        inspection procedure

IEC 62446:2009 defines the minimal information and documentation required to be handed over to a customer following the installation of a grid connected PV system. Also describes the minimum commissioning tests, inspection criteria and documentation expected to verify the safe installation and correct operation of the system. Is written for grid connected PV systems only.
