Certification Status Report. Report on currently existing standards and norms applicable to the different IPV products for specified regions. D4.3
report
The MC2.0 project focuses on the development of four different IPV products: a metal façade from Schweizer, a corrugated rooftile from Wienerberger, an insulated glass unit from Glass to Power and a blind integrated into an insulated glass unit from IWIN. The four products make use of PV semi-fabricates manufactured in a mass customization line. For the commercialization of the products, certification is required. However, due to the novel nature of the products, which involve a combination of building and PV elements, the most applicable norms need to be identified or do not yet exist. In this deliverable, the state of the art for BIPV certification at EU level is reviewed by the research institutes involved in the project. Existing standards applicable to the products studied are selected in collaboration with the product owners, and gaps (aspects that the available norms cannot certify) are identified. This deliverable will help product owners navigate through existing standards for future certification of their product. It will also serve as a basis for D4.4, where a more specific approach towards certification of mass-customised semi-fabricates will be proposed. The impact of such certification on the value-chain will also be studied. Moreover, some of the tests included in the norms listed in this deliverable will be applied in D2.7 for the determination of the life time and reliability of the studied products.
