This publication defines a certification system for wind turbines (IEC WT). It specifies rules for procedures and management to carry out conformity evaluation of WTs, with respect to specific standards and other technical requirements, relating to safety, reliability, performance, testing and interaction with electrical power networks. It provides: · definitions of the elements in a wind turbine certification process; · procedures for the conformity evaluation in a wind turbine certification system; · procedures for conformity surveillance; · rules for the documentation that is to be supplied by an Applicant for the conformity evaluation; and · requirements for certification and inspection bodies and testing laboratories.The standard is not limited to WTs of any particular size or type. It describes procedures relating to design, manufacture, erection and installation, operation and maintenance, and decommissioning. The procedures deal with the assessment of loads and safety, testing, characteristics measurements and surveillance of manufacturing, installation and operation. Some elements of certification are mandatory, whilst provision is specifically made for others to be optional. The purpose of the standard is to provide a common basis for certification of wind turbines, including a basis for acceptance of operating bodies and mutual recognition of certificates.The standard shall be used in conjunction with the appropriate IEC/ISO standards and Guides, see clause 6.
