SHANGHAI, China, Dec. 12, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- JA Solar Holdings Co., Ltd., (Nasdaq:JASO) ("JA Solar" or the "Company"), one of the world's largest manufacturers of high-performance solar cells and solar power products, today announced that it has signed a cooperation agreement with TÜV SÜD, one of the world's leading providers of testing and certification services. Under the terms of the agreement, JA Solar and TÜV SÜD will cooperate on a range of product and system testing and certification initiatives, including the establishment of a TÜV SÜD-accredited testing facility at JA Solar's Fengxian facility in Shanghai. JA Solar is the first Chinese solar company to sign a strategic cooperative agreement with TÜV SÜD.
With TÜV SÜD's support, JA Solar will establish at its Fengxian facility a world-class testing center, which will be qualified to conduct IEC61215/61730 testing.

The TMP qualification will enable the Company to complete its product certification processes more quickly and will lead to improved cost efficiencies.
