Does SWCC certify wind turbines for electrical safety?

No.  ICC-SWCC is accredited to certify wind turbines to the ACP 101-1, AWEA 9.1 and IEC 61400 standards for structural safety, durability, acoustics and power production.  Electrical safety for distributed wind turbines in North America is addressed in the UL 6142 standard.  Electrical listings may only be provided by Nationally Recognized Test Labs (NRTLs) per OSHA, for accredited standards.  Click here to access the list of NRTLs.  Note that not all NRTLs are accredited to provide listings for all standards.
