ASTM E1021-06 - 1.11.2006
 
1. Scope

1.1 This test method is to be used to determine either the absolute or relative spectral responsivity response of a single-junction photovoltaic device. This test method requires the use of a bias light.

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
