1.
To prepare standards for systems of photovoltaic conversion of solar energy into
electrical energy and for all the elements in the entire photovoltaic energy system. In
this context, the concept "photovoltaic energy system" includes the entire field from
light input to a photovoltaic cell to and including the interface with the electrical
system(s) to which energy is supplied.
2.
To prepare international standards in the field of solar thermal electric plants at system
and component levels, including measurement standards for performance tests.
3.
To prepare standards for wind turbines that convert wind energy into electrical energy.
These standards address design requirements, engineering integrity, measurement
techniques and test procedures. Their purpose is to provide a basis for design, quality
assurance and certification. The standards are concerned with all subsystems of wind
turbines, such as mechanical and internal electrical systems, support structures and
control and protection systems.
4.
To prepare international standards regarding fuel cell (FC) technologies for all FC
applications such as stationary FC power systems, FC for transportation such as
propulsion systems and auxiliary power units, portable FC power systems, and micro
FC power systems

RE: REPRESENTATION IN THE Solar and Wind Technical Sub-Committee
The Kenya Bureau of Standards is developing standards in the SOLAR AND WIND
TECHNOLOGIES. We are therefore constituting a Solar and Wind Technical Sub-Committee to
develop standards in this sector and we believe your expertise will add immense value to the
process.
The following are the principal responsibilities of the Technical Committee representative:
(i)
Collection and analysis of technical information for the drafting of the relevant standard,
(ii)
Attending and actively participating in Committee meetings,
(iii) Commenting on Public Review Drafts and balloting on Draft Kenya Standards,
(iv) Keeping their respective organizations/institutions well informed about current standards
development projects and expressing their organization’s views,
(v)
Participating in international standardization work by attending international meetings,
commenting and voting on international draft standards.
Members of Technical committees have access to privileged information, and are expected to
respect the confidentiality of this information, and to restrict the sharing of internal discussions and
working documents, except for that which is necessary to the development of the publication
concerned and to obtaining consensus on the content.
The constitution of the Technical Committees shall be reviewed every three years. The absence of
any member in two consecutive meetings will automatically disqualify him/her membership.
Kindly nominate/reappoint your representative in the Committee and urgently forward the name of
your choice to us.
The Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) is a member of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC), The African Regional Organization for Standardization (ARSO),
Associate Member of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), Associate Member of Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) and International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML)
Enclosed herewith, please find nomination form for you to complete and return to Kenya Bureau of
Standards not later than 30th March 2012 for the attention of REUBEN GISORE.
Yours faithfully,
REUBEN GISORE
TC Secretary, Renewable Energy and Energy Management
