Deutsche WindGuard Consulting and Deutsche WindGuard Wind Tunnel Services – part of Deutsche WindGuard GmbH – have been approved as testing laboratories for the power performance and anemometer calibration competence areas within the “IEC System for Certification to Standards Relating to Equipment for Use in Renewable Energy Applications” (IESCRE) System.
Deutsche WindGuard, an independent measuring institute for the wind industry, will be able to provide customers with measurement reports and calibration certificates according to IEC 61400-12-1, says the company, which adds that the 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,” says 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.”
