In addition to referencing international electro-technical photovoltaic standards such as IEC 61215, IEC 61646 and IEC 61730, typical standards from the building sector are also included, such as: EN 13501 (Safety in case of fire); EN 13022 (Safety and accessibility in use); EN 12758 (Protec-tion against noise).
There are currently 169 published IEC standards by TC-82 related to photovoltaic technology, and work is in progress for 69 more (new ones or revisions). This set of standards is the most broadly used by the scientific community and technicians in research centres and companies.
At least three regulatory levels for the production, installation, operation and end of life of photovoltaic systems can be considered. Additionally, the Life Cycle Assessment methodology is also regulated by standards. In this chapter, the three levels are presented.
An effort was initiated by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology since 2013, and reinforced in the more recent 14th Five Year Plan, with the aim to set standard conditions for the photovoltaic industry and promote a “healthy development” of the industry [12, 13].
The IEA Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (PVPS) is one of the technological collaboration programmes (TCP’s) on research and development within the International Energy Agency (IEA).
They also published one standard related to specification for glass to be used in building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) applications (ISO/TS 18178:2018 and an extension with focus on module recycling for BIPV which is under development ISO/TS 21480).
