Commissioning a hardwired wallbox like the EV-ACT3204E should end with a written record, not just a working charger. The installer performs the tests under your market’s rules; your part is to receive and file the record: unit identity, circuit identity, the test categories performed with their results, a demonstrated first charge, and a signed handover. This article lists what the record should contain — test procedures and pass values belong to the installer and local rules, not to a checklist on the internet.
Key Takeaways
- Commissioning ends with a signed record: unit identity, circuit identity, test categories and results, functional checks, sign-off.
- Test procedures and pass values belong to the installer and your market’s rules — no checklist substitutes for them.
- The functional checks matter: a first charge completed, a card tested, the app account handed to the owner.
- File the record with the property’s electrical documents; ask for it before the installer leaves, not after.
What the Record Should Contain
| Record item | What it identifies | Why you will want it later |
|---|---|---|
| Unit identity | Model, serial number from the nameplate, and the variant fitted — this wallbox is sold with a Type 2 cable or as a socket version | Warranty claims and manufacturer support start from the serial number, not from a photo of the box |
| Circuit identity | Which distribution board and which protective device position feeds the charger, and that the supply is three-phase | The next electrician who works on your board should not have to guess which circuit is the charger’s |
| Test categories performed | The electrical safety checks the installer carried out under local rules — recorded by category, with results and the installer’s name against them | An insurer, a buyer or a fault investigation asks what was verified at installation, and the record is the answer |
| Functional checks | A completed first charge, an RFID card tested at the charger, and the app account handed over to the owner | These prove the unit was working as a system — charger, card and app — on the day it was signed off |
| Sign-off | Installer or company identity, date, and signature, with a copy left with the owner | A record nobody signed is an opinion; a signed one is evidence |
The Tests Are the Installer’s; the Record Is Yours
Commissioning tests are done with instruments, to limits set by the wiring rules of the country of installation. Those limits are deliberately not listed here: they differ by market and change with the rules. What does not differ is the shape of a proper record — the categories above, performed and written down by the person qualified to do them. The IET Code of Practice is one example of the installation guidance installers work to; your market has its own.
The practical point: a blank line is a question to ask while the installer is still on site. Reconstructing a commissioning result a year later, mid-claim, is nobody’s idea of a good afternoon.
Questions to Ask Before the Installer Leaves
- May I have the commissioning record itself — the test record — and not only the invoice?
- Which protective device feeds the charger? Please show me, and is it labelled on the board?
- Was a card tested at the charger, and is the app account in my name rather than yours?
- Who do I call first if it stops working — you, or EVDANCE under the 3-year standard warranty?
- Is the record something my insurer or a future buyer of the property will receive a copy of?
The EV-ACT3204PE is a 22 kW three-phase wallbox — 32 A per phase at 380–400 V, tethered Type 2 cable, hardwired, RFID and app control, IP66 housing, CE mark. Because it is hardwired, its record sits with the property’s electrical documents, alongside the invoice and warranty terms; our wallbox installation guide covers the wider job.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the commissioning record the same as my installation paperwork?
One document inside that file — the most technical one. The wider file also holds the invoice, the receipt and the warranty terms. The record is the piece only the installer can produce; the rest you can gather yourself.
My installer left only an invoice. Is that enough?
An invoice proves the job was done and paid for; it does not record what was tested. Ask for the test record while the job is fresh — later it is slower, and sometimes impossible once the installer has closed the file.
What results should the record show for the tests?
The results the installer’s instruments produced, recorded against each category, the pass judged against your market’s rules. If a line is blank or a category missing, ask before sign-off — interpreting the numbers is the installer’s job; noticing a gap is yours.
