The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) published a product safety report on 6 May 2026 covering the Easee One EV Charger Backplate BP-AP-1/s01-011. The report covers a small quantity of backplates fitted with incorrect labelling, placed on the UK market during a limited period between late September 2025 and 3 February 20261. The risk level is given as low and the measure type as a modification programme1.
The backplate is a wall-mounted wiring base for the Easee One EV charger, providing the electrical termination interface where supply cables are connected1. The affected units carry an incorrect three-phase terminal label: the terminal that should be marked "PME" (Protective Multiple Earthing) is labelled "L3"1. According to the report, this could mislead an electrician into connecting the PME conductor to the standard PE terminal instead of the dedicated PME terminal, potentially bypassing the charger's built-in PEN fault detection and automatic disconnection function required for UK PME installations1. The product's country of origin is given as Norway1.
"Easee have identified affected products using serial number traceability and installer records. Where a mislabelled unit is confirmed to be incorrectly wired and without external PEN protection, charging is temporarily paused until remediation is completed."
Corrective actions, where required, include inspection, replacement of the backplate and verification by a qualified electrician1. The notification number is 2604-00191.

Why it matters for households
The backplate is the part of an Easee One installation where the household supply is terminated, so a labelling error at that point concerns the earthing arrangement rather than the charging electronics. The report states that the mislabelling could lead to the PME conductor being connected to the standard PE terminal, potentially bypassing the charger's PEN fault detection and automatic disconnection function required for UK PME installations1. That function is part of how the charger responds to a lost supply neutral on a PME network.
The report describes the affected population as a small quantity of units sold in a defined window, and Easee has traced them through serial numbers and installer records1. For a household, the practical question is whether the installed backplate is one of those units and how it was wired, which the report says is established through inspection and verification by a qualified electrician1. Where a unit is confirmed as incorrectly wired and without external PEN protection, charging is paused until remediation is completed1. The report does not state how many units are affected in the UK, and no figure has been reported1. General background on this charger and on charge point standards sits in the site's pages on Easee home EV chargers and EV charge point safety, standards and certification, with the wider context of the earlier regulatory action covered in the Easee charger safety ruling. Other notices of this kind are collected under home energy product recalls and safety notices.
What happens next
The report sets out a modification programme as the corrective action, with inspection, backplate replacement and verification by a qualified electrician where required1. No completion date, unit count or further timetable is given in the report, and none has been reported1.
