Over the years global development of QPPV requirements have been implemented. We will address multiple regions and countries to identify the different local requirements implemented and how does this affect the PV system. Differences and similarities of the requirements and responsibilities for non-EU QPPV and EU QPPV will be explored including high level consideration of:
- how this will influence or impact the EU QPPV
- Opportunities and Challenges in the oversight
