a. Standards:
Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is the National Standards Body which issues Indian Standards. A committee viz., Wind Turbine Sectional Committee (ETD 42) has been formulated by BIS for the preparation of Indian standards on wind turbines, under the Chairmanship of Director General, NIWE. NIWE provides the technical support to BIS in all the standards related works including IEC standards / IECRE documents.
b. Prototype Wind Turbines Models:
MNRE has issued guidelines on installation of prototype wind turbine models. NIWE facilitates the grid synchronization of prototype Wind Turbine models to carry out the Type Testing in India for obtaining Type Certificate by implementation of MNRE guidelines.
c. Revised List of Models and Manufacturers of wind turbines (RLMM):
As per MNRE guidelines, RLMM lists are being issued by MNRE periodically, based on the documentation/information provided by various wind turbine manufacturers. NIWE provides the technical support to MNRE in issuing RLMM.
The services offered by NIWE viz., “Provision of type certification, testing resource assessment and inspection services related to wind energy” are already certified as per ISO 9001:2015
