Overview
This International Standard describes the fundamental construction requirements for photovoltaic (PV) modules in order to provide safe electrical and mechanical operation during their intended service life. Specific topics are provided to assess the prevention of electrical shock, fire hazards, and personal injury due to mechanical and environmental stresses. This part of EN 61730 deals with the particular requirements of construction. EN 61730-2 outlines the requirements of testing. This amendment contains modifications of 5.1 and 5.4.3. The responsible committee is DKE/K 373 "Photovoltaische Solarenergie-Systeme" ("Photovoltaic solar energy systems") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
