Cover of the white paper

The white paper, authored by Intertek’s Global Wind Energy Business Leader Troy Hewitt, addresses key considerations in the testing and certification of wind turbine generators and components to help manufacturers improve their testing experiences and avoid costly and time-consuming process pitfalls that could block their path to market.

A report published by Intertek: Wind Turbine Generator Safety Compliance in the United States and Canada, identifies the most common issues faced by manufacturers of wind turbine generators and components and providing them, as well as customers and investors, with information on how to improve the overall wind turbine, product-safety certification.

The white paper, authored by Intertek’s Global Wind Energy Business Leader Troy Hewitt, addresses key considerations in the testing and certification of wind turbine generators and components to help manufacturers improve their testing experiences and avoid costly and time-consuming process pitfalls that could block their path to market. The paper also contains information on regulatory issues related to WTGs and provides advance planning tactics to reduce the likelihood of an objection by an authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). It also includes best practices to achieve AHJ approval in the event of an AHJ challenge.

The report is said to be useful to manufacturers of wind-turbine generators and components, governmental groups, investors, and other parties interested in the wind industry.
