The Central Association of German Electrical and Information Technology Hands (ZVEH) and the Central Association of the German Roofing Handels (ZVDH) have signed an agreement on the Installation of photovoltaic systems on roofs together with the Energie Textil Energie Textil Elektro Elektro Elektro Elektro Elektro Elektro Elektro. The signing took place on March 7, 2024 as part of a live transmission between the Messen Dach + Holz in Stuttgart and Light + Building in Frankfurt.

The agreement was launched to maximize the security in the assembly of photovoltaic systems and to protect roofing operations from electrical dangers in particular. The scope of the agreement includes the requirements for companies of both associations. E-trade has developed a process for cooperation with roofer companies based on the proven security standard. The work under the direction of electrical engineering people is introduced and contractually secured by electrical specialists at the roofer companies. At the same time, safety requirements for entering roofs are defined by e-trade companies.

The agreement also contains clear rules for fall protection, since crash accidents cause the most common serious injuries to e-crafters when installing PV systems. Work and protective scaffolding are required as fall protection, and the work instructions for using the scaffolding must be observed.

The agreement includes a sample work instruction for the use of work and protection scaffolding as well as training requirements for electrical engineering persons (EUP) for PV systems. Participation in this training is a prerequisite for electrical engineering work for roofers in accordance with the agreement.

This agreement comes into force on April 1, 2024 and represents a milestone for the safety and quality in the installation of photovoltaic systems. It underlines the joint commitment of the associations and professional associations for the highest standards in the industry
