Certification to ensure compliance

Lloyds Register (LR) provides an impartial and expert eye during  certification services to ensure compliance with the applicable requirements and to provide the required assurance and risk mitigation for a successful project.

LR’s specialist engineers review documentation against codes and standards and provide a detailed explanation of the findings.  Reviews are undertaken in conformity with IEC/EN 61400-22 requirements.

The LR review aims to provide confidence that the wind turbine support structures and substation platform conform with the applicable governing international codes and standards, and industry best practice, and also to provide assurance that project risks have been mitigated through certification process. At the successful completion of the certification process, LR issues an Evaluation Report and Conformity Statement for each IEC/EN 61400-22 module completed.

Outcomes

LR is using its specialist team, primarily based in Aberdeen, Scotland, to support the Inch Cape project. The organisation continues to provide offshore wind farm project certification projects across the world with many different clients, and each project undertaken builds on its expertise and knowledge, to the benefit of the wider offshore wind sector.

Neil Morgan, LR Engineering Manager said:

 “LR is extremely proud to be working alongside Inch Cape on this flagship North Sea development. LR has been working with Inch Cape since 2018, adding value to the project through our certification services and we look forward to continuing our support to the project’s successful conclusion.”
