DR AS/NZS 61730.1:2024 Photovoltaic (PV) module safety qualification, Part 1: Requirements for construction

The objective of this document is to specify and describe the fundamental construction requirements for photovoltaic (PV) modules in order to provide safe electrical and mechanical operation. Specific topics are provided to assess the prevention of electrical shock, fire hazards, and personal injury due to mechanical and environmental stresses. This document pertains to the particular requirements of construction. AS/NZS 61730.2 defines the requirements for testing. Modules with modified construction are qualified as described in IEC TS 62915.

This document lays down requirements for terrestrial PV modules suitable for long-term operation in open-air climates with 98th percentile module operating temperatures of 70 °C or less. Guidelines for modules to be used at higher operating temperatures are described in IEC TS 63126. The useful service life of modules so qualified will depend on their design, their environment, and the conditions under which they are operated. Therefore, test results are not construed as a quantitative prediction of module lifetime.

This document is intended to apply to all terrestrial flat plate module materials, such as crystalline silicon module types as well as thin-film modules. PV modules covered by this document are limited to a maximum DC system voltage of 1 500 V.

This document is designed to coordinate with the test sequences in the AS/NZS 61215 series, so that a single set of samples can be used to perform both the safety and design qualification of a PV module.

Any change to materials, design, or internal spacing are subject to a re-evaluation of the PV module or its component(s), as applicable, according to the AS/NZS 61730 series and IEC TS 62915.

DR AS/NZS 61730.2:2024 Photovoltaic (PV) module safety qualification, Part 2: Requirements for testing

The objective of this document is to provide the testing sequence intended to verify the safety of PV modules whose construction has been assessed by AS/NZS 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/or personal injury. This document defines the basic safety test requirements and additional tests that are a function of the PV module end-use applications. Test categories include general inspection, electrical shock hazard, fire hazard, mechanical stress, and environmental stress.

This document is identical with national modifications, and has been reproduced from, IEC 61730‑2:2023, Photovoltaic (PV) module safety qualification — Part 2: Requirements for testing.

DR AS/NZS ISO 12609.1:2024 Eye and face protection against intense light sources used on humans and animals for cosmetic and medical applications, Part 1: Specification for products

The objective of this document is to specify general requirements for operators’ eye protectors for intense light source (ILS) equipment used on humans and animals for cosmetic and medical applications against excessive exposure to optical radiation in the spectral range 250 nm to 3 000 nm, with the exception of laser radiation.

This document is applicable to devices intended for patient protection during ILS procedures, except for treatment in the periorbital area. For guidance on patient eye protection during ILS procedures, refer to SA/SNZ TR ISO 22463. For guidance on the use and selection of ILS eye protectors, refer to AS/NZS ISO 12609.2.

This document does not apply to—
(a) laser protectors, for which AS/NZS ISO 19818.1 applies;
(b) protectors for medically prescribed applications;
(c) protectors specifically intended for protection against only solar radiation and used in non-occupational environments, for which the AS ISO 12312 series applies;
(d) protectors used with tanning equipment; and
(e) protectors intended to protect against ionizing radiation, for which AS/NZS IEC 61331.3 applies.

This document is identical, and has been reproduced from, ISO 12609‑1:2021, Eye and face protection against intense light sources used on humans and animals for cosmetic and medical applications — Part 1: Specification for products.

DR AS/NZS ISO 9488:2024 Solar energy - Vocabulary

The objective of this document is to define basic terms of standardization in the field of the measurement of solar radiation and solar energy utilization in space and water heating, cooling, industrial process heating and air conditioning relating to the work of committee ISO/TC 180.

Consequently, the vocabulary within this document is focused on definitions relating to those measurement and utilization technologies.

This document is identical to, and has been reproduced from, ISO 9488:2022, Solar energy —
Vocabulary.
