Technical Committee on Standardization:

The PV GAP Technical Committee on Standardization is open to all experts globally. PV GAP will accept and promote globally the IEC Standards. If no IEC standard is available, then the Technical Committee on Standardization could write PV specifications, or based on the recommendation of the Technical Committee on Standardization, PV GAP could accept existing or future standards of other bodies as "PV GAP Recommended Specifications (PVRS)." The Board of PV GAP will review these recommendations and, if accepted, PV GAP will promote their use globally. These PVRSs will then be submitted to IEC TC 82 to develop them into permanent IEC Standards, which, when completed, will replace the PVRS.
