Adding to the governance of the corporation are a variety of standing and ad hoc committees. Committee members are appointed by the Board of Directors and are representatives from the industry sector, state and federal agencies, consumer organizations, and academia. A sampling of these committees and their respective purposes is as follows:
• Standards Committee. Is responsible for the continued maintenance of the operating guidelines, test methods and minimum criteria, and rating methodologies. Serves as the Corporation's liaison to standards writing bodies.
• Technical Compliance Committee. Acts in a technical oversight capacity with respect to the programs in SRCC in order to insure that technical matters addressed in the program have been appropriately resolved. Reviews the technical decisions made by SRCC program administrators to insure the accuracy of the test results and the appropriateness of the assigned ratings.
• Design Review Committee. Reviews applications for certification for compliance with the appropriate requirements.
• Consumer Advisory Committee. Enables the SRCC to more fully serve its consumer constituency by making available the programs to the solar consumer buyer and user in a more direct and understood manner and governs the presentation, interpretation, publication, and use of the performance information.
• Laboratory Accreditation Committee. Oversees the SRCC laboratory accreditation program and insures that accredited test facilities continually meet the criteria for accreditation.
