Lloyd's Register (LR) has been accepted as the world's first renewable energy certification body (RECB) for marine energy by the IECRE, the International Electrotechnical Commission's (IEC) system for certification to standards relating to equipment for use in renewable energy applications. The recognition allows LR to certify complex hybrid renewable energy projects on behalf of the IECRE that involve multiple technologies, such as wind, wave and tidal. Through its RECB status, LR can conduct end-to-end certification activities for marine energy converters that seek compliance with the IEC 62600 technical specification and operational documents published by the IECRE. LR can also support marine energy technology developers by providing independent assessment and certification, which uses IEC standards as its basis.
