DEWI-OCC is entered in the commercial register at Bremen District Court under the name DEWI-OCC Offshore and Certification Centre GmbH (DEWI-OCC) under HRB 35702.

The requirements of ISO 9001 “Quality management systems — Requirements” and DIN EN ISO/IEC 17065 “Conformity assessment – Requirements for bodies certifying products, processes and services” constitute the basis of the quality management system.

DEWI-OCC Offshore Certification Centre GmbH operates the following certification scheme:

Component, Type and Project Certification

The Scheme covers certification of wind turbine related components and wind turbine types or platforms. A wind farm realization including wind turbines, support structures, substations and cabling can be accompanied by a site-specific design assessment or project certification. 

Used methods and procedures represents state of the art of the industry and can cover, upon request, other well-known national or international certification requirements.

Our Type and Component Certification Scheme for Wind Turbines complement the products of the well-known IEC(RE) schemes with certificates along the development stages of wind turbines or wind farms from proof-of-concept to a site-specific certificate.

Composite Material (for the Application in Wind Turbines) Type Approval Scheme

The Scheme covers certification of composite materials intended for use in wind turbines. It is a voluntary Scheme and is highly regarded by various interested parties and sends the signal that an independent third-party has certified the composite material.

Issuance of a Material Type Approval Certificate (MTAC) indicates that a composite material complies with various elements of the Scheme including the applicable technical standards.

The Scheme includes both testing and evaluation of material samples as well as ongoing surveillance of production of such materials.

Grid Code Compliance

Grid Code Compliance Certification covers the evaluation of electrical characteristics of decentralized and centralized power generating units, their components and power generating systems. 

The accredited scope of the Grid Code Compliance Certification Body covers multiple international Grid Codes like NetCode RfG (EU)2016/631, German VDE-AR-N 41xx-series, Spanish NTS, Italian CEI Grid Codes and many more. A Grid Code Compliance Certificate by UL Solutions ensures the quality of the produced electrical power which will be fed into the grid of a distribution of transmission grid operator and ensures the acceptance for connection and operation on power generating unit level like photovoltaic inverter, wind turbine, storage system, CHP or gas turbines as well as on system level like photovoltaic power plants, wind farms or other power plants and hybrid power stations. 

IEC System for Certification to Standards Relating to Equipment for Use in Renewables Energy Applications (IECRE)

The certification under the IECRE System covers component and type certification following the IECRE Operational Document (OD) 501 and site suitability evaluation, project design certification and project certification following the IECRE OD 502. These two main operational documents (OD) are used in connection with supporting sub-ODs, clarification sheets (CSH) and IECRE Rules of Procedures. 

Note: The schemes OD 501 and OD 502 replace the withdrawn IEC 61400-22 certification procedure.

Lifetime Extension

The Scheme covers the lifetime extension certification of wind turbines. The certification will be carried out based on ANSI/ISO UL4143 and covers, upon request, additional requirements from other standards or guidelines (i.e., DIBt 2012, DNV-ST-0263). 

The certification covers the analytical evaluation of the Remaining Useful Lifetime (RUL) assessment, the evaluation of the risk analysis according to the criteria of ANSI/ISO UL4143, and the evaluation of the real condition of the wind turbines by means of on-site inspection and review of operation & maintenance (O&M) concept. A final evaluation report summarizes the outcome of the evaluation, and a Lifetime Extension Certificate (LTEC) can be issued.

Monitoring Systems

The Scheme covers certification of monitoring systems intended for use in wind turbines. A Monitoring System Certificate (MSC) indicates that the evaluated monitoring system complies with various elements of the Scheme, including the applicable technical standards and specific requirements agreed with the customer and documented in the design basis.

The Scheme includes concept and design evaluation as well as a witness audit to proof the performance of the system. The Scheme can cover, upon request, other well-known requirements for condition monitoring.

UL-CCIC Company Limited operates the following certification schemes.

