Wind energy generation systems - Part 5: Wind turbine blades

IEC 61400-5:2020 specifies requirements to ensure the engineering integrity of wind turbine blades as well as an appropriate level of operational safety throughout the design lifetime. It includes requirements for: - aerodynamic and structural design, - material selection, evaluation and testing, - manufacture (including associated quality management), - transportation, installation, operation and maintenance of the blades. The purpose of this document is to provide a technical reference for designers, manufacturers, purchasers, operators, third party organizations and material suppliers, as well as to define requirements for certification.
