IEC TS 62257-9-8/FRAGF ED1

Renewable energy and hybrid systems for rural electrification - Part 9-8: Integrated systems - Requirements for stand-alone renewable energy products with power ratings less than or equal to 350 W

Scope

IEC 62257-9-8:2020 provides baseline requirements for quality, durability and truth in advertising to protect consumers of off-grid renewable energy products. Evaluation of these requirements is based on tests described in IEC TS 62257-9-5. This document can be used alone or in conjunction with other international standards that address the safety and durability of components of off-grid renewable energy products.

The purpose of this document is to provide baseline standards for quality, durability and truth-in-advertising to protect consumers of stand-alone renewable energy products. This document is specifically related to renewable energy products that are packaged and made available to end-use consumers at the point of purchase as single, stand-alone products that do not require additional system components to function. This document applies to products with peak power ratings of 350 W or less. While most provisions apply to all products in this range, a few are applicable only to products with peak power ratings greater than 10 W and less than or equal to 350 W.
