Bureau Veritas Certification France has released a comprehensive Guide on Offshore Wind Farm Project Certification, which allows industry players and experts to make sense of the complex rules applying to certification processes in the field of offshore wind farms. Bureau Veritas is attending the EWEA trade show from 4 to 7 February 2013 in Vienna (Austria). This exhibition will give visitors the opportunity to know more about a major Testing Inspection & Certification (TIC) player for the wind industry.

Bureau Veritas’ services and expertise in wind energy can help companies better plan their projects, avoiding unwelcome risks and maximizing returns. Bureau Veritas offers a wide range of key services in the wind-energy sector, from energy-yield prediction to the optimization of the wind-farm lay-out, while covering certification issues.

Specifically, the Guide on Offshore Wind Farm Project Certification issued by Bureau Veritas Certification France spells out the mandatory requirements and steps to follow in order to obtain certification.

Offshore wind-farm projects pose a number of challenges. Installations are complex and each site is different. Certification by an internationally recognized body ensures each project meets all the regulatory requirements.

“Whether your company is a wind-farm operator, developer or wind-turbine manufacturer, Bureau Veritas offers a wide range of customized services,” explains Philippe Lanternier, Bureau Veritas Industry & Facilities Division EVP.

The Guide on Offshore Wind Farm Project Certification includes information on a range of topics, including normative and informative references; the project-certification process; the approach to certification; site conditions and design evaluations; transportation and installation surveillance; and, finally, the measurement of project characteristics.
