IEA SHC Task 57 - Solar Standards and Certification (II)
The objective is to continue Danish management of IEA SHC Task 57 ”Solar Standards and Certification” until the end of the task period. This task supports international co-operation on improvement and promotion of international standards – and harmonisation of national/regional certification schemes. The overall aim is to lower costs on quality products and minimise technical trade barriers.
Project description
The purpose and objectives of the task are to develop, improve and promote ISO standards on test procedures and requirements for solar thermal products - and to harmonize at international level certification schemes to increase in general the level of quality and at the same time avoid the need for re-testing and re-inspection (hence reduce costs).
The Task aims at the following outcomes:
- Implementation of the concept of “Global Solar Certification network”: Mutual recognition of test and inspection reports between members of the Network. This will save manufacturers and distributors acting on the global market for significant costs.
- Proposals for new and/or improved ISO standards for solar thermal products.
- More use of ISO 9806 and other solar thermal standards
- Better worldwide harmonization with respect to certification of solar collectors - and other solar thermal products.
- Removal/lowering of technical trade barriers.
