Certification Services for the Renewable Energy Industry

Building trust

Based on our independent approach and proven technical expertise, we help to qualify new technologies and build trust between stakeholders. Our independent certificate is accepted and renowned around the world and helps to demonstrate the value of investment based on the recognized quality and long-term performance of our customers' products.

When every megawatt counts, we create ultimate certainty

Stakeholders select equipment that is proven to operate as it was designed, tested and manufactured. It is crucial that wind turbine or solar inverter manufacturers give their customers maximum assurance that their designs are up to specification.

Additionally, companies want assurances that site specific wind, wave & tidal or solar projects are reliable, safe and commercially profitable, with all risks mitigated. This is particularly invaluable for pioneering new projects which are pushing the boundaries of technical and engineering knowledge and capabilities – and which require reliable operation and risk management at all times. An independent third party certificate is crucial to demonstrate the quality and long-term performance of the product or project.

Our goal is to build trust between our customer and their stakeholders by qualifying their new technologies, based on our independent flexible certification approach and proven technical expertise.

Moving the renewable energy industry forward

We are at the cutting edge of establishing industry defining projects and technologies. We have worked with our customers and assisted the evolution of technology from the very beginning. – But most notably, we write and define new standards rather than just following them – having published more than 40 service documents (service specifications, standards and recommended practices) which cover offshore wind, floating offshore wind, onshore wind, wave & tidal and solar.

We help you to better understand and manage risks and make sound, informed decisions based on facts.

We are able to do this through:

• More than 40 years’ experience in wind energy.
• Our involvement in 75% of all offshore wind farms as a certification body
• Providing the largest global certification workforce.
• Being close to our customers with local presence in growing and emerging offshore wind markets like the US, Taiwan, Japan, Korea and China.
• Customer expertise - research and innovation projects ensuring today’s standards are ready for tomorrow’s challenges including emerging technologies like floating wind and extreme weather conditions.
• Our technological knowledge - we certify the world's largest wind turbines including the latest 12 MW+ turbines.
• Our certification services, spanning across the entire project lifecycle: from conceptual design to lifetime extension and beyond, supporting you throughout your project development phases
