DEWI-OCC GmbH is the leading certification body of UL Solutions for renewable international and national certification or permitting procedures, meaning that DEWI-OCC can make use of UL Solutions tools and resources as needed. 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.

Saudi Product Safety Program (SALEEM) Scheme

The SASO Conformity Assessment Program which is also called SALEEM is a Saudi Market Access Program that has replaced the SASO CoC Program.

SASO introduced the three product Risk Levels which are 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.

SASO has created Technical Regulations and has approved Certification Bodies (CB) to conduct based on its ISO/IEC 17065 accreditation scope, and its geographical location. SASO grouped the shipment origin into 5 regions which are Europe, Asia and Australia, Africa, and Middle East where UL Solutions has four legal entities such as UL Middle East LLC FLZ, UL LLC, UL International Italia S.r.l, and UL-CCIC Company Limited are certification bodies for this scheme.

UL-CCIC Company Limited has been granted Conformity Assessment Body (CAB) status by SASO with the scope of Saudi Technical Regulations that are defined in the Saber website.

Products that are tested and proven to conform with the Saudi Technical Regulation requirements are registered in SASO’s online System called Saber, and are issued a certificate of conformity PCoC, valid for one year, 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.

Key highlights of SALEEM includes:

• The application is created by the Saudi importer through his account on saber platform.
• Product technical documents such as (test report, product label, product manual and other requirements as per the regulation requirements) UL Solutions SALEEM CB will review the technical files then take the decision.
• Testing shall be performed by 3rd party testing laboratory or manufacturer’s in-house testing laboratory holding valid accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025 issued by an ILAC Signatory Accreditation Body.

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 PCoC 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.

Saudi Product Safety Program (SALEEM) Scheme

The SASO Conformity Assessment Program which is also called SALEEM is a Saudi Market Access Program that has replaced the SASO CoC Program.

SASO introduced the three product Risk Levels which are 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.

SASO has created Technical Regulations and has approved Certification Bodies (CB) to conduct based on its ISO/IEC 17065 accreditation scope, and its geographical location. SASO grouped the shipment origin into 5 regions which are Europe, Asia and Australia, Africa, and Middle East where UL Solutions has four legal entities such as UL Middle East LLC FLZ, UL LLC, UL International Italia S.r.l, and UL-CCIC Company Limited are certification bodies for this scheme.

UL International Italia S.r.l has been granted Conformity Assessment Body (CAB) status by SASO with the scope of Saudi Technical Regulations that are defined in the Saber website.

Products that are tested and proven to conform with the Saudi Technical Regulation requirements are registered in SASO’s online System called Saber, and are issued a certificate of conformity PCoC, valid for one year, 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.

Key highlights of SALEEM includes:

• The application is created by the Saudi importer through his account on saber platform.
• Product technical documents such as (test report, product label, product manual and other requirements as per the regulation requirements) UL Solutions SALEEM CB will review the technical files then take the decision.
• Testing shall be performed by 3rd party testing laboratory or manufacturer’s in-house testing laboratory holding valid accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025 issued by an ILAC Signatory Accreditation Body.

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 PCoC 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.

Saudi Product Safety Program (SALEEM) Scheme

The SASO Conformity Assessment Program which is also called SALEEM is a Saudi Market Access Program that has replaced the SASO CoC Program.

SASO introduced the three product Risk Levels which are 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.

SASO has created Technical Regulations and has approved Certification Bodies (CB) to conduct based on its ISO/IEC 17065 accreditation scope, and its geographical location. SASO grouped the shipment origin into 5 regions which are Europe, Asia and Australia, Africa, and Middle East where UL Solutions has four legal entities such as UL Middle East LLC FLZ, UL LLC, UL International Italia S.r.l, and UL-CCIC Company Limited are certification bodies for this scheme.

UL LLC has been granted Conformity Assessment Body (CAB) status by SASO with the scope of Saudi Technical Regulations that are defined in the Saber website.

Products that are tested and proven to conform with the Saudi Technical Regulation requirements are registered in SASO’s online System called Saber, and are issued a certificate of conformity PCoC, valid for one year, 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.

Key highlights of SALEEM includes:

• The application is created by the Saudi importer through his account on saber platform.
• Product technical documents such as (test report, product label, product manual and other requirements as per the regulation requirements) UL Solutions SALEEM CB will review the technical files then take the decision.
• Testing shall be performed by 3rd party testing laboratory or manufacturer’s in-house testing laboratory holding valid accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025 issued by an ILAC Signatory Accreditation Body.

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 PCoC 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:

ULC Mark Safety Scheme

This scheme may also be referred to in some historical texts as the ULC Mark Program. In this scheme, tangible products are certified to requirements for safety that are associated with fire, shock and casualty hazards, and that are consistent with technical and legal requirements of the Canadian market.

Samples of products are tested, inspected, examined and otherwise evaluated to gather information that demonstrates the product fulfills applicable requirements. For products intended for use in the Canadian market, the evaluation includes assessment of dual language safety labeling. Fulfillment of all applicable requirements must be demonstrated before authorization is granted to apply a certification mark used in this scheme.

Visits to factories that apply marks to products certified in this scheme are completed periodically to verify product and production characteristics as an assurance the original demonstration of fulfillment of requirements continues to be valid. For some products, factory samples are selected for retesting.

Changes to certified products are considered and, if needed, additional tests, inspections, examinations or other evaluations are completed to demonstrate a product continues to fulfill requirements and authorization to apply a mark can continue.

Unresolved noncompliances with requirements result in termination of authorization to apply the mark. Use of the mark can also be terminated voluntarily. The use of the markings shown and explained below is authorized and controlled by Underwriters Laboratories of Canada, Inc. a product has been certified using the ULC Mark Safety Scheme. A directory of certified products is available online via the the Product iQ database. Only products bearing the mark are certified.

The authorized Marks are shown below.
