IEC 61400 is a class of IEC international standards regarding wind turbines.
Purpose and function
The 61400 is a set of design requirements made to ensure that wind turbines are appropriately engineered against damage from hazards within the planned lifetime. The standard concerns most aspects of the turbine life from site conditions before construction, to turbine components being tested,[1] assembled and operated.[2]
Wind turbines are capital intensive, and are usually purchased before they are being erected and commissioned.
Some of these standards provide technical conditions verifiable by an independant, third party, and as such are nescessary in order to make business agreements so wind turbines can be financed and erected.[1][3]
IEC started standardizing international certification on the subject in 1995, and the first standard appeared in 2001.[1]
The common set of standards sometimes replace the various different national standards, forming a basis for global certification.[1]
