25、ional Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electron

26、ic elds. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IE

27、C National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and nongovernmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardizati

28、on (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representa

29、tion from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cann

30、ot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publication

31、s. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certication bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, acces

32、s to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certication bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individ

33、ual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, th

34、is IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of th

35、is IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 62108 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 82: Solar photovoltaic energy systems. This second edition cancels and replaces the r

36、st edition, issued in 2007. It constitutes a technical revision. JUNE 1, 2017 UL 62108 7UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL The main technical changes with regard to the previous edition are as follows: a) Changes in outdoor expo

37、sure from 1000 h to 500 h. b) Changes in current cycling during thermal cycling test. c) Added dust ingress test. d) Eliminated thermal cycling associated with damp heat test. e) Eliminated UV exposure test. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 82/1142

38、/FDIS 82/1161/RVD Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The committee has decided that the contents of this publication w

39、ill remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC website under http:/webstore.iec.ch in the data related to the specic publication. At this date, the publication will be reconrmed, withdrawn, replaced by a revised edition, or amended. JUNE 1, 2017 UL 62108 8UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL

41、l of concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) modules and assemblies suitable for long-term operation in general open-air climates as dened in IEC 60721-2-1. The test sequence is partially based on that specied in IEC 61215-1 for the design qualication and type approval of at-plate terrestrial crystalline si

42、licon PV modules. However, some changes have been made to account for the special features of CPV receivers and modules, particularly with regard to the separation of on-site and in-lab tests, effects of tracking alignment, high current density, and rapid temperature changes, which have resulted in

43、the formulation of some new test procedures or new requirements. The object of this test standard is to determine the electrical, mechanical, and thermal characteristics of the CPV modules and assemblies and to show, as far as possible within reasonable constraints of cost and time, that the CPV mod

44、ules and assemblies are capable of withstanding prolonged exposure in climates described in the scope. The actual life of CPV modules and assemblies so qualied will depend on their design, production, environment, and the conditions under which they are operated. This standard shall be used in conju

45、nction with the retest guidelines described in Annex B. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest
