Compliance Gap Matrix

Gap matrix
Compliance item Common China baseline Côte d'Ivoire (CODINORM / CIE / ANARE) Gap / action Source + verification date
China GB/T Baseline Versus Côte d'Ivoire Acceptance The common China baseline for grid PV dossiers includes GB/T 37408-2019 for grid-connected PV inverter technical requirements and GB/T 19964-2024 for PV power-station access to the power system. Public standard-index searches identify GB/T 19964-2024 as replacing GB/T 19964-2012, so it should be treated as the current China baseline. These are useful comparison standards but remain China-market references.GB/T 37408-2019
GB/T 19964-2024		 Côte d'Ivoire acceptance should be assessed against local standards, project documents, utility requirements, and international standards requested by the buyer or authority. China GB/T documents can help explain the technical design but are not by themselves a Côte d'Ivoire approval route.CODINORM applicable standards and mandatory list
CIE / CI-ENERGIES / ANARE project acceptance requirements
IEC 62109-1
IEC 62109-2		 Map each China GB/T test item to the Côte d'Ivoire requested evidence: safety, EMC, power quality, anti-islanding, protection settings, frequency response, documentation language, and commissioning evidence. Identify items that require IEC, utility, or local confirmation.[INFORMATIONAL] Use China GB/T reports as a mapping input, not as the final Côte d'Ivoire compliance answer.

CODINORM Standards and Mandatory-Scope Check China GB/T and CCC-style assumptions do not automatically map to CODINORM. A China test report may be useful only after the Côte d'Ivoire applicable standard, mandatory status, and acceptance route have been checked.GB/T 37408-2019
GB/T 19964-2024		 CODINORM is Côte d'Ivoire's national standardization and certification body and publishes access points for standards, regulation, certified products, and standards made mandatory. For PV inverters, exporters should verify whether any current CODINORM mandatory standard, conformity mark, import attestation, or project-specific national standard applies before shipment.Loi N° 2013-866 relative à la normalisation et à la promotion de la qualité
Décret N° 2016-1152 rendant certaines normes d'application obligatoire
CODINORM Accès aux Normes / Accès à la Réglementation		 The gap is a status check, not just a test gap. Confirm whether the product is in a mandatory CODINORM category, whether a national mark or attestation is needed, and whether the project owner accepts IEC reports directly or requires local standard references.[INFORMATIONAL] Confirm CODINORM mandatory scope before quoting a Côte d'Ivoire approval requirement; absent a listed compulsory standard, IEC evidence may still be required by the buyer, utility, lender, or tender. CODINORM2026-06-14 · unverified
French Documentation, Labelling, and Project File Chinese export files often include Chinese and English datasheets, factory test reports, and GB/T references. These should be supplemented with French documents, target-market ratings, importer identity where required, and project-specific commissioning records.GB/T 37408-2019
GB/T 19964-2024
Factory test report and export technical file		 Côte d'Ivoire is a French-language market, and CODINORM, utility, tender, installer, or customs review may require French product identification, installation instructions, warnings, certificates, and project documentation. The inverter file should connect the exact model number to safety evidence, grid settings, warranty, and after-sales support.CODINORM standards and regulation access
Project owner / tender documentation requirements
CIE / utility commissioning documentation requirements		 Close the documentation gap with a French installation and safety manual, nameplate and packaging review, certificate-to-model traceability, grid profile record, spare-parts and warranty statement, importer / installer contacts, and commissioning checklist.[INFORMATIONAL] A technically compliant inverter can still fail review if model identity, French instructions, grid settings, and commissioning records are not traceable. CODINORM2026-06-14 · unverified
50 Hz Grid Configuration Chinese PV inverters are commonly capable of 50 Hz operation because China also uses a 50 Hz grid, but default China protection curves and utility profiles should not be copied into a Côte d'Ivoire project without approval.GB/T 19964-2024
GB/T 37408-2019		 Côte d'Ivoire grid projects should be configured for the local 50 Hz AC system and the voltage, frequency, protection, and power-quality limits accepted by the utility or project authority. The exact trip windows and ride-through behavior should come from the CIE / project interconnection study rather than from a generic export setting.CIE / project interconnection settings
CI-ENERGIES system-study and grid reliability expectations
50 Hz local grid configuration		 The practical gap is settings control. Exporters should lock the correct country profile, document editable parameters, record firmware and grid-code profile versions, and provide commissioning evidence showing the approved 50 Hz and protection settings were applied.[INFORMATIONAL] 50 Hz capability is necessary but not sufficient. The accepted Côte d'Ivoire grid profile and protection settings should be documented for each project. Compagnie Ivoirienne d'Electricité (CIE)2026-06-14 · unverified
CIE / CI-ENERGIES / ANARE Grid-Connection Review China grid files commonly reference GB/T 19964-2024 and domestic interconnection tests. These help describe capabilities such as voltage and frequency response, protection, power quality, and fault ride-through, but Côte d'Ivoire utility approval is project-specific.GB/T 19964-2024
GB/T 37408-2019		 Grid-connected PV projects in Côte d'Ivoire should be treated as project approvals involving the electricity-sector institutions and the utility route. CI-ENERGIES describes production-transport planning, grid reliability, renewable-energy integration, and system studies; CIE and ANARE-related approvals or contract conditions may set inverter settings, protection, metering, studies, and commissioning evidence. A CIE low-voltage connection limit of 250 kVA per inverter is reported in market guidance but was not independently located in public web search, so it should be confirmed with CIE in the project connection file before design freeze.Côte d'Ivoire electricity-sector project approval and concession / contract conditions

ANARE electricity-sector regulatory oversight		 Prepare a Côte d'Ivoire-specific grid pack: single-line diagram, inverter protection settings, anti-islanding behavior, power-quality data, 50 Hz configuration, transformer and protection interface, metering plan, commissioning procedure, and any utility-requested simulations or studies.[INFORMATIONAL] A product certificate is not enough for a Côte d'Ivoire grid project. Treat the inverter as part of a site-specific CIE / CI-ENERGIES / ANARE interconnection review. CI-ENERGIES2026-06-14 · unverified
PV Inverter Product Safety Evidence China dossiers often include domestic PV inverter test reports and GB/T evidence. These can support technical review, but Côte d'Ivoire purchasers or authorities may still request IEC 62109 reports, certificates, or local standard references.GB/T 37408-2019
GB/T 19964-2024
IEC 62109-1 / IEC 62109-2 test evidence when available		 Côte d'Ivoire projects and buyers commonly need model-level safety evidence for PV power converters. IEC 62109-1 and IEC 62109-2 are the internationally recognized safety baseline for power converters used in photovoltaic power systems, and CODINORM's standards portal is the local route to confirm whether an adopted national version or purchaser-specified standard applies.IEC 62109-1
IEC 62109-2
CODINORM catalogue / standards access for applicable national adoptions		 Do not assume a China GB/T report closes the Côte d'Ivoire safety file. Prepare traceable IEC 62109-1 and IEC 62109-2 reports or CB certificates, model identity mapping, critical components list, firmware version, installation manual, and French documentation where requested.[INFORMATIONAL] Treat IEC 62109 safety evidence as the core technical file for Côte d'Ivoire PV inverter review, but confirm local adoption and mandatory status with CODINORM or the project authority.
