This document is applicable to organizations manufacturing photovoltaic (PV) modules certified to IEC 61215 series and IEC 62108 for design qualification and type approval and IEC 61730 for safety qualification and type approval. The design qualification and type approval of PV modules depend on appropriate methods for product and process design, as well as appropriate control of materials and processes used to manufacture the product. This document lays out best practices for product design, manufacturing processes, and selection and control of materials used in the manufacture of PV modules that have met the requirements of IEC 61215 series, IEC 61730, or IEC 62108. These standards also form the basis for factory audit criteria of such sites by various certifying and auditory bodies.Cross References:ISO 9001:2015ISO/IEC GUIDE 98-3:2008 Ed 1IEC 60904-3IEC 60904-2IEC 60904-9IEC 60812IEC 60904-1IEC 61730-1IEC 62759-1IEC 61730-2IEC TS 62915IEC 60904-4IEC 60891IEC 61215 (all parts)IEC TS 61836IEC 62108IEC 60904-7IEC 61853-1ANSI/ESD 20.20:2014IEC 60904-1IEC 60904-9IEC/TS 61836IEC 60904-7IEC/TS 62915EN IEC 60812JIS Q 8901EN IEC 60904-7IEC 61730-2EN IEC 60904-3IEC 60904-3IEC 60904-4IEC 61853-1ANSI/ASQ Z1.9:2008EN 62759-1EN 62108IEC 60891EN IEC 60904-4EN 60891IEC 61730-1EN 60904-1JCGM 200:2007EN 60904-2IEC 61215IEC 62108IEC 60812IEC 60904-2EN IEC 61730-1ISO 9001EN 60904-9EN IEC 61730-2IEC 62759-1ANSI/ASQ Z1.4:2008 (R18)ISO/IEC GUIDE 98-3:2008 Ed 1EN ISO 9001:2015ISO 19011:2011All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
