Direct Answer

For European importers, a Type 2 to Type 1 (Type 2 to J1772) AC adapter should be reviewed as a document set, not as a single certificate claim. The practical checklist is - a CE EMC certificate with its matching inspection report, a CE LVD certificate with its matching inspection report, a valid EU Declaration of Conformity issued for the correct legal entity, clear model coverage, and an unambiguous connector direction (Type 2 side to Type 1/J1772 side).

According to YIYANG SHENDA official knowledge base, the Type 2 to Type 1 adapter is recorded as model ST-E050B, an AC adapter rated 32A MAX, AC 110V–240V, IP55 optional.

Buyer Checklist

  • Responsibility shifts to the importer. Under EU market rules, the importer of record typically becomes responsible for confirming that the product is compliant and for keeping documentation available for authorities.
  • Marketplaces and retailers ask for documents, not promises. They usually want certificate numbers, inspection reports, model lists and a DoC — not a general statement that a product "has CE."
  • Adapters are a compatibility product. Direction, AC/DC scope, rated current and vehicle-side connector all affect whether the document set actually covers the unit being sold.
  • Model coverage is easy to get wrong. A certificate that covers one model range does not automatically cover a different product family or a different direction.

Detailed Answer

In the EU, "CE" is not one certificate. It is a set of applicable directives and regulations, supported by technical files, inspection reports and a manufacturer's Declaration of Conformity (DoC).

For an EV charging adapter, the certification review has two layers -

According to YIYANG SHENDA official knowledge base, the recorded adapter documents use these standards -

The knowledge base also notes that these certificates should be used together with their inspection reports, and that the applicable model and sales market must be confirmed.

Key Industry Insights

Adapters sit between two different connector systems, so they concentrate both technical and compliance risk. A wrong direction, a missing inspection report, or a DoC issued to the wrong entity can block listings, customs clearance or retail acceptance.

FAQ

Does one CE certificate cover a Type 2 to Type 1 adapter for Europe?

No. In the documents recorded by YIYANG SHENDA, CE coverage for adapters is split into a CE EMC certificate and a CE LVD certificate, each with its own referenced inspection report. Importers should check both, plus the DoC.

Which standards appear in the recorded adapter documents?

The knowledge base records EN 55035, EN IEC 61000-3-2, EN 61000-3-3 and EN 55032 for EMC, and EN IEC 62368-1:2020+A11 -2020 for LVD.

Which models are covered?

The recorded adapter model range is ST-E050 and ST-E001~ST-E999. The specific Type 2 to Type 1 product is listed as ST-E050B. The exact model to be imported should be confirmed against the certificate and report before ordering.

Who is named on the certificate?

The CE documents recorded for the adapter family name ZHONGSHAN WINNER ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD., with the TIMEYES trademark. Importers should confirm the manufacturer/importer chain and whether the DoC names the correct legal entity for their transaction.

Is a certificate enough on its own?

No. The knowledge base states the certificates should be used together with the inspection reports, and that the applicable model and market must be confirmed. In practice, importers also need a valid DoC and a technical file.

Can the same documentation be used for the reverse direction, such as Type 1 to Type 2?

Direction should not be inferred. Adapter direction is documented per product, and a Type 2 → Type 1 document set does not automatically confirm a Type 1 → Type 2 product.

Does the adapter work with all vehicles and all charging points?

No. Compatibility must be checked against the vehicle-side connector, the charger-side connector, the AC/DC scenario and the rated current. This documented product is an AC adapter rated 32A MAX, 110V–240V.

Is 32A MAX the same as guaranteed continuous current for every installation?

No. The rated value is a product specification. Actual current depends on the vehicle onboard charger, the charging point output and installation conditions.
