This standard applies to photovoltaic modules used as construction products. The document is addressed to manufacturers, planners, system designers, installers, testing institutes and building authorities. This document references international standards, technical reports and guidelines. For some applications in addition national standards (or regulations) for building products may apply in individual countries, which are not explicitly referenced here and for which harmonized European Standards are not yet available. It focuses on the properties of these photovoltaic modules relevant to essential building requirements. These are requirements on the PV modules in the specific ways they are intended to be mounted but not the mounting structure itself, which is within the scope of EN 50583-2. This standard does not apply to concentrating or building-attached photovoltaic modules. The responsible committee is DKE/K 373 "Photovoltaische Solarenergie-Systeme" ("Photovoltaic solar power systems") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
