The World Bank Group, one of the main financers of PV projects in less developed countries, has issued advice to its staff that products displaying the PV Global Approval Programme’s Quality Mark and/or Seal are of an acceptable standard for World Bank supported contracts.

The PV-GAP mark for components and seal for systems are effectively underwritten by the International Electrotechnical Commission, the international standards and conformity assessment body responsible for all fields of electrotechnology. PVGAP licences approved manufacturers to use the visual indicators on their components, which simplifies the quality recognition procedure for bank staff and their clients.
