IEC 60050-904:2014/AMD1:2015

Amendment 1 - International Electrotechnical Vocabulary (IEV) - Part 904: Environmental standardization for electrical and electronic products and systems

Describes the procedure for determining the error introduced in the testing of a photovoltaic device caused by the interaction of the mismatch between the spectral responses of the test specimen and the reference device, and the mismatch between the test spectrum and the reference spectrum.

Amendement 1 - Vocabulaire Electrotechnique International (IEV) - Partie 904: Normalisation environnementale pour les produits et les systèmes électriques et électroniques

Décrit la procédure pour déterminer l'erreur de mesure introduite dans le test d'un dispositif photovoltaïque, due d'une part à la désadaptation des réponses spectrales du spécimen en essai et du dispositif de référence, et d'autre part à la désadaptation entre le spectre pour l'essai et le spectre de référence.

Mednarodni elektrotehniški slovar - 904. del: Okoljska standardizacija električnih in elektronskih proizvodov in sistemov - Dopolnilo A1

Opisuje postopek ugotavljanje napake pri preskušanju fotonapetostne naprave, ki jo povzroči vzajemni učinek neujemanja spektralne odzivnosti preskušanca in referenčne naprave ter neujemanja preskusnega in referenčnega spektra.

Overview

IEC 60050-904:2014/AMD1:2015 is an important amendment to the International Electrotechnical Vocabulary (IEV) Part 904, which focuses on environmental standardization for electrical and electronic products and systems. Published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), this document outlines precise terminology and definitions critical for harmonizing environmental standards in the electrical engineering sector.

The amendment specifically addresses the procedure for determining errors introduced during photovoltaic device testing caused by mismatches between spectral responses of test specimens and reference devices, and discrepancies between test and reference spectra. This ensures more accurate and reliable environmental assessments of electrical and electronic products, enhancing energy efficiency and environmental protection.

Key Topics

• Environmental Standardization
  Establishes vocabulary and procedures for evaluating environmental impacts related to electrical and electronic products and systems, facilitating consistent communication and compliance globally.

• Photovoltaic Device Testing
  Defines methods for identifying errors that arise due to spectral response mismatches during photovoltaic testing - a crucial factor in the energy sector's product evaluation.

• Emission Definition
  Clarifies "emission" as the direct or indirect release of substances, heat, light, sound, or electromagnetic fields from products or processes into the environment, supporting clear environmental impact analysis.

• Terminology Updates
  Incorporates approved terminology changes from IEC technical committee 1 related to environmental standardization, ensuring vocabulary accuracy in legal and technical documents.

Applications

• Photovoltaic Industry
  Facilitates improved testing accuracy for solar panels by standardizing methods to correct spectral mismatch errors, thereby enhancing product certification and performance assessments.

• Environmental Compliance
  Provides a standardized framework for manufacturers and testing laboratories to evaluate environmental emissions and impacts from electrical and electronic products, helping meet international environmental regulations.

• Energy Efficiency Projects
  Supports energy conservation initiatives by defining terms and procedures central to assessing and improving energy-related environmental performance in electrical engineering.

• Technical Documentation and Standards Development
  Acts as a reference vocabulary ensuring consistency in the terminology used across international standards, technical reports, and regulatory policies related to environmental aspects of electrical systems.

Related Standards

• IEC 60050 (International Electrotechnical Vocabulary)
  The broader IEC 60050 series defines electrical engineering terms across multiple disciplines, providing the foundational vocabulary for Part 904.

• IEC 61215 (Photovoltaic Modules - Design Qualification and Type Approval)
  References methodologies for testing solar panels, which can be complemented by the error determination procedures outlined in IEC 60050-904.

• ISO 14000 Series (Environmental Management)
  While IEC 60050-904 focuses on vocabulary and testing, ISO 14000 provides broader environmental management system standards applicable across industries, including electrical products.

• IEC 60335 (Safety of Electrical Appliances)
  Alongside environmental considerations, this standard addresses safety for household electrical appliances, often working in tandem with environmental standardization efforts covered in IEC 60050-904.
