Abstract :
The 17/sup th/ European photovoltaic solar energy conference and exhibition in October 2001 in Munich gave the opportunity for RWE Schott solar and photowatt international to discuss with the Global Approval Program for Photovoltaics (PV GAP) the possibility of obtaining PV GAP\´s "PV quality mark" for their PV modules, via certification under the IEC quality assessment system for electronic components (IECQ) which is currently providing the product certification service for PV GAP. The Mark is international, dedicated to PV components (there is also a seal for systems), and accepted by the world bank in its programs.
