Runergy has announced that its dual glass PV modules have achieved the highest Class 1 fire resistance certification from Italy’s CSI laboratory, demonstrating outstanding performance in a series of rigorous tests conducted in accordance with the country’s UNI 9177 standard.
Runergy dual glass modules to have now obtained Class 1 certification include all those based on PERC, N-type and HJT technologies.
Italy, characterized by a Mediterranean climate with hot and dry summers, places significant emphasis on the fire resistance capabilities of modules. The country has stringent classification criteria for fire resistance, with the UNI 9177 certification standard being a key benchmark. This standard evaluates combustion performance based on tests outlined in UNI 8457 and 9174 standards to determine the fire resistance level and assess the surface resistance of modules to flames and radiating heat. It is widely regarded as the most challenging such certification in Europe.
“We are delighted to have passed the highest level of fire resistance testing by Italy’s leading institute. It verifies the stringent quality control and excellent performance of our module products that meet the needs of our clients globally. In each of our global markets, we make the utmost effort to serve our clients with customized products that surpass both local and international standards,” commented Ellen Wang, Runergy VP for global module sales.
