Photovoltaic devices - Part 4: Reference solar devices - Procedures for establishing calibration traceability
IEC 60904-4:2019 is available as IEC 60904-4:2019 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.IEC 60904-4:2019 sets the requirements for calibration procedures intended to establish the traceability of photovoltaic (PV) reference devices to SI units as required by IEC 60904-2. This document applies to PV reference devices that are used to measure the irradiance of natural or simulated sunlight for the purpose of quantifying the performance of PV devices. The use of a PV reference device is required in many standards concerning PV (e.g. IEC 60904-1 and IEC 60904-3). This document has been written with single-junction PV reference devices in mind, in particular crystalline silicon, but it is sufficiently general to include other single-junction technologies. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2009. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: modification of standard title; - inclusion of working reference in traceability chain; - update of WRR with respect to SI; - revision of all methods and their uncertainties in annex - harmonization of symbols and formulae with other IEC standards.

IEC 60904-4:2019 est disponible sous forme de IEC 60904-4:2019 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.L’IEC 60904-4:2019 fixe les exigences relatives aux procédures d'étalonnage dans le but d'établir la traçabilité des dispositifs photovoltaïques (PV) de référence en unités SI, comme cela est exigé par l’IEC 60904-2. Le présent document s'applique aux dispositifs PV de référence utilisés pour mesurer l'éclairement énergétique de la lumière solaire naturelle ou simulée afin de quantifier les performances des dispositifs PV. L'utilisation d'un dispositif PV de référence est exigée dans de nombreuses normes relatives aux dispositifs PV (par exemple, l’IEC 60904-1 et l’IEC 60904-3). Le présent document a été rédigé en prenant en considération les dispositifs PV de référence à jonction unique, en particulier le silicium cristallin, mais il est suffisamment général pour inclure d’autres technologies à jonction unique. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2009. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’édition précédente: - modification du titre de la norme; - incorporation de la référence de travail à la chaîne de traçabilité; - mise à jour de la WRR (world radiometric reference - référence radiométrique mondiale) par rapport au SI; - révision de toutes les méthodes et de leurs incertitudes à l’annexe: - harmonisation des symboles et formules avec les autres normes IEC.
Fotonapetostne naprave - 4. del: Referenčne sončne naprave - Postopki za vzpostavljanje sledljivosti kalibracije
Ta dokument določa zahteve za postopke vzpostavljanja sledljivosti kalibracije fotonapetostnih (PV) referenčnih naprav v enotah SI, kot zahteva standard IEC 60904-2. Dokument se uporablja za fotonapetostne referenčne naprave, ki se uporabljajo za merjenje obsevanja naravne ali simulirane sončne svetlobe z namenom količinske opredelitve učinkovitosti fotonapetostnih naprav. Uporaba fotonapetostne referenčne naprave je zahtevana v več standardih, ki zadevajo fotonapetostne naprave (npr. IEC 60904-1 in IEC 60904-3). Ta dokument je bil napisan predvsem za fotonapetostne naprave z enim spojem, zlasti za tiste s kristalno silicijevo celico, vendar je dovolj splošen, da se lahko uporablja tudi za druge tehnologije z enim spojem.
