, but the beginning of trust. We are expanding the EN 18031 series of security standards to our entire product line, and as cybersecurity evolves, we will continue to invest R&D resources in proactive protection technologies (e.g., AI threat prediction) to provide our global partners with charging solutions that offer ‘zero compliance risk’.”
