“In view of the availability of test facilities for limited capacities, providing more time for compliance, the implementation of Quality Control Order(QCO), 2017 for SPV inverters (items 4-5) of the capacity of more than 100 kW stands extended from December 31, 2024, to December 31, 2025, or till further orders, whichever is earlier, based on self-certification,” noted the MNRE order.
It further added, “Manufacturers must have valid IEC certificates corresponding to IS (IS 16221(Part 2):2015/IEC 62109-2:2011 for item No 4 and IS 16169:2014/IEC 62116:2008 for item No. 5), specified in the said order for these items and test reports from accredited test labs, for smooth implementation of the order.”

It was supposed to come into force from September 5, 2018, and the same was modified vide S.O. 5259(E) published in the Gazette of India dated October 12, 2018.
