Die Photovoltaik (PV)-Module der AVANCIS GmbH, wurden von der TÜV Rheinland Energy GmbH nach folgenden Normen geprüft:

IEC 61215-1:2016 / EN 61215-1: 2016:Terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) modules
- Design qualification and type approval - Part 1: Test requirements

IEC 61215-1-1:2016 / EN 61215-1-1:2016: Terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) modules
- Design qualification and type approval - Part 1-1: Special requirements
for testing of crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) modules

IEC 61215-2:2016 / EN 61215-2:2017: Terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) modules
- Design qualification and type approval - Part 2: Test procedures

IEC 61730-1:2016 / EN 61730-1:2018: Photovoltaic (PV) module safety qualification
- Part 1: Requirements for construction

IEC 61730-2:2016 / EN 61730-2:2018: Photovoltaic (PV) module safety qualification
- Part 2: Requirements for testing

The test procedure comprises two major aspects:

1) Sample testing:
The accredited laboratory of TÜV Rheinland runs product tests on selected test samples to verify that these samples fulfil the requirements of the relevant standards.

The testing includes among other features:

• Hail test
• UV-exposure test  
• Damp-heat test
• Mechanical load test  
• Hot-spot endurance test
• Cut susceptibility test   
• Humidity-freeze test
• Module breakage test

2) Periodic inspection:
TÜV Rheinland experts perform periodic quality and production control at the manufacturing site(s) to ensure that all produced PV modules are manufactured with the same materials, using the same processes and at the same quality level as the laboratory tested samples.
