Under its new recognition by Japan’s Department of Energy and its Japanese Photovoltaic Expansion Center (J-PEC), Intertek’s CB reports on PV products distributed to the Japanese market will be eligible for consumer subsidies. The recognition allows for a more streamlined operation where a manufacturer that has their PV products tested and certified by Intertek will not need any supplementary certifications or approvals when entering the Japanese market.
“Intertek can support its clients, located around the world, looking to access Japan and other global markets that are accelerating the growth of solar and renewable energy production” stated Sunny Rai, business line director of photovoltaic products at Intertek.
Intertek notes that the recognition by J-PEC joins their partnership with the US Department of Energy, Natural Resources Canada and the International Electro-technical Commission (IEC) for test reports used by national, international and state level governments worldwide.
