module safety qualification part 2: requirements for testing1scope and objectthis part of en 61730 describes the testing requirements for photovoltaic (pv) modules in order to provide safe electrical and mechanical operation during their expected lifetime. specific topics are provided to assess the prevention of electrical shock, fire hazards, and personal injury due to mechanical and environmental stresses. en 61730-1 pertains to the particular requirements of construction. this part of en 61730 outlines the requirements of testing.this standard attempts to define the basic requirements for various application classes of photovoltaic modules, but it cannot be considered to encompass all national or regional building codes. the specific requirements for marine and vehicle applications are not covered. this standard is not applicable to modules with integrated ac inverters (ac modules).this standard is designed so that its test sequence can co-ordinate with those of iec 61215 or iec 61646, so that a single set of samples may be used to perform both the safety and performance evaluation of a photovoltaic module design.the test-sequences of this standard are arranged in an optimal way so that tests ofiec 61215 or iec 61646 can be used as basic preconditioning tests.note 1 the sequence of tests required in this standard may not test for all possible safety aspects associated with the use of pv modules in all possible applications. this standard utilizes the best sequence of tests available at the time of its writing. there are some issues, such as the potential danger of electric shock posed by a broken module in a high voltage system, that should be addressed by the systems design, location, restrictions on access and maintenance procedures.the object of this document is to provide the testing sequence intended to verify the safety of pv modules whose construction has been assessed by en 61730-1. the test sequence and pass criteria are designed to detect the potential breakdown of internal and external components of pv modules that would result in fire, electric shock and personal injury. the standard defines the basic safety test requirements and additional tests that are a function of the module end-use applications.test categories include general inspection, electrical shock hazard, fire hazard, mechanical stress, and environmental stress.note 2 the additional testing requirements outlined in relevant iso standards, or the national or local codes which govern the installation and use of these modules in their intended locations, should be considered in addition to the requirements contained within this document.2normative referencessee annex za.3application classes3.1 generalphotovoltaic modules may be installed in many different applications. therefore, it is important to evaluate the potential hazards associated with those applications and to evaluate the construction of the module accordingly.relevant safety requirements and necessary tests shall be performed to verify the conformance to the requirements of that application class. this clause defines those application classes and construction qualities required for each class.application classes for pv-modules are defined as follows:3.2 class a: general access, hazardous voltage, hazardous power applicationsmodules rated for use in this application class may be used in systems operating at greater than 120 v dc. modules qualified for safety through en 61730-1 and this part of en 61730 within this application class are considered to meet the requirements for safety class ii.3.3 class b: restricted access, hazardous voltage, hazardous power applicationsmodules rated for use in this application class are restricted to systems protected from public access by fences, location, etc. modules evaluated within this application class provide protection by basic insulation, are considered to meet the requirements for safety class 0.3.4 class c: limited voltagemodules rated for use in this application class are restricted to systems operating at less than120 v dc. modules qualified for safety through en 61730-1 and this part of en 61730 within this application class are considered to meet the requirements for safety class iii.note safety classes are defined within en 61140.4test categories4.1 generalthe following hazards might influence the lifetime and the safety of pv modules. in accordance with these hazards, test procedures and criteria are described. the specific tests to which a module will be subjected will depend on the end use application for which the minimum tests are specified in clause 5.note module safety tests are labelled mst.tables 1 to 6 show the origin of the required tests. for some tests, the third column shows for information the origin of the tests, but the appropriate test requirements are given in clauses10 and 11. the rest of the tests are based on or identical to iec 61215/iec 61646, and references to the relevant clauses are given in the last two columns. some of the iec 61215/iec 61646-based tests were modified for en 61730-2 and are included in clauses10 and 11.4.2 preconditioning
