Design qualification and type approval of PV modules acc. to IEC 61730 TÜV Rheinland Immissionsschutz und Energiesysteme GmbH Renewable Energies June 2006 2 / 5 Overview of IEC 617302004 The IEC 61730 consists of 2 parts - Part 1 Requirements for module design and materials - Part 2 Safety tests Part 1 of the IEC 61730 defines the mandatory design characteristics of the modules such as minimum distances of conductive parts from the module edges, wall thickness of the junction boxes, etc. as well as requirements on the materials used in the module UV- stability, temperature parameters, protection class, etc.. Certification involves checking these requirements on the basis of technical drawings and proof provided by the manufacturer. Supplementary tests may be performed in the absence of such proof. Part 2 of the IEC 61730 defines three different application classes for a module design, specifying the type of use, the related qualification tests and the resulting safety-class - Application class A General applications, system voltages 50 V DC safety-class II - Application class B Restricted access, system voltages 50 V DC safety-class 0 - Application class C Low-voltage applications 50V DC and 240 W protection class III Depending on the desired application class, safety-relevant tests are conducted according to the illustrated testing tree. Tests are performed both on complete solar modules with and without frames and on individual module components junction box, backside foil. A special feature of the IEC 61730 is that the test samples must be preconditioned by environmental tests of the IEC 61215/61646 type approval of PV modules prior to the actual safety tests. It is therefore a good idea to combine IEC 61215/61646 and IEC 61730 for the qualification, so that test samples that have already passed the environmental tests of the IEC 61215/61646 type certification can be used for the safety tests of the IEC 61730. 3 / 5 Certification and test mark To obtain a test certificate all relevant requirements on design and materials in accordance with the specifications of IEC 61730 – Part 1 as well as the respective pass criteria of the individual safety tests corresponding to IEC 61730 – Part 2 must be fulfilled. As with the type certification according to IEC 61215/61646, a test certificate always refers to the type of module on which the tests were performed. This version is supposed to represent the worst case in a PV module type family, generally defined by the following deviations possible - Largest module dimensions - Maximum output power - Minimum cell-, string- and edge-distances - Statically most critical module design and module mounting An issued certificate may also cover smaller, or less critical, modules of the type family with otherwise identical design i.e. the same components and materials. Following certification with a company inspection, the TUVdotCOM test mark pictured below is issued and provided to the module manufacturer for that manufacturer s own use. The assigned individual ID number also allows direct product-related access in the global TÜV internet portal www.tuv.com or www.tuvdotcom.com, where the certified PV module types, the corresponding test documentation and, if desired, also performance features and further product and manufacturer information are available.
