Mid clamp and Ground clamp are intended to be used together with PV frames only. Spacer is intended to be used as bonding point between rail and PV frames.

Description

Products covered in this report are grounding clamp and spacers.Grounding clamps and spacers are used to bond PV panels to the racking system that they are mounted on. Grounding clamps are used between one module frame to another module frame.

Bonding clips are used between rail of racking system and frame of PV module.

Grounding clamps achieve bonding through side teeth that penetrate anodized coating of aluminum frame.Grounding clips achieve bonding between the PV panel frame and the mounting rack by using multiple serrated metal punch outs that pierce that anodized coating on the panel frame. The serrated punch outs are on both sides of the product which comes into contact with the panel frame and rail to ensure continuity. Bonding straps achieve bonding through usage of hardware (including washers, nuts, and bolts).

Final installation must be in accordance to NFPA NEC 70 and applicable local jurisdictionBonding straps are used between separate rails to ensure continuity of bonding connection. Mid clamp, Ground clamp, Spacer

10.0 General InformationThe Applicant and Manufacturer have agreed to produce, test and label ETL Listed products in accordance with the requirements of this Report. The Manufacturer has also agreed to notify Intertek and to request authorization prior to using alternate parts, components or materials.

COMPONENTSComponents used shall be those itemized in this Intertek report covering the product, including any amendments and/or revisions.

LISTING MARKThe ETL Listing mark applied to the products shall either be separable in form, such as labels purchased from Intertek, or on a product nameplate or other media only as specifically authorized by Intertek. Use of the mark is subject to the control of Intertek.

The mark must include the following four items:

1) applicable country identifiers "US" and/or "C" or "US", "C" and "EU" 2) the word "Listed" or "Classified" or "Recognized Component" (whichever is appropriate)3) a control number issued by Intertek 4) a product descriptor that identifies the standards used for certification. Example:

For US standards, the words, “Conforms to” shall appear with the standard number along with the word, “Standard” or “Std.” Example: “Conforms to ANSI/UL Std. XX.”

For Canadian standards, the words “Certified to CAN/CSA Standard CXX No. XX.” shall be used, or abbreviated, “Cert. to CAN/CSA Std. CXX No. XX.”

Can be used together when both standards are used.

Note: A facsimile must be submitted to Intertek, Attn: Follow-up Services for approval prior to use. The facsimile need not have a control number. A control number will be issued after signed Certification Agreements have been received by the Follow-up Services office, approval of the facsimile of your proposed Listing Mark, satisfactory completion of the Listing Report, and scheduling of a factory assessment in your facility.

MANUFACTURING AND PRODUCTION TESTSManufacturing and Production Tests shall be performed as required in this Report.

FOLLOW-UP SERVICEPeriodic unannounced audits of the manufacturing facility (and any locations authorized to apply the mark) shall be scheduled by Intertek. An audit report shall be issued after each visit. Special attention will be given to the following:

1. Conformance of the manufactured product to the descriptions in this Report.2. Conformance of the use of the ETL mark with the requirements of this Report and the Certification Agreement.3. Manufacturing changes.4. Performance of specified Manufacturing and Production Tests.

In the event that the Intertek representative identifies non-conformance(s) to any provision of this Report, the Applicant shall take one or more of the following actions:

10.1 Evaluation of Unlisted Components

Note to Intertek Follow Up Inspector: The Component Evaluation Center, CEC, will notify you in writing when these components must be selected and sent to the CEC for re-evaluation

Ship the samples to:Intertek Testing Services NA Inc.ETL Component Evaluation Center45000 Helm Street, Suite 150Plymouth Twp., MI 48170 USAAttn: Component Evaluation CenterSample Disposition: Due to the destructive nature of the testing, all samples will be discarded at the conclusion of testing unless, the manufacturer specifically requests the return of the samples. The request for return must accompany the initial component shipment.�

Because Unlisted Components are uncontrolled, and they do not fall under a third party follow up program, Intertek may require these components to be tested and/or evaluated at least once annually, more often for certain components, as part of the independent certification process. The Unlisted Components in Section 5.0 require testing and/or evaluation as indicated.




11.0 Manufacturing and Production Tests
