In late 2024, OCPP 2.0.1 Edition 3 was accepted by the [[International Electrotechnical Commission|International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)]]

as IEC standard 68354. <ref>https://webstore.iec.ch/en/publication/95734/</ref> OCPP is developed and maintained by the Open Charge Alliance (OCA), a non-profit foundation under Dutch law, headquartered in Arnhem, [[the Netherlands]].<ref> https://openchargealliance.org/about-us/</ref> It is an open source standard and can be downloaded for free. To contribute to OCPP’sOCPP's development, one must become a member of the Open Charge Alliance.<ref>https://openchargealliance.org/join-us/</ref>

==History==

Line 35:

In South Korea, OCPP is widely used for charging station management. Its popularity is driven by the requirement for OCPP certification in order to receive public funding.<ref>https://www.ktc.re.kr/web_eunited/board/view_season_02.asp?pagen=2364&paging=5&sno=2853</ref>

===Europe===

OCPP originated in Europe, and much of the protocol’sprotocol's development community is based there. Several cities and regions mandate OCPP use for communication between recharging points and charge point operators (CPOs). <ref>https://transport.ec.europa.eu/transport-themes/clean-transport/sustainable-transport-forum-stf/reports/2020-recommendations-recharging-point-tenders_en/</ref> In 2020, the European Commission's Sustainable Transport Forum issued recommendations promoting OCPP compliance in tenders and funding programs.<ref>https://transport.ec.europa.eu/transport-themes/clean-transport/sustainable-transport-forum-stf/reports/2020-recommendations-recharging-point-tenders_en/</ref> In the UK, since July 2019, new charging stations must meet smart charging requirements to qualify for funding under the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme. While OCPP is not explicitly mandated, compliance with OCPP 1.6 or equivalent is necessary to meet these smart criteria.<ref>https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-funded-electric-car-chargepoints-to-be-smart-by-july-2019</ref>
