The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has officially appointed JinkoSolar’s Chief Scientist Dr. Jin Hao to the position of convener of TC82’s WG8 Photovoltaic Cell Workgroup after a vote was held amongst all member countries. This enables JinkoSolar to further build its international competitiveness and impact in the field of solar photovoltaic international standardization, which is of great significance for the health and sustainable development of China’s photovoltaic (PV) industry.
The International Electrotechnical Commission TC82 Committee is an organization specializing in the standardization work of solar photovoltaic energy systems and related technologies. The committee promotes solar photovoltaic standardization work to a higher and deeper development phase. Currently, the industry’s leading certification authority TÜV, JET, VDE commonly apply IEC61215, IEC61730 and other IEC standards as their testing and judgment criteria. As the convener of IEC/TC82/WG8 Workgroup, JinkoSolar’s Chief Scientist Dr. Jin Hao will be responsible for gathering technology experts from all member countries to jointly formulate and optimize the international standards of solar photovoltaic cells, filling the gap of the current underdeveloped standards and promoting the healthy development of the solar PV industry.
Founded in 1906, the IEC is the world’s leading organization for the preparation and publication of International Standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies. IEC provides a platform to companies, industries and governments for meeting, discussing and developing the International Standards they require. All IEC International Standards are fully consensus-based and represent the needs of key stakeholders of every nation participating in IEC work. Every member country, no matter how large or small, has one vote and a say in what goes into an IEC International Standard. The IEC promotes world trade and economic growth and encourages the development of products, systems and services that are safe, efficient and environmentally friendly.
