Project Certification according to IEC 61400. The purpose of project certification is to evaluate whether typecertified wind turbines and particular support structure/foundation(s) designs are in conformity with the external conditions, applicable construction and electrical codes and other requirements relevant to a specific site. [ ] The certification body shall evaluate whether the wind conditions, other environmental conditions, electrical network conditions and soil properties at the site conform with those defined in the design documentation for the wind turbine type and foundation(s). The evaluation includes safety and quality. Offshore Certification with TÜV Rheinland February 2013. 10
