How does SWCC certification get started?
The SWCC offers the service of independent, third-party verification that a small wind turbine meets the requirements of AWEA 9.1 – 2009 Small Wind Turbine Performance and Safety Standard. Applying for certification begins with a submission of a Notice of Intent to Submit an Application where the details of the wind turbine and proposed test plans are presented. Applicants may apply for SWCC certification after the turbine has been tested and evaluated per the AWEA standard and reporting is complete.
