.

Geneva/Varel (renewablepress) - Deutsche WindGuard Consulting and Deutsche WindGuard Wind Tunnel Services have been approved as testing laboratories for the power performance and anemometer calibration competence areas within the IECRE scheme. WindGuard, one of the leading independent measuring institutes for the wind industry, is one of the first test labs to have successfully finished the approval process. The certificate provides customers with measurement reports and calibration certificates according to IEC 61400-12-1, which are globally accepted by all manufacturers and member bodies.

The “IEC System for Certification to Standards Relating to Equipment for Use in Renewable Energy Applications (IECRE System)” was launched by the International Electrotechnical Commission to facilitate international trade in equipment and services for use in renewable energy sectors.

“The goal of IECRE is to harmonize the application of technical standards in the industry and operate a single, global certification system for renewables, including wind”, explains Axel Albers, CEO of Deutsche WindGuard Consulting. “In the past, the technical committee 88 of the IEC has done groundbreaking standardization work for the wind industry.” – “We as WindGuard have actively accompanied these standardization developments from the very beginning”, adds Dieter Westermann, CEO of Deutsche WindGuard Wind Tunnel Services, “It was therefore only natural that we would be early adopters when IECRE launched the scheme for confirming test labs´ conformity to IEC 61400-12-1.”
