IEC 61716 Photovoltaic (PV) modules – Ammonia corrosion testing

Describes test sequences to determine the durability of different solar modules regarding corrosion from salt mist containing Chlorine (NaCl, MgCl2, etc.).

One of the most important solar cell testing procedures is IEC certification. Modules that achieve these certifications comply with quality and safety regulations when installed in an equivalent environment. All of these standards’ tests provide a mean of assessing possible errors in PV modules when operating in a humid atmosphere with a dissolved ammonia (NH3).

IEC 61701 Photovoltaic (PV) modules – Salt mist corrosion testing

Describes test sequences to determine PV module’s resistance with Ammonia (NH3).

One of the most important solar cell testing procedures is IEC certification. Modules that achieve these certifications comply with quality and safety regulations when installed in an equivalent environment. All of these standards’ tests provide a mean of assessing possible errors in PV modules when operating in a humid atmosphere with a high level of salt mist concentration.

IEC 61730 – Photovoltaic (PV) Module Safety Qualification

IEC 61730 specifies and describes the basic structural and test requirements that module must meet to provide electrical and mechanical safety when operates. The purpose of this standard is to identify requirements related to safety. These requirements intend to minimize misuse or limit malfunction of the solar module which may result in fire, electric shock and personal injury during operation.

One of the most important solar cell testing procedures is IEC certification. It indicates solar modules comply with safety, quality and durability requirements. IEC certifications provide the basis for modules to be sold in the market.

UL 1703 Standard for Flat-Plate Photovoltaic Modules and Panels

This standard covers requirements for the module’s components to provide electrical connection, equipment assembly and inspection procedures to ensure electrical safety, the risk of fire, explosion due to mechanical pressure and environment.

All UL 1703-certified modules adhere to quality and safety rules. UL 1703 is considered a passport “for IREX panels to penetrate the US and Canada markets.

Note: UL 1703 includes modules and photovoltaic panels that comply with National Electrical Code (NEC), OSHA, National Fire Protection Association and will be accepted by local inspectors in the United States.

BIS: Crystalline Silicon Terrestrial Photovoltaic (PV) Modules

An Indian Standard based on IEC 61215: 2005 and IEC 61730: 2004 to evaluate the quality and safety of the modules.

All BIS-certified modules adhere to quality and safety regulation and are applicable to the Indian market. For IREX’s PV modules, BIS certification is not only a license for product to be exported and sold to the Indian market, in accordance with the Indian national safety standards installed in the grid; but also an important development for IREX’s business opportunity in a country with 1.37 billion people. This confirms the quality of Made in Vietnam PV modules is completely not inferior to those that come from other strong brands around the world.

ISO 9001:2015

ISO 9001 defines the requirements for Quality Management System of an organization to Design, Manufacture and Deliver products and services to meet customer as well as applicable statutory & regulatory requirements. The standard also specifies framework to assess the customer perception and the continual improvements.

ISO 9001 certification results into good management practices. The certification aims at providing a global standard that spells out quality and trust. To meet the requirements for the ISO 9001 certification, an organisation should demonstrate its ability to consistently provide products that meet applicable statutory & regulatory requirements and continue to meet changing expectations of customers.

ISO 9001 is internationally well accepted. It is recognized in more than 160 countries and is the obvious choice for any organisation involved in international business or committed to quality. This certification is a proving point of management and manufacturing quality; thus all of IREX’s solar panels will always satisfy clients and users.

ISO 14001:2015

ISO 14001: 2015 Standard provides a rigorous framework to ensure businesses comply with their commitment on environmental protection:

✔ Reduce harmful effects on the environment
✔ Provide evidence of continuous improvement in environmental management

The ISO 14001 International Environmental Management System Standard provides a systematic approach to assist businesses in identifying, controlling and preventing potential dangerous incidents while also minimizing the risk of liability for legal side. This standard provides clear regulation of responsibility and operating chains for an environmental management system, creating a balance between business’s economic and environment benefits. The application of this international standard has shown IREX as well as SolarBK’s great focus on the path of “greening” the world. In additions to the activities of spreading clean energy around the globe, environment protection from inner businesses’ production and operation activities are prioritzed by IREX.