SASO Conformity Assessment Program (SALEEM)

The SASO Conformity Assessment Program is the new Saudi Market Access Program that is set to replace the SASO CoC Program. This new program is also called SALEEM.

SASO has created Technical Regulations and has approved Certification Bodies to conduct based on its ISO/IEC 17065 accreditation, and its geographical location. SASO grouped the shipment origin into 5 regions; Europe, Asia and Australia, Africa, and Middle East. Three UL legal entities (UL LLC, UL International Demko A/S, and UL-CCIC Company Limited) have been granted Conformity Assessment Body Status by SASO.

UL-CCIC Company Limited scope as SASO Notified Body:

• Technical Regulation for Low Voltage Appliances and Equipment
• Technical Regulation for Machinery used in the Food Industry
• Technical Regulation for Portable Machinery and Equipment
• Technical Regulation for Textile
• Technical Regulation for Batteries
• Technical Regulation for Radio and Telecommunication Terminal Equipment
• Technical Regulation for Toys

Products that are tested and proven to conform with the Saudi Technical Regulation are registered in SASO’s online System called Saber, and are issued a Type Approval Certificate, valid for 3 years, by the Conformity Assessment Body. Other Saudi recognized programs such as GSO (G-Mark), SASO IECEE Recognition Certificate (), and SASO Quality Mark (SQM) are pre-requisites, if applicable, to the Type Approval Certificate.

SASO introduced the three product Risk Levels: High, Medium, and Free Trade. High Risk products must have the SASO Quality Mark (SQM). Medium Risk products are covered in the Technical Regulations and must be tested as per SASO approved standard referenced in the Technical Regulations. Free Trade products only require Self-Declaration of Conformity from the manufacturers and Saber registrations are handled directly by SASO.

At the time of shipment, the exporters need to acquire the second Certificate in this program, the Shipment CoC, from the Conformity Assessment Body for Saudi Customs clearance. In addition to the Type Approval certificate of the products in the shipment, the exporter needs to submit the shipping and commercial documents to get the Shipment that is valid for that shipment only.

• Technical Regulation for Machinery Safety.
• Technical Regulation for Telecommunications Devices.
• Technical Regulation for Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS).

Products that are tested and proven to conform with the Saudi Technical Regulation are registered in SASO’s online platform called Saber and are issued a Type Approval Certificate called Product Certificate of Conformity (P-COC), valid for 1 year. Other Saudi recognized programs such as GSO (G-Mark) and SASO Quality Mark (SQM) are pre-requisite certifications when applicable to the P-CoC.  In these cases, the P-CoC is called Equivalent P-CoC and its validity is identical to the pre-requisite.

SASO introduced the three product Risk Levels: High, Medium, and Free Trade. High Risk products must have the SASO Quality Mark (SQM). Medium Risk products are covered in the Technical Regulations and must be tested as per SASO approved standard referenced in the Technical Regulations. Free Trade products only require Self-Declaration of Conformity from the manufacturers and Saber registrations are handled directly by the supplier.

At the time of shipment, the supplier must acquire a Certificate for the shipment under this program, the Shipment CoC, from the Conformity Assessment Body for Saudi Customs clearance. In addition to the Type Approval certificate of the products in the shipment, the exporter needs to submit the shipping and commercial documents to get the Shipment that is valid for that shipment only.

SASO has created Technical Regulations and has approved Certification Bodies to conduct based on its ISO/IEC 17065 accreditation, and its geographical location. SASO grouped the shipment origin into 5 regions; Europe, Asia and Australia, Africa, and Middle East. Three UL legal entities (UL LLC, UL International Demko A/S, and UL-CCIC Company Limited) have been granted Conformity Assessment Body Status by SASO.

