EN 60904-1:2006

Photovoltaic devices - Part 1: Measurement of photovoltaic current-voltage characteristics

Describes measurement procedures for current-voltage characteristics of crystalline silicon photovoltaic devices in natural or simulated sunlight. These procedures are applicable to a single solar cell, a sub-assembly of solar cells, or a flat module.

Photovoltaische Einrichtungen - Teil 1: Messen der photovoltaischen Strom-/Spannungskennlinien

Dispositifs photovoltaïques - Partie 1: Mesure des caractéristiques courant-tension des dispositifs photovoltaïques

Décrit les procédures de mesure des caractéristiques courant-tension des dispositifs photovoltaïques au silicium cristallin sous éclairement solaire naturel ou simulé. Ces procédures sont applicables aux cellules solaires individuelles, aux assemblages de cellules solaires et aux modules plans.

Fotonapetostne naprave – 1. del: Merjenje fotonapetostnih tokovno napetostnih karakteristik (IEC 60904-1:2006)

Ta del IEC 60904 predstavlja postopke za merjenje fotonapetostnih, tokovno napetostnih karakteristik fotonapetostnih naprav v naravni ali simulirani sončni svetlobi, ki se nanašajo na samostojno fotonapetostno solarno celico, sestavo fotonapetostnih solarnih celic, ali PV-modulov.

This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2006-10-01. CENELEC members are bound to comply
with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard
the status of a national standard without any alteration.

Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on
application to the Central Secretariat or to any CENELEC member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and notified
to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.

CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, the Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,

Foreword
The text of document 82/433/FDIS, future edition 2 of IEC 60904-1, prepared by IEC TC 82, Solar
photovoltaic energy systems, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and was approved by
CENELEC as EN 60904-1 on 2006-10-01.
This European Standard supersedes EN 60904-1:1993.
The main changes with respect to EN 60904-1:1993 are as follows:
– Added object.
– Added normative references.
– Updated original Clause 2 (General Measurement Requirements), removing Figure 1 as it is obsolete.
– Provided more detail and guidance on how to measure in sunlight or simulated sunlight.
– Expanded original Clause 6 (Test Report) with requirements based on ISO 17025.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2007-07-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2009-10-01
Annex ZA has been added by CENELEC.
__________
Endorsement notice
The text of the International Standard IEC 60904-1:2006 was approved by CENELEC as a European
Standard without any modification.
