IEC EN 62109-1 Safety of Power Converters for Use in Photovoltaic Power Systems - Part 1: Standard Test for General Requirements

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 62109-1 test. IEC EN 62109-1 applies to power conversion equipment (PCE) for use in photovoltaic systems where a uniform technical level is required for safety. It defines the minimum requirements for the design and manufacture of PCE for protection against electric shock, energy, fire, mechanical and other hazards. It provides the general requirements applicable to all PV PCE types.

Tests on sub-parts of equipment that meet the requirements of the relevant reference standards specified in this standard and are used in accordance with them and used in conditions not more severe than those applied during the test to determine conformity to the reference standards do not need to be repeated in type order.

Compliance with the requirements of this standard is checked by performing all applicable tests in this standard, but the test may not be carried out if the examination of the equipment indicates with certainty that the equipment will pass the test.

The order of the tests is optional, unless otherwise specified in this standard. The EUT should be carefully examined after each test for damage that poses a potential hazard within the meaning of this standard. The same sample need not be used for all tests unless otherwise specified in this standard.

The product subjected to type tests must be physically and electrically representative of future production products such that assessments made according to this standard are adequately representative of future production units.

Equipment should be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions in the configuration that results in the worst test conditions. Ventilation effects, wall, recess, cabinet, etc. placement, structures, other equipment, etc. Close installations should be considered.
