10.3.1 LR’s evaluation for this module as certification body will normally be completed by
reviewing test reports.
10.3.2 Under IEC 61400-22 Wind turbines – Part 22: Conformity testing and
certification, provided that measurements have been carried out by a
laboratory accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 General requirements for the competence of
testing and calibration laboratories, or that the party undertaking the
measurements is accredited to ISO/IEC 17020 Conformity assessment. Requirements
for the operation of various types of bodies performing inspection, LR does
not need to witness the testing. If this is not the case, LR will confirm that the
testing has been undertaken in accordance with the requirements of these standards.
This can be achieved by review of the organisation’s facilities and quality system,
review of the test procedure, witnessing the testing or reviewing the test report,
or a combination thereof as considered relevant by LR and with the agreement of the
client/applicant.
10.3.3 Under the IECRE OD-502 Project Certification Scheme for
well-established project characteristic measurements, the party undertaking the
measurements should be an IECRE accredited RETL or an RECTF for the subject test
scope. If the project characteristic measurements are not well-established (i.e.
there is no IECRE accredited RETL or an RECTF for the subject test scope), then the
measurements can be carried out by an approved certification body for the subject
test scope.
10.3.4 The conformity statement for this module simply confirms that the
testing has been completed in accordance with the appropriate procedures, including
IEC standards as applicable, and not that a particular level of performance has been
achieved. For the acoustic noise emissions, the conformity statement will
additionally confirm that the compliance criteria, as stated in the test procedure
(whether as per the IEC 61400 standard series or some other agreed criteria), has
been achieved.
