6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic panel combustion level classification standard]

What is the fire classification of a roof mounted photovoltaic system?

1509.7.2 Fire classification. Rooftop mounted photovoltaic systems shall have the same fire classification as the roof assembly required by Section 1505. Different language was approved in the IRC. M2302.2.1 Roof‐mounted panels and modules.

Are photovoltaic panels fire rated?

Effective January 1, 2015, Rooftop mounted photovoltaic panels and modules shall be tested, listed and identified with a fire classification in accordance with UL 1703. The fire classification shall comply with Table 1505.1 of the California Building Code based on the type of construction of the building.

Is there a suitable assessment of Fire classification of (PV modules) materials?

In the meantime, has a suitable assessment of fire classification of (PV modules) materials of construction and available test data been undertaken, where available (e.g. UL 1703, UL 790, PD CLC/TR 50670:2016, BS EN 61730-2:2007, ASTM E108-20a)?

What is electrical module/system requirement for fire safety of photovoltaic?

Electrical module/system requirement for fire safety of photovoltaic. In general, construction materials are required to be evaluated for their fire behaviour (i.e. how the material responds to a fire) at the material level while the resistance to fire is evaluated at the system level (e.g. wall or floor assemblies).

Does a PV system have a fire rating?

New language in the 2012 IBC requires the PV system to match the required fire rating of the roof. The general requirement for roofing systems in the IBC is for Class B and C fire rating. (Class B for assembly occupancy buildings) California has the most Class A and B roof fire rating requirements.

What are the IEC standards for photovoltaic systems?

The IEC also manages global conformity assessment systems that certify whether equipment, systems, or components conform to its international standards. In 2016 and 2020, IEC published two key associated standards: BS EN IEC 62446-1:2016 Photovoltaic (PV) systems – Requirements for testing, documentation and maintenance.
