When a PV module is certified and one of its component or its production site is modified, extending the attestation of conformity of this PV module is necessary and mandatory.
In case of a modification, it is no longer necessary to carry out the entire original test sequence used for ELIOCERT declaration of conformity. Indeed, the IEC TS 62915 standard specifies the tests to be redone depending on the type of modification. The number of tests varies from a few to a full test sequence.
In case of a change of the product composition, change of an equipment of the manufacturing facilities or the production plant location, do not hesitate to call on our team to find the best extension strategy. Indeed, having a conformity strategy makes it possible to optimise the declaration of conformity extensions of a product range and, therefore, to reduce costs of the statement of conformity process.
