As Colorado’s electric vehicle charging network grows, so does the need for people who understand how to install, maintain, test, and inspect charging equipment.
Colorado’s new Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) regulations took effect July 1, 2026, establishing new requirements for commercial EV charging equipment. Registered Service Agents (RSAs) play an important role in the inspection and compliance process.
For people working in or interested in EV charging, electrical work, inspection, maintenance, and compliance, RSA training can be an opportunity to build knowledge and better understand these changing requirements.
RSA training can cover topics such as Colorado’s EVSE regulations, inspection and compliance, testing and certification, measurement accuracy, consumer protection, and documentation. Training may be useful for electricians, EVSE installers and service providers, electrical contractors, utility and municipal employees, fleet maintenance professionals, and others interested in the EV charging industry.
The National Conference on Weights and Measures (NCWM) is the main agency responsible for RSA certification and exams. While there are no RSA trainings currently listed, NCWM occasionally offers training opportunities in addition to its exams.
For those looking to learn more, Red Rocks Community College’s Rocky Mountain Education Center currently offers a free, fully online, self-paced RSA course through October 31, 2026. It provides foundational training on Colorado’s EVSE regulatory framework and RSA responsibilities for commercial EV charging stations.
