Should the US vote to approve the one-time extension?
Background:
Proposal from the German MB:
“5.5.3 The REIB shall be accredited according to ISO/IEC 17020 and RECB shall be accredited according to ISO/IEC 17065 by a signatory of the IAF MLA. Peer assessment shall be done every year if the applicant not has accreditation. If applicant has ISO/IEC 17065 / ISO/IEC 17020 accredited and apply as REIB/RECB peer assessment to perform every 3 years shall focus in non-accredited part. REIB or RECB is only permitted to perform inspection and certification according to standards that are in their scope of accreditation.”
5.5.4 In addition to a successful assessment, the REIB shall have the experience of at least three (3) prior inspections of PV power plants, and the RECB shall have the experience of at least three (3) prior certifications according to 5.4.3”
Sections 8.1.9, 8.2.9, and 8.3.9 outline the requirements of Re-Assessment of RETL, RECB, and REIB, respectively:
“The acceptance of the < RETL (8.1.9) / RECB (8.2.9) / REIB (8.3.9) > is valid for a period of maximum five years and the Sector specific OD may give further details with respect to the validity period (but cannot exceed the five years). …”
Currently, no RECTFs (in WE-OMC) are registered so that is not a factor of concern.
Action:
The REMC Member Bodies to approve the following:
(1) The RECBs currently approved to operate under the PV Energy Sector shall be allowed to execute their privileges extending their current expiry date for registration by 2 years beyond the current date of expiration as a one-time grace period and without having to undergo a peer assessment until that extend expiration date.
(2) The REIBs currently approved to operate under the PV Energy Sector shall be allowed to execute their privileges extending their current expiry date for registration by 2 years beyond the current date of expiration as a one-time grace period and without having to undergo a peer assessment until that extend expiration date.
Ballots are to be returned to the IECRE Secretariat ([email protected]) no later than
2020-06-25.
NOTE: USNC/IECRE ballots are to be submitted within thirty days to allow for resolution of any comments prior to the IEC deadline.
