FAQ BR PV Electrical Authorization Training
Does BR PV Electrical Authorization Allow Working on Stationary Batteries?
Any intervention on stationary batteries powered by PV installations is excluded from the scope of BR PV electrical authorization. Authorization for live work (TST) on stationary accumulator batteries with indices B1T and/or B2T and/or B1N and/or B2N will be necessary.
Is it Possible to Supervise a Team with BR PV Electrical Authorization?
This authorization allows you to supervise one (and only one) BP authorized Elementary Intervention Officer.
What is the Validity Period of BR PV Electrical Authorization?
In accordance with the requirements of standard NFC 18-510, the authorization is valid for 3 years. A refresher training must be completed before this deadline. The duration of the refresher training is 7 hours.
I Want to Organize an In-Company BR PV Training, What Equipment is Needed?
You must have a room capable of accommodating the trainees and the trainer. If you have a photovoltaic installation available, the practical training can be carried out on it, or we can provide a mobile technical platform depending on the geographical area of the training (consult us).
