Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy SystemsThe Fraunhofer IWES aims to meet the requirements of its customers at the highest scientific level. Thanks to its quality, occupational safety, and environmental management standards, the institute is both process oriented and cost-efficient. Furthermore, it is firmly aligned to the needs of both its customers and employees.
Certification and accreditation:
Our quality, occupational safety, and environmental management system is certified in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001, DIN ISO 45001, and DIN EN ISO 14001.
Our rotor blade, material laboratory, and field measurement laboratory areas are accredited in accordance with DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025. We offer accredited testing for the following fields in these laboratory areas:
• Experimental structural testing of rotor blades
• Testing to determine the physical properties of fiber-reinforced plastics and fiber composites by means of mechanical-technological and thermal tests
• Tests on the mechanical loading of wind turbines and measurement of wind turbine performance
Our accredited laboratory has been approved for the testing of rotor blades as per IEC 61400-23 by the IECRE committee.
The IECRE System (IEC System for Certification to Standards Relating to Equipment for Use in Renewable Energy Applications) offers an internationally valid certification system for products and services in the renewable energy sector. With this, we also satisfy the very highest safety requirements at the same time.
