What should we do if we intend to pursue Certification to IEC Standards, Certification to the BWEA Standard for the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) in the UK, and SWCC Certification?
There are a number of certification bodies that offer Type Certification to the IEC 61400 series of standards for wind turbines. Type Certification is currently performed in accordance with IEC WT 01: IEC System for Conformity Testing and Certification of Wind Turbines. Information on the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) in the UK can be found here. If you are simultaneously pursuing multiple certifications, it is advised that you understand the requirements of your chosen certification bodies prior to commencing turbine testing in order to design the testing in a way that can most efficiently satisfy the various requirements for certification. The SWCC Certification Policy describes our Conditional Temporary Certification. This time-limited Certification may be granted by SWCC where a small wind turbine has been tested and analyzed pursuant to the IEC 61400 series of Standards or the BWEA Standard (which are similar to the AWEA Standard); however, certain requirements of the
