DNV GL receives DakkS renewable energy re-accrediaton

DNV GL, a certification body for renewable energy services, has been re-accredited by the German accreditation body Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle GmbH (DAkkS).

This allows DNV GL to conduct conformity assessment of ocean energy converters and related services and technologies, wind turbines and their components, wind farm projects and their assets, small, medium and large wind turbines.

Furthermore, on- and offshore technology, generating units and plants in wind energy, photovoltaic, hydropower and biomass sector can also be assessed by  DNV GL.

Mike Wöbbeking, Head of Certification Body at DNV GL, said: “With this re-accreditation DAkkS has affirmed DNV GL’s expertise as the leading certification body in renewable energy, which demonstrates the continued proof of quality of our certification services.”

Previously, all certificates have been issued in one central location, but the renewed accreditation enables a worldwide setup for the service lines component, type and project certification, according to DNV GL.
