QCC unveils solar PV assessment scheme

Abu Dhabi / Emirates Business

Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council (QCC), the entity responsible for developing quality infrastructure and raising awareness on quality standards in the emirate of Abu Dhabi, has unveiled a conformity assessment scheme to verify the quality, safety and sustainability performance of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems.
The scheme allows suppliers and manufacturers of solar PV systems that meet the requirements outlined in the certification scheme to apply through the QCC’s Jawdah Online System and obtain the Environmental Performance Trustmark.
Engineer Abdullah Hassan Al Muaini, Executive Director of Conformity Scheme Services at QCC, said: “The Solar PV Systems Certification Scheme was developed as part of the QCC’s mandate to support Abu Dhabi’s ambitious economic diversification strategy and achieve its effective integration into the global trade system as a leading manufacturer of quality, sustainable products. The Scheme will ensure the compliance of solar PV systems to the Regulatory & Supervision Bureau’s (RSB) Electricity Wiring Regulations and Small-Scale Solar Photovoltaic Energy-Netting Regulations.”
