Photovoltaic (PV) modules - Transportation testing - Part 1: Transportation and shipping of module package units
Photovoltaic (PV) modules are electrical devices intended for continuous outdoor exposure during their lifetime. Existing type approval standards do not consider mechanical stresses that may occur during transportation to the PV installation destination. This part of IEC 62759 describes methods for the simulation of transportation of complete package units of modules and combined subsequent environmental impacts. This standard is designed so that its test sequence can co-ordinate with those of IEC 61215 so that a single set of samples may be used to perform both the transportation simulation and performance evaluation of a photovoltaic module design.This standard applies to flat plate photovoltaic modules.

IEC 62759-1:2022 décrit les méthodes de simulation de transport de l’ensemble des unités d’emballage des modules et des impacts environnementaux résultants combinés. Le présent document s’applique aux modules photovoltaïques à plaque plane. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2015. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’édition précédente: a. annulation des essais et des références relatifs aux normes applicables aux modules photovoltaïques à concentration (CPV); b. suppression des différentes classes de modules PV; c. suppression du minimum exigé de 10 modules par colis d’expédition; d. mise en place de la stabilisation comme mesurage intermédiaire; e. ajout des critères d’acceptation/de rejet; f. modification des exigences pour les contre-essais; g. modification du nombre de cycles dans l’essai de charge mécanique dynamique.
Fotonapetostni (PV) moduli - Preskušanje prevoza - 1. del: Prevoz in dobava pakiranih enot fotonapetostnih modulov
Fotonapetostni (PV) moduli so električne naprave, ki so skozi svojo življenjsko dobo stalno izpostavljene zunanjim pogojem. Obstoječi standardi za homologacijo ne obravnavajo mehanskih obremenitev, do katerih lahko pride med prevozom fotonapetostnih modulov na mesto namestitve.
Ta del standarda IEC 62759 opisuje metode za simulacijo prevoza celotnih pakiranih enot modulov in kombiniranih posledičnih okoljskih vplivov.
Ta standard je oblikovan tako, da je mogoče preskusno zaporedje uskladiti z zaporedji iz standarda IEC 61215, zato se lahko za simulacijo prevoza in vrednotenje učinkovitosti projektiranja fotonapetostnih modulov uporabi ena sama skupina vzorcev. Ta standard se uporablja za ploščate fotonapetostne module.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
