Morphology
The meaning 'an official written record of charges' is directly and compositionally derived from 'charge' (a formal accusation) + 'sheet' (a piece of paper), i.e. a paper listing charges. This straightforward noun+noun construction follows regular English compounding patterns and is likely understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Charge sheet comes from police and courts where a charge meaning 'an accusation' was written on a single sheet of paper. That clear picture of a paper listing a person's offences explains why charge sheet means 'an official list of charges' today.
