Marking and documentation requirements for Photovoltaic Modules

This European Standard describes marking, including nameplate and documentation requirements for non-concentrating photovoltaic modules. This European Standard provides mandatory information that needs to be included in the product documentation or affixed to the product to ensure safe and proper use. Best practices are included in this document giving guidance on additional information, for example module’s performance at different irradiance levels. Markings, including nameplates, are permanently affixed information on the PV modules, which indelibly states the rating and other information as required by the relevant standard for safe use and maintenance. While, documentation information is a technical description separate from the photovoltaic module. This European Standard is based on IEC and EN standards defining marking, nameplate and documentation requirements for PV modules.

Exigences de marquage et de documentation des modules photovoltaïques

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences de marquage, y compris celles relatives à la plaque signalétique et à la documentation, applicables aux modules non-concentrateurs photovoltaïques. La présente Norme européenne fournit des informations obligatoires qu'il est nécessaire d'intégrer à la documentation du produit ou d'apposer sur le produit, afin d'en assurer une utilisation sûre et appropriée. Le présent document comporte un guide des meilleures pratiques qui donne des préconisations relatives aux informations supplémentaires, par exemple, les performances d'un module à différents niveaux d'éclairement énergétique. Les marquages, y compris les plaques signalétiques, sont des informations apposées de façon permanente et durable sur les modules photovoltaïques, qui indiquent les caractéristiques assignées et d'autres informations, selon les exigences de la norme applicable, pour une utilisation et une maintenance en toute sécurité. De fait, les informations contenues dans la documentation correspondent à une description technique distincte du module photovoltaïque. La présente Norme européenne est fondée sur des normes IEC et EN qui définissent des exigences concernant le marquage, la plaque signalétique et la documentation pour les modules photovoltaïques.

Zahteve za označevanje in dokumentacijo fotonapetostnih modulov

Ta osnutek evropskega standarda opisuje zahteve za označevanje (vključno z napisno ploščico) in dokumentacijo za koncentrirane fotonapetostne module.
V tem dokumentu je opisano, kateri podatki morajo biti vključeni v dokumentaciji proizvoda, da se zagotovi njegova varna in pravilna uporaba. Ta dokument tako navaja obvezne podatke in zahteve. Ta dokument vključuje vodnik o najboljših praksah, ki podaja smernice glede dodatnih podatkov, na primer o zmogljivosti modula na različnih ravneh sevanja.
V tem kontekstu so oznake, vključno z napisno ploščico, trajno pritrjene na električni napravi (v tem primeru na fotonapetostnem modulu) in na vidnem mestu navajajo nazivne ter druge podatke, kot to zahteva ustrezen standard za varno uporabo in vzdrževanje, informacije v dokumentaciji pa so tehnični opis, ločen od fotonapetostnega modula.
Kontekst tega standarda temelji na različnih standardih IEC in EN, ki opredeljujejo dele zahtev glede oznak, napisnih tablic in dokumentacije fotonapetostnih modulov.
