 Moreover, a quality seal of approval is given for PV components that were tested under PV GAP conditions. This quality seal of approval is to become established if at all possible in international tenders as the prerequisite for the approval of components and systems. Qualified and recognised producers, sales and installation companies or system integrators have the right to display the quality seal of approval for PV components and systems.

 In June 1997, the Technical Committee TC 82 WG 3 of '''International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)''' drafted its first standard with the title "PV Stand-Alone Systems - Design Qualification and Type Approval". This draft refers to individual home application with a solar generator with a maximum of 1000 Wpeak and electrical loads like lamps, radio, TV, refrigerator and telecommunication facilities. In this draft test procedures are described that can be used to determine the electrical and technical operating characteristics of PV systems and their components.

 The current draft, however, is more or less a loose collection of individual documents, and is by far not yet complete for an international standard. Important information such as minimum requirements, system layout, installation, etc., are still missing or are extremely incomplete. In the meantime, there are indications that this draft will be replaced by a new proposal of a European group of experts with representatives of the French GENEC, the Spanish CIAMAT, the German TÜV-Rheinland and the European joint research institute ISPRA.

 *It remains to be seen how PV GAP develops in the future and whether offices issuing tenders and international donor organisations refer to the quality standards made by PV GAP. As the example of the Training Manual prepared for the World Bank in 1999 shows, however, the PV GAP’s quality assurance function has already met with international interest. If these standards become established in future tender procedures, tests according to PV GAP standards will be binding on the suppliers.

 Various PV experts commented on the draft of this standardisation proposal (it does not make any claim to being an international standard), which was distributed in June 1997, and the suggested revisions were incorporated in the final version which was released in Spring 1998. A detailed commentary by the author in behalf of GTZ on the draft study was sent to the Instituto de Energía Solar in early November 1997 and the revisions suggested in the commentary were largely taken into account in the final version. The current, revised version of this GTZ publication now contains the proposed specifications, if they did not conflict with statements from other sources or the opinion of the author.

 Aside from the costs for the tests, which necessarily have to be taken into account in the product price, the process has nothing but advantages for the users, because the operating safety of the whole system is improved. Fears that only a small number of highly qualified and best-equipped laboratories in industrialised countries will be able to carry out these tests should be dispelled by qualifying and accrediting smaller laboratories in developing countries, for example in the framework of PV GAP. The world-wide networking should make it possible for every producer to have his products tested and certified in any accredited laboratory anywhere on the world.
