Introduction

Eichrecht (MessEV/MessEG) is the German framework for calibrated and tamper-proof energy measurement.

Eichrecht certified chargers contain an energy meter that precisely records the delivered energy (kWh) and makes this information available to the user. All measurement data is digitally signed and encrypted before being sent to external systems. This prevents tampering and ensures that consumption data remains accurate for fair and compliant billing. In accordance with Eichrecht requirements, at least one method for independent verification of session data must be available to the user. This can be provided through a transparency software solution (e.g. S.A.F.E.) that enables access to the original signed measurement data.

Important notice

In rare cases, measurement data for a charging session may not be verifiable by third-party transparency software if a power interruption occurs during charging and the vehicle is disconnected before the power supply is restored. In such cases, the measured session energy remains valid, but the transparency verification process may be affected.
