uin	133184
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/03/2022 answer text <p>The safety of electric vehicles and their charging is important to the Government and is kept under regular review. Before vehicles can be sold or registered in the UK the manufacturer must supply evidence that the vehicle complies with international approval requirements. For hybrid and electric vehicles electrical safety is included in this assessment. There is a wide pool of regulations and standards, as well as enforcement mechanisms, covering this. The Department for Transport regularly engages with the bodies, such as the Driver &amp; Vehicle Standards Agency, who enforce those regulations to ensure safety outcomes for the general public.</p><p>For chargepoints, the Government requires electric vehicle chargepoint installers to follow the latest British Standards and the Institute for Electrical Technicians’ latest code of practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation. As is the case for all vehicles, electric vehicle drivers should ensure that they understand and adhere to the guidance detailed in the instructions for the specific vehicle they purchase.</p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 08/03/2022 11:02:32 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison
