This European Standard describes data sheet and product data information for crystalline silicon solar
cells.
The intent of this standard is to provide minimum information required to configure safe and optimal
photovoltaic modules.
In this context, data sheet information is a technical description separate from the photovoltaic
module.
Product data information concerns the packaging, marking, storage and containing a commitment to
inform about major changes on product and on process. These data are needed for further processing
of solar cells to photovoltaic modules.
