IEC 61730
International safety standard for solar modules covering electrical insulation, fire safety, and mechanical strength.
Detailed Explanation
IEC 61730 complements IEC 61215 by focusing on safety rather than reliability. Tests include electrical insulation (Class A or Class B categorization), fire safety (UL 790 Class C or equivalent), frame grounding continuity, and mechanical strength. Most buyers require both IEC 61215 AND IEC 61730 as a standard combo. Modules labeled "IEC certified" typically mean both standards pass.
