TL;DR
Charger commissioning is the activation and verification process that turns an installed EV charging station into a working, safe, and warrantied one: configuring its amperage setting to match the circuit, connecting it to Wi-Fi and the manufacturer's platform, registering the warranty, and test-charging a vehicle while verifying voltage, current draw, and GFCI protection. The amperage step carries the safety weight, since a unit set above its breaker and wire rating, adjustable in software on most modern chargers, will trip or overheat the circuit.
