Application Scope
This International Standard defines
rules and procedures for a
certification system for wind
turbines (WT) that comprises both
type certification and certification of Source: Enercon Source: Vestas
SWT
Source: Enercon Source: Vestas Source: Multibrid
Special rules and procedures apply
for Small Wind Turbines (SWT):
1. Evaluation of test for design data
shall be considered;
2. For rotor blade, evaluation of static
blade test is specified;
3. Duration test is specified in
IEC61400-2.

Design Evaluation 1/2 Design evaluation is regarded as part of type
certification which specifies not only virtual (on
paper or computer) but also whole physical
processes.

Manufacturing Evaluation 1/3
The purpose of manufacturing evaluation is to assess if a specific
wind turbine type is manufactured in conformity with the
documentation design verified during the design evaluation.
This evaluation shall include the following elements:
quality system evaluation; and
manufacturing inspection.

Manufacturing Evaluation 2/3
In manufacturing, due to before-mentioned reasons,
production equipment as well as regularly calibration by
relevant local technical authorities also brings to topic for
quality control in regard of global scale.

Manufacturing Evaluation 3/3
Besides the factors in quality assurance as described
before e.g. 1) material + production process, 2) equipment,
skillful workers as usual, plays a crucial role.

Component Certification
The procedures for component certification
should be in line with the type certification
procedures, specific content of a module
depends on the actual component.

Conclusion
To enhance product quality and stimulate
technology innovation impetus is the
mission of 3rd party certification body for
Wind Energy Industry.
This Value is fulfilled by updated
requirements for 3rd party with begin with Designing
