GAP MATRIX
Compliance Gap Matrix
| Compliance item | Common China baseline | Armenia (SARM / PSRC / ENA) | Gap / action | Source + verification date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EMC — EAEU TR CU 020/2011, IEC 61000 Evidence, and Armenia Grid Installation Conditions | China-side packages commonly include GB/T 37408-2021, NB/T 32004, GB/T 19964-2024, and EMC reports prepared for Chinese certification, CNAS testing, IEC/CISPR export projects, or purchaser audits. Those reports may be useful inputs, but Chinese EMC evidence is not an automatic TR CU 020/2011 declaration or certificate for Armenia and does not by itself authorize EAC marking.GB/T 37408-2021 — 光伏并网逆变器技术要求 (Technical Requirements for Photovoltaic Grid-Connected Inverters) NB/T 32004 — 光伏并网逆变器技术规范 (Technical Specification for Photovoltaic Grid-Connected Inverters) GB/T 19964-2024 — 光伏发电站接入电力系统技术规定 (Technical Requirements for Connecting Photovoltaic Power Station to Power System) |
Because Armenia is an EAEU member, PV inverters and related electronic power-conversion equipment supplied into Armenia may fall within TR CU 020/2011 on electromagnetic compatibility when in scope. EAC conformity is therefore a genuine Armenia pathway for in-scope products, alongside Armenia SARM standards practice and project-level PSRC / ENA requirements. The technical file should address emissions, immunity, harmonic current, installation conditions, cable routing, filters, grounding, operating modes, and any grid-code firmware configuration. IEC 61000-series test evidence can support the EMC file, but the conformity route, applicant, language documents, and model coverage must be confirmed for Armenia/EAEU use.TR CU 020/2011 — Electromagnetic compatibility of technical devices EAEU EAC conformity marking for products within applicable technical-regulation scope IEC 61000 series — Electromagnetic compatibility test methods, emissions, immunity, and harmonic-current evidence SARM adoption or recognition of Armenian, IEC, and GOST-family standards where applicable |
Gap: exporters must map the exact inverter model, firmware, filters, accessories, manuals, and intended Armenia installation conditions to TR CU 020/2011 and any standards named by the EAEU conformity body or SARM/project reviewer. IEC 61000 reports from another market may need a delta review or retesting, especially where harmonic performance depends on voltage, grid impedance, or operating mode.[INFORMATIONAL] Armenia is an EAEU member, so TR CU 020/2011 and EAC marking can apply to in-scope inverter EMC. Treat China GB/T or IEC/CISPR EMC reports as input evidence only until a qualified EAEU conformity route, model coverage, language file, and Armenia project requirements are confirmed. | National Body for Standards and Metrology of the Republic of Armenia (SARM)2026-06-14 · unverified |
| Armenia Grid Connection — PSRC / ENA Review, Anti-Islanding, and 220/380 V 50 Hz Settings | China-side grid evidence commonly includes GB/T 19964-2024 for photovoltaic power stations connected to power systems, NB/T 32004 for PV grid-connected inverter technical specifications, GB/T 37408-2021 technical requirements, and domestic anti-islanding or grid-code test results. These documents are based on Chinese grid rules and manufacturer settings. They can help explain the product baseline but do not transfer automatically to Armenia's PSRC / ENA connection review or project-owner requirements.GB/T 19964-2024 — 光伏发电站接入电力系统技术规定 (Technical Requirements for Connecting Photovoltaic Power Station to Power System) NB/T 32004 — 光伏并网逆变器技术规范 (Technical Specification for Photovoltaic Grid-Connected Inverters) GB/T 37408-2021 — 光伏并网逆变器技术要求 (Technical Requirements for Photovoltaic Grid-Connected Inverters) |
Solar PV inverter deployment in Armenia is not only a product-certification question. Project connection depends on electricity-sector rules overseen by the Public Services Regulatory Commission (PSRC) and technical connection by Electric Networks of Armenia (ENA) for distribution projects, with HVEN relevant for transmission-level projects. Armenia's commonly stated low-voltage supply is 220/380 V at 50 Hz, so inverter firmware, protection thresholds, reconnection delays, frequency windows, and anti-islanding behavior should be validated for local network settings. For autonomous producers, distributed PV, Masrik-1 / Ayg-1 style utility projects, or other grid-connected solar projects, ENA / project-owner documentation may request IEC-aligned evidence such as IEC 62116 anti-islanding and IEC 61727 utility-interface behavior.PSRC electricity-sector regulatory decisions and autonomous-producer / net-metering rules where applicable ENA distribution-grid technical connection conditions IEC 62116 — Utility-interconnected photovoltaic inverters — Test procedure of islanding prevention measures IEC 61727 — Photovoltaic systems — Characteristics of the utility interface Armenia low-voltage grid expectation: 220/380 V, 50 Hz |
Gap: Chinese grid-code and anti-islanding reports are not ENA connection approvals. Exporters should prepare an Armenia-specific grid-settings table, IEC 62116 / IEC 61727 evidence where requested, firmware parameter records for 220/380 V 50 Hz operation, and project-specific responses to ENA or HVEN technical conditions. The EAEU / EAC product route does not replace PSRC / ENA connection review; both may be relevant.[INFORMATIONAL] Treat ENA or HVEN technical conditions and PSRC electricity-sector rules as separate project gates from Chinese GB/T grid evidence and from EAEU/EAC product conformity. Validate anti-islanding, reconnection, voltage, and frequency settings for Armenia's 220/380 V, 50 Hz network before connection submission. | Electric Networks of Armenia (ENA)2026-06-14 · unverified |
