A new test hall sized at impressive 5000 m2 is being established with the purpose of testing blades from the Danish wind turbine giant Vestas Wind Systems A/S. The test hall is located at the port of Aalborg, Denmark, just next to BLAEST’s existing test...
We are proud to announce that BLAEST has become an approved RETL (Renewable EnergyTesting Laboratory) within the IECRE system. This enable us to provide blade testing services according to the IECRE certification scheme and issue IECRE test reports. You can find our certificate here: http://www.iecre.org/members/testlabs/ What is the IECRE certification...
