Categories:: Information management | Standardization. General rules

Scope

The scope is identical to EN IEC 61730-2. This document (AMD11 Draft) describes optional mechanical tests (static mechanical load and module breakage test until failure) for BAPV and reporting. These tests are optional and not required for compliance with EN IEC 61730-2. Results of optionally performed tests shall be added to the test report section.

Purpose

National building code authorities in Europe typically re-evaluate PV modules used for BAPV applications for structural safety. In this evaluation, results for tests beyond base-level module safety tests were found to be useful and may help to support the approval process. The purpose of these tests is to evaluate the load-bearing capacity of modules. Evaluation Only. Created with Aspose.PDF. Copyright 2002-2023 Aspose Pty Ltd.
