RAMS, CPP & Site Documents for EV Charger Installers
EV charger installations combine electrical work, external construction, and sometimes groundwork for cable routes. Your RAMS need to cover electrical isolation, excavation, and working in car parks with live traffic.
No card needed · Used by UK ev charger installers · CDM 2015 compliant
Built for EV Charger Installers
Real work, real hazards. Here are examples of what The Site Book creates RAMS for:
Domestic EV charger installation
Wall-mounted chargepoint on a domestic property — covers consumer unit upgrade, cable routing, external mounting, and electrical testing.
Commercial car park charger installation
Multiple chargepoints in a commercial car park — covers working in live traffic areas, groundwork for cable ducts, electrical distribution, and bollard protection.
Rapid charger installation
DC rapid charger installation requiring dedicated HV supply — covers high-voltage electrical work, concrete pad foundation, and commissioning of communication systems.
Fleet depot charging infrastructure
Multi-point charging for fleet vehicles — covers electrical load management, cable trenching across vehicle routes, and integration with building management systems.

Common Hazards We Cover
These are the real risks ev charger installers face on site every day. Your RAMS will address each one with specific control measures.
- Electrical shock — charger installations involve working on consumer units, running new circuits, and connecting to three-phase or high-voltage supplies
- Working in live traffic areas — commercial and car park installations expose workers to moving vehicles during groundwork and mounting
- Excavation and cable trenching — underground cable routes require trenching that may encounter buried services (gas, water, telecoms)
- Manual handling — charger units, cable drums, and distribution boards are heavy and awkward to position
- Working at height — cable routing may require ladder or platform access for overhead trunking or building-mounted equipment
- Concrete cutting and core drilling — mounting chargers and running cables through walls generates silica dust and vibration
Key Regulations & Standards
BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations) and IET Code of Practice for EV Charging Equipment Installation
EV charger installations must comply with BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations), the IET Code of Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation, and Building Regulations Part P for notifiable electrical work. Installers should be registered with a competent person scheme (e.g., NAPIT, NICEIC) and hold appropriate EV-specific qualifications. OZEV-funded installations require TrustMark and MCS or equivalent certification. CDM 2015 applies to all installation work, particularly commercial projects involving groundwork.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do EV charger installers need RAMS?
- Yes. EV charger installation involves electrical work, and often excavation, working in traffic areas, and concrete cutting — all significant risk activities under CDM 2015. For commercial projects, the client or principal contractor will require your RAMS before you start work. Even domestic installations benefit from RAMS that cover electrical isolation, cable routing, and external mounting.
- How long does it take to create RAMS for EV charger installation?
- Under 5 minutes with The Site Book. Describe the job — for example, '7kW wall-mounted charger installation with new dedicated circuit from consumer unit' — and the AI generates RAMS covering electrical isolation, cable routing, external mounting, and testing, specific to your project.
- Does The Site Book cover the IET EV Code of Practice?
- Yes. The Site Book generates RAMS that reference BS 7671, the IET Code of Practice for EV Charging Equipment Installation, and Building Regulations Part P. It covers maximum demand calculations, protective device selection, earthing arrangements for outdoor installations, and the specific requirements for OZEV-funded installations.
