… 全球领先的国际标准组织国际电工协会（International Electrotechnical Commission，简称 IEC）将于今年晚些时候，首次发布独立太阳能套件产品的质量标准。这一进展将为各国广泛采纳该些质量标准打开大门，进一步保障消费者权益。 今年1月，IEC 82号技术委员会一致投票批准了技术规范62257-9-8的发布，该规范包含了微型太阳能产品及太阳能家用系统的质量标准，并适用于光伏组件的额定功率不高于350瓦的产品。该些标准是点亮全球质量标准的更新版本，经由世界银行集团制定而且在全世界广泛使用。配合对应的测试方法（IEC / TS 62257-9-5），这些质量标准构筑了离网太阳能行业质量的基础。 多个国家的政府已经在采用强制性的质量标准，将劣质的微型太阳能产品拒之其市场门外，其他地区和国家预计将在不久的将来效仿。得益于IEC标准在全球的高接受度，我们预计将有更多国家政府选择采纳IEC的测试方法和质量标准。质量保证（Quality Assurance, 简称QA) 团队目前也正在向多个表示希望使用质量标准保护消费者的政府提供技术支持。 国际一致的政策途径可以使整个行业价值链中的利益相关方都受益。在相同的标准基础上，供应商只要设计、制造并检测他们新产品一次，即可将这些产品同时销售到多个地区和国家的市场。这将帮助企业以更低的成本，更迅速地将创新产品打入市场，为消费者带来巨大利益。 点亮全球质量保证项目提供的基本服务之一是评估独立太阳能套件产品，并维持一个公开的名录列出符合《点亮全球质量标准》产品。质量保证团队将在今年晚些时候正式采用新发布的IEC 质量标准评估产品。除了开始使用IEC 标准进行检测，质量保证团队也将启用全新品牌 VeraSol 提供质量验证的相关服务。此后，符合IEC 质量标准验证的产品将视为 《VeraSol 验证》产品。 质量保证团队在 www.lightingglobal.org 网站上维护符合《点亮全球质量标准》产品的公开名录，这也是《点亮全球质量标准》验证产品最有公信力的名录。多年来，企业、政府以及其他机构均倚赖该名录寻找质量验证的产品。 今年晚些时候，无论是根据《点亮全球质量标准》还是新IEC 质量标准，所有经过质量验证的产品名录将统一在 VeraSol.org 网站上公布。…
