APPENDIX III (Inspection Process)
INSPECTION PROCESS
FOREWORDS
The Buyer is entitled to carry out inspections and tests before the shipment of the PV modules (the “Modules”). These inspections and tests may be performed by the Buyer or external staff assigned by the Buyer (the “Inspector”).
As part of the inspections, an analysis of a certain quantity of the Modules randomly extracted from the batch may be performed. Afterwards, the Buyer will make a preliminary decision on the quality of the Modules contained in the batch. For the avoidance of doubt, this decision will in no way limit the rights of the Buyer with respect to any defects of the Modules under other warranties.
A batch is defined, as one shipment to be received by the Buyer from the Seller. In one shipment, there could be one or more containers with a number of Modules per container.
INSPECTIONS AND TESTS
1 | DETERMINATION OF THE MAXIMUM POWER |
1.1 | How to obtain the samples |
Normally, the Inspector will choose 5% of the total quantity of the Modules from each container. Such samples must be extracted from the container on a random basis. The flash list of the container should be submitted to the inspector by the Seller before the tests.
1.2 | The maximum power test (According to IEC61215:2005, 10.2) |
The inspector will use a standard module to test these samples. The standard module should be calibrated by the TUV Rheinland Cologne Lab or Shanghai Lab or by the ISE Fraunhofer with a valid calibration report within one year.
• | Inspection tools to be used: A sun simulator equipped with a computer. |
• | Details to be determined through the inspection: electrical characteristics of the Modules. |
• | Sample quantity: 5% of the Modules contained in each container. |
• | Method to be used for the inspection: |
a) | Standard test condition: Irradiance 1000W/m2, Module temperature 25°C, |
b) | The test can be performed if the temperature is not 25°C. The temperature of the standard module should be the same as that of the test samples; otherwise the temperature coefficient of the test samples must be taken into calculation in the final maximum power result. The calculation details is stipulated in the Clause 1.3; |
c) | Adjust the solar simulator with the standard Module; |
d) | Start to flash test the samples, I-V curve and other main data shall be displayed on the computer screen. |
1.3 | Result processing |
• | Rejected samples |
Any Module which the maximum power deviates more than 0~+5Wp from its label power should be replaced by other module with the agreed quality samples.
5
• | Final average power adjusting for the whole container |
a) | Average power tolerance: When the results of all the samples in the inspection test are compared with the results of these samples in the flash test report provided before the testing by the Seller, an average power tolerance (“APT”) can be calculated out as below. |
APT=(åAll the samples (W1-W2-W3×PTC×DT)/Samples quantity
W1=the test result, W2=the result in the flash report provided by the seller,
W3=Label power, PTC=Power Temperature Coefficient,
DT=Temperature of the standard module-Temperature of the test samples
APT=(åAll the samples (W1-W2-W3×PTC×DT))/Samples quantity
b) | If the APT is lower than -0.5% of the sample’s label power (-0.5% is not included), the final average power of the whole container will be adjusted by using APT. For example, the average power result of the whole container in the flash report provided by the Seller is 175.5Wp/module (label power 175Wp), and the APT is -1.0Wp/Module, then the final average power of the whole container should be 175.5-1.0=174.5Wp. |
c) | If the APT is equal to or higher than -0.5% of the sample’s label power, the final average power of the whole container will follow the result in the flash report provided by the Seller. |
• | Retest |
If the Buyer or the Seller does not recognize the inspection results, another 5% of the Modules of the total quantity will be extracted from the remaining modules of the container randomly for repeating the tests described in clauses 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 above. Then the APT will be calculated based on the whole 10% samples.
• | Confirmation of final average power of the container |
The final average power of the whole container (APT was taken into consideration) should not deviates more than 0~+5Wp of the label power. Otherwise the whole container will be rejected.
2 | VISUAL INSPECTIONS |
2.1 | How to obtain the samples |
(According to general inspection levels I, ISO 2859-1)
Normally, the Inspector will perform double sampling plan according to general inspection levels I, ISO2859-1, as the below table shows. The samples must be extracted from the batch which may include one or more containers on a random basis.
For those batch size less than 51 or larger than 10,000, the sampling plan will be performed according to the buyer’s requirements.

u) | Any other defect that could affect the normal behaviour of the module. |
2.3 | Result processing |
• | Rejected samples |
Any modules which has above defects should be rejected.
• | Rejected batch |
The inspector will judge the acceptance of this batch by using the smallest AQL (acceptance quality level) which possibly can reach with the sample size. The smaller the AQL, the smaller the risk of the batch quality.
a) | If there is more than one sample rejected, the whole batch should be regarded as unacceptable. |
b) | If only one sample is rejected, more samples which equals the first sample size should be extracted from the batch, and visual inspections described in clauses 2.2 and 2.3 should be repeated. If again there is one or more new sample rejected, the whole batch should be regarded as unacceptable. |
• | Determine the value of AQL (Acceptable Quality Level) |
The inspector will determine the value of AQL for the visual inspections of this batch according to the inspection results;
2.4 | 100% visual inspection |
If the whole container is rejected, A decision for a 100% visual inspection will be made by the buyer. The 100% visual inspection will be performed by the inspector.

3 | MATERIALS AND MATERIAL COMBINATIONS CHECK |
the Buyer is entitled to verify whether the materials used for the Module production conform to the in Appendix II agreed materials and material combinations (or in the purchase order specified materials and materials combinations) by means of random sampling of delivery notes and work slips for the past period and the inspection of inventory of the Seller.
Reasons for rejection:
The Buyer is entitled to reject the whole batch, if
a) | The delivery notes, the inventories, or the work slips of the materials and materials combinations are not provided by the Seller; or |
b) | The amount of the materials and materials combinations in the delivery notes, the inventories or the work slips does not cover all of the Modules contained in the batch; or |
