IEC 60364-4-41 is about protection against electric shock for low-voltage electrical installations; it describes personnel safety measures for electrical systems. For photovoltaic systems it suggests total insulation, which requires a special insulation of the PV modules (according to Safety Class II) on the basis of the following requirements:

Solar energy is used in two different ways: one through the solar thermal route using solar collectors, heaters, dryers, etc., and the other through the solar electricity route using SPV, as shown in Fig. 1.A SPV system consists of arrays and combinations of PV panels, a charge controller for direct current (DC) and alternating current
Many organizations have established standards that address photovoltaic (PV) system component safety, design, installation, and monitoring. Standards are norms or requirements that establish a basis for the common understanding
There are numerous national and international bodies that set standards for photovoltaics. There are standards for nearly every stage of the PV life cycle, including materials and processes used in the production of PV panels, testing methodologies, performance standards, and design and installation guidelines.
At least three regulatory levels for the production, installation, operation and end of life of photovoltaic systems can be considered. Additionally, the Life Cycle Assessment methodology is also regulated by standards. In this chapter, the three levels are presented.
Additional standards and guidelines have later been published such as the ISO 21930 (Environmental Product Declaration on Construction Products”, International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 2017), and the Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCR) for PV electricity (TS PEF Pilot PV 2018).
The introduction of an Energy Label for residential scale photovoltaic systems will be a novelty for electricity generating equipment and runs a risk of confusing and disincentivising the electricity prosumer.
First, to regulate system design and battery function: IEC 62124 for stand-alone PV system design recommendations and PV performance evaluation (including battery testing and recovery after periods of low state-of-charge) in a variety of climatic conditions, and IEC 62509 for battery charge controllers.
There are currently 169 published IEC standards by TC-82 related to photovoltaic technology, and work is in progress for 69 more (new ones or revisions). This set of standards is the most broadly used by the scientific community and technicians in research centres and companies.
