St IECRE OD-551-14-2019 — IECRE Operational Document OD‑551‑14 (2019). This document is published under the IECRE system and provides operational rules and requirements associated with the IECRE Test Laboratories / RETL competence area identified within the REMC/SG‑551 remit. It is distributed in electronic (PDF) format as a 2019 operational document.

Abstract

OD‑551‑14:2019 is an Operational Document issued within the IECRE conformity assessment system (the IEC System for Certification to Standards Relating to Equipment for Use in Renewable Energy Applications). The document defines procedural and technical provisions used by IECRE stakeholders (test laboratories, certification bodies and assessors) to ensure consistent application of IECRE rules in the relevant competence area. It complements the System Basic Rules and other OD series documents covering certification and project assessment.

Scope

This Operational Document sets out procedural and/or technical requirements to be used within the IECRE system for the specific competence area managed by REMC/SG‑551 (test laboratories). Typical scope elements include: definitions of responsibilities for participating test laboratories, requirements for proficiency testing and inter‑laboratory comparison, reporting and record-keeping rules, and the interface between test laboratories and IECRE certification/assessment processes. The document is intended to ensure harmonised application of IECRE rules across RETL/test laboratory approvals.

Key topics and requirements

• Operational rules for test laboratory participation in IECRE (roles, responsibilities, and conformity assessment interfaces).
• Requirements for proficiency testing, inter-laboratory comparisons and evidence of technical competence in the relevant test domains.
• Documentation and reporting requirements for test results used in IECRE conformity assessments.
• Procedures for assessors and peer reviews related to test laboratory accreditation under IECRE rules.
• Interaction and alignment with other IECRE OD documents that govern certification, project assessment and system basic rules.

Typical use and users

Primary users are IECRE‑affiliated stakeholders: test laboratories seeking RETL recognition, IECRE assessors and peer reviewers, certification bodies and inspection bodies that rely on laboratory test data, and manufacturers and project developers who submit test reports as part of IECRE conformity assessment processes. Regulatory or procurement bodies referencing IECRE conformity evidence may also consult this OD for procedural clarity.

Related standards

IECRE OD‑551‑14:2019 is part of the IECRE Operational Document family and is used alongside: IECRE System Basic Rules (IECRE 01), other OD series documents such as OD‑502 (project certification rules) and technical IEC/TC standards applicable to the specific renewable technology (for example IEC TC‑88 wind standards or IEC TS/62600 marine energy technical documents). These documents together govern how test data and conformity assessments are performed and recognized under IECRE.
