Executive Summary:
This document pertains to the Solar Photovoltaics, Systems, Devices and Components Goods Requirements for Compulsory Registration Order, 2017. It advances the date of coming into force for the order and provides a relaxation for SPV Module manufacturers to submit a self-certification until June 30, 2018, under specific conditions. The document also includes a schedule of products and their corresponding Indian Standards, along with their implementation dates.
Key Points / Main Content:
* **Order Amendment:** The date of coming into force of the Solar Photovoltaics Order, 2017 is advanced as per the schedule annexed to the document.
* **Self-Certification for SPV Modules (Until June 30, 2018):**
* SPV Module manufacturers may submit self-certification of conformity to relevant Indian or IEC standards, along with proof of sample submission to laboratories and the expected testing completion date.
* Self-certification is allowed if the material has already been IEC certified, accompanied by the IEC certificate and test reports.
* For imported material, self-certification can be given by either the manufacturer or the importer.
* **Schedule of Products and Implementation Dates:**
* Crystalline Silicon Terrestrial Photovoltaic PV modules (IS 14286:2010): April 16, 2018.
* Thin Film Terrestrial Photovoltaic PV Modules (IS 16077:2013): April 16, 2018.
* PV Module Safety Qualification (IS/IEC 61730 Part 1: 2004): April 16, 2018 (without fire test), July 1, 2018 (with fire test).
* PV Module Safety Qualification (IS/IEC 61730 Part 2: 2004): April 16, 2018.
* Power Inverter Safety (IS 16221 Part 1: 2016): April 16, 2018 (up to 100 kW), October 1, 2018 (above 100 kW).
* Power Inverter Safety (IS 16221 Part 2: 2015).
* Utility Interconnected Photovoltaic inverters (IS 16169:2014): April 16, 2018 (up to 100 kW), October 1, 2018 (above 100 kW).
Impact Analysis:
Manufacturers of SPV Modules:
* Impact: Can use self-certification until June 30, 2018, under certain conditions, potentially easing the initial burden of compliance.
* Action Required: Submit self-certification with required documentation (proof of sample submission or IEC certification) before the deadline.
Importers of SPV Modules:
* Impact: Can provide self-certification for imported materials.
* Action Required: Ensure self-certification is provided with the necessary documentation.
Laboratories Testing SPV Modules:
* Impact: Increased workload to test SPV modules
* Action Required: Complete testing of submitted samples and provide results in a timely manner
Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS):
* Impact: Standards referenced are key to compliance
* Action Required: Stay aligned with the new order.
Stakeholders including Bureau of Indian Standards:
* Impact: Discussions with stakeholders informed the advanced date of the order.
* Action Required: Be aware of the changes and ensure compliance with the new implementation dates for the specified products.

NOTIFICATION
New Delhi, the 16th April 2018
S.O. 1602(E).—Whereas the Central Government had issued “Solar Photovoltaics, Systems, Devices and
Components Goods (Requirements for Compulsory Registration) Order, 2017“ vide S.O 2920 (E) dated 5 September
2017 with the date of coming into force with effect from 5th September 2018. And whereas, having discussions with the
various stakeholders including the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), the date of coming into force of the said Order
stands advanced as indicated against each product in the Schedule Annexed.
2. Whereas, considering the time taken for testing of the products mentioned in the Schedule annexed, the
manufacturers in the case of SPV Module may submit a self-certification that their products conform to the relevant
Indian Standards or their IEC counterparts (including subsequent Standards, if any) along with proof of submission of¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º Hkkjr dk jkti=k % vlk/kj.k 3
samples to the laboratories with the expected date of completion of testing. Such relaxation shall be applicable till
30th June 2018.
Provided that submission of samples would not be necessary along with self-certification under Clause 2 above in case
the material for which self-certification is being done has been already IEC certified. In such a case , it would be
sufficient for the self certification to be accompanied by the IEC certificate and test reports
Provided further that in case of imported material for which self-certification is being given as per Clause 2 above, the
self-certification may be given either by the manufacturer or the importer.
