WindGuard Certification has become one of a select number of companies approved to issue type certificates for wind turbines, according to IECRE OD-501.
WindGuard Certification said it is among the only 10 companies worldwide that have been approved to issue IECRE OD-501 (Type and Component Certification Scheme – Wind Turbines).
Certifications under IEC System for Certification to Standards Relating to Equipment for Use in Renewable Energy Applications (IECRE) guarantee customers highest quality and safety standards and international recognition of their products.
“With our many years of experience in type certification according to IEC 61400-22, we were accredited by the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS) for type certification according to IECRE standards already at the beginning of 2020.
“The official IECRE recognition was therefore the logical consequence,” said Lars Weigel, Managing Director of WindGuard Certification.
He added: “We are thus optimally positioned for the future and have further strengthened our international market position.
“The type certificate according to IECRE OD-501 will be a prerequisite for global marketing of wind turbines in the future.
“For clients from India and the Netherlands, for example, our IECRE authorisation was a decisive criterion for selecting us as their certifier.”