| PSRC Autonomous-Producer / Net-Metering Context for Distributed Solar | China's distributed PV connection practice is governed by Chinese energy-policy documents, local grid-company procedures, and China domestic inverter standards. Those approvals and installer processes do not create eligibility for Armenia's autonomous-producer, net-metering, or ENA connection arrangements.NB/T 32004 — 光伏并网逆变器技术规范 (Technical Specification for Photovoltaic Grid-Connected Inverters) GB/T 37408-2021 — 光伏并网逆变器技术要求 (Technical Requirements for Photovoltaic Grid-Connected Inverters) GB/T 19964-2024 — 光伏发电站接入电力系统技术规定 (Technical Requirements for Connecting Photovoltaic Power Station to Power System) |
Armenia has a growing distributed-solar market under PSRC-supervised electricity rules, including autonomous-producer and net-metering style arrangements, while larger projects such as Masrik-1 and Ayg-1 show utility-scale solar development. For distributed projects, the inverter compliance package is typically reviewed in the context of the customer's connection capacity, metering arrangement, ENA technical conditions, and safety of parallel operation. Equipment acceptance should therefore be checked at project level, not assumed from a Chinese distributed-PV approval or manufacturer catalogue entry.PSRC electricity-sector rules for autonomous producers and renewable-energy connection arrangements ENA metering and technical connection conditions for distribution-connected generators IEC 62116 and IEC 61727 evidence where required by the project or connection reviewer |
Gap: Armenia distributed-solar eligibility is a PSRC / ENA project and metering question, not a China domestic product-list question. Confirm model documentation, EAC status if in scope, Armenian/Russian/English manuals as requested, grid settings, and installer or customer responsibilities before committing inventory.[INFORMATIONAL] Confirm PSRC autonomous-producer or net-metering rules and ENA connection conditions for each distributed PV project. A Chinese distributed-PV approval or GB/T inverter report is supporting background only and should not be treated as Armenia project eligibility. | Public Services Regulatory Commission of the Republic of Armenia (PSRC)2026-06-14 · unverified |
| Electrical Safety — EAEU TR CU 004/2011, EAC Marking, SARM / IEC 62109 Evidence | China-side evidence often includes GB/T 37408-2021 inverter technical requirements, NB/T 32004, factory safety tests, CNAS laboratory reports, and IEC 62109 reports prepared for export sales. These are useful technical inputs, but a Chinese GB/T certificate or IEC report alone is not an EAEU declaration or certificate and does not by itself authorize EAC marking for Armenia.GB/T 37408-2021 — 光伏并网逆变器技术要求 (Technical Requirements for Photovoltaic Grid-Connected Inverters) NB/T 32004 — 光伏并网逆变器技术规范 (Technical Specification for Photovoltaic Grid-Connected Inverters) IEC 62109-1 / IEC 62109-2 export test evidence where available |
Armenia is an EAEU member, so solar PV inverters placed on the Armenia market may require EAEU conformity assessment and EAC marking when they fall within the scope of TR CU 004/2011 on low-voltage equipment. This is a genuine Armenia market-access pathway and should not be described as inapplicable. In parallel, SARM standards practice and project-owner or grid-connection specifications may require IEC or GOST-family evidence. For inverter safety, IEC 62109-1 and IEC 62109-2 are the key international safety standards for power converters used in photovoltaic systems; project documentation should identify model-family coverage, voltage ratings, environmental ratings, isolation, residual-current behavior, protective earthing, and manual/marking language requirements.TR CU 004/2011 — On safety of low-voltage equipment EAEU EAC conformity marking for products within applicable technical-regulation scope IEC 62109-1 — Safety of power converters for use in photovoltaic power systems — Part 1: General requirements IEC 62109-2 — Safety of power converters for use in photovoltaic power systems — Part 2: Particular requirements for inverters SARM Armenian standards adoption or recognition practice, including IEC/GOST-family standards where applicable |
Gap: the Armenia package must bridge China safety evidence into the EAEU/SARM context. Exporters should confirm TR CU 004/2011 scope, conformity route, applicant responsibility, EAC marking, technical-file language, manuals, nameplate markings, and whether IEC 62109 reports are accepted directly or need review by an EAEU-accredited conformity body. For grid-connected projects, safety evidence should also match ENA or owner technical specifications.[INFORMATIONAL] For Armenia, do not treat EAC as inapplicable: Armenia is an EAEU member, so TR CU 004/2011 and EAC marking can be a market-access gate for in-scope PV inverters. Use IEC 62109-1/-2 and China GB/T evidence as technical inputs, but confirm the EAEU/SARM route and ENA/project safety requirements before shipment. | International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)2026-06-14 · unverified |