UL LLC scope as SASO Notified Body:

• Technical Regulation for Low Voltage Appliances and Equipment
• Technical Regulation for Machinery used in the Food Industry
• Technical Regulation for Portable Machinery and Equipment
• Technical Regulation for Gas Appliances and their Accessories

Products that are tested and proven to conform with the Saudi Technical Regulation are registered in SASO’s online System called Saber, and are issued a Type Approval Certificate, valid for 3 years, by the Conformity Assessment Body. Other Saudi recognized programs such as GSO (G-Mark), SASO IECEE Recognition Certificate (), and SASO Quality Mark (SQM) are pre-requisites, if applicable, to the Type Approval Certificate.

SASO introduced the three product Risk Levels: High, Medium, and Free Trade. High Risk products must have the SASO Quality Mark (SQM). Medium Risk products are covered in the Technical Regulations and must be tested as per SASO approved standard referenced in the Technical Regulations. Free Trade products only require Self-Declaration of Conformity from the manufacturers and Saber registrations are handled directly by SASO.

At the time of shipment, the exporters need to acquire the second Certificate in this program, the Shipment CoC, from the Conformity Assessment Body for Saudi Customs clearance. In addition to the Type Approval certificate of the products in the shipment, the exporter needs to submit the shipping and commercial documents to get the Shipment that is valid for that shipment only.

CB Scheme

The CB Scheme is a vast international arrangement established Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for mutual acceptance of test reports among participating certification organizations in the field of electrical and electronic equipment.

The CB Scheme benefits product manufacturers and distributors engaged in international trade by providing:

• A single point of product testing for efficient global market access
• Global acceptance of test reports leading to national certification in CB Scheme member countries
• Unilateral acceptance of test reports in many developing countries that are not yet participating in the CB Scheme

The CB Scheme is an international network of product certification organizations in more than 50 countries around the world. The IECEE website at http://www.iecee.org/ contains comprehensive information about the CB Scheme.

Each participating country has one or more organizations accepted by the IECEE as National Certification Bodies (NCBs). UL is one of the largest and most active CB Scheme members, and we operate four NCBs in different countries and over 50 CB Testing Laboratories (CBTLs) to provide local service with global coverage for our Customers.

UL NCBs in Denmark, USA, Japan and Canada, with CBTLs in all major regions, can assess your products to a broad range of IEC standards, with any relevant National or Group Differences. The product categories and standards covered by UL in the CB Scheme are listed on the IECEE Website via the following links: UL (Demko), UL (US), UL (JP) and UL (CA).

CB Scheme Process

• UL will test your product to all harmonized standards and to any National Differences required for the countries in which you want to market your product.
• UL will then issue a CB Test Certificate and a CB Test Report that you can use to obtain national certifications in participating countries.
• You must still apply to the NCBs in your target countries for national certifications, or UL can do it for you. Please note that NCBs have the right to request product samples or ask manufacturers to develop additional data. The CB Test Certificate and associated CB Test Report you receive from UL will minimize the need for additional testing.
• National Differences are special requirements that the IECEE CB Scheme permits each country to adopt in order to address local safety concerns. UL keeps up to date with the National Differences of CB Scheme member countries, so your products are evaluated to the most current requirements of the countries you target.
• Additional information can be found on the CB Scheme Web site at http://www.iecee.org/

Applying to UL for CB Scheme Certificate

• Simply contact UL Customer Service via the UL.com website to initiate the process. You’ll be asked to provide UL with:
  • A description of your product, including illustrations, schematics, wiring diagrams, component information, a copy of the marking plate, and any appropriate product details
  • The name and address of the company responsible for the product, as well as the list of manufacturing locations.
• Tell us also about the countries where you intend to sell your products and UL’s Global Market Access experts can make it easy for you to gain the relevant national certifications for your target markets. Contact gma@ul.com for additional information.
• After successful evaluation of the product according to the applicable IEC standard(s) and the National/Group Differences of the countries you choose, a CB Test Certificate and CB Test Report will be issued.

Note that additional information may be requested as part of the application process, e.g. registration.
