BS EN 62446-1:2016 pdf download.Photovoltaic (PV) systems – Requirements for testing, documentation and maintenance Part 1: Grid connected systems – Documentation, commissioning tests and inspection.
This part of IEC 62446 defines the different test regimes expected for different solar PV system types to ensure that the test regime applied is appropriate to the scale, type and complexity of the system in question.
NOTE This part of 1EC 62446 does not address CPV (concentrating PV) systems, however many of the parts may apply.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1 AC module
PV module with an integrated inverter in which the electrical terminals are AC only
3.2 cable type
description of a cable to enable its rating and suitability for a particular use or environment to be determined
Note 1 to entry: In many countries this Is done via a code number (eg HO7RNF).
3.3 data sheet
basic product description and specification
Note ito entry: Typically one or two pages. Not a lull product manual.
3.4 inspection
examination of an electrical installation using all the senses in order to ascertain correct selection and proper erection of electrical equipment
3.5 inverter
electric energy converter that changes direct electric current to single-phase or polyphase alternating current
3.6 micro Inverter
small inverter designed to be connected directly to one or two PV modules.
Note 1 to entry: A micro inverter will normally connect directly to the factory fitted module leads and be fixed to the module frame or mounted Immediately adjacent to the module.
3.7 module integrated electronics
any electronic device fitted to a PV module intended to provide control, monitoring or power conversion functions.BS EN 62446-1 pdf download.
