IPE is especially developed for the whole production process of wind turbines. Based on the far reaching experience (also in maritime manufacturing workshops for ships as well as oil and gas) Germanischer Lloyd and therefore GL Renewables Certification, too, are capable to evaluate all relevant manufacturing processes consistently worldwide. GL Renewables Certification satisfies through highly qualified experts in all regions of production, from "A" like assembly to "Z" like zinc-protection.

Only if the whole production of a wind turbine is evaluated by GL Renewables Certification within an IPE certification it is made sure that all manufacturing processes at subsupplier as well as at the wind turbine manufacturer including incoming goods inspection, meet all requirements. As a positive side effect of IPE often room for improvement is detected also in cooperation between sub supplier and wind turbine manufacturer. IPE means therefore to increase the quality process and to minimize costs after implementation of optimisations. (This cost minimisation compensates the expenditures of IPE often very fast.) Additionally it is possible to take IPE selectively for single components (like gear boxes, pitch or yaw drives, transformers, etc).

However for wind turbine manufacturer or sub supplier for components, GL Renewables Certification is able to offer you a custom-made solution, so that your company has the ability to establish at the wind energy market worldwide successfully. As project manager and operator you get certainty that the failures in production will be reduced to a minimum. As wind turbine manufacturer you are showing that your turbines meet the international standards and hence the demands of your customers completely. Moreover you get certainty that also the manufacturing process without direct control meets your high demands.

As sub supplier you show with your individual hallmark that your products do not only meet international standards, but that they also meet the requirements of your customers satisfactorily.This is all real added value for operators, investors and insurances. GL Renewables Certification offers individual solutions for your wind energy project.
