Implementing Singapore Standards SS 722 for Safer and Smarter EV Charging Systems in New Housing Estates

78 Dr Choo Pei Ling asked the Acting Minister for Transport following the introduction of Singapore Standard SS 722 for electric vehicle (EV) charging systems, how will the Government translate these stronger safety, cybersecurity and smart-charging standards into faster and more reliable rollout of EV charging systems in new housing estates.

Mr Jeffrey Siow: The Singapore Standard SS 722 took effect on 1 April 2026 to support the continued expansion of Singapore's electric vehicle (EV) charging network. It sets out safety and cybersecurity requirements for charging technologies. Approval processes for charging technologies can therefore be streamlined, and the design and installation of EV chargers can be sped up. These requirements also improve the reliability of EV chargers and reduce maintenance downtime. A transition period of two and a half years is in place ahead of mandatory compliance for new chargers from 1 October 2028, including for new estates.
