OPIN Webinar: Improving confidence through standardisation and certification

Join this OPIN webinar on 13/10/21 from 3 to 4:15pm CEST about improving confidence of your project’ stakeholders (investors, insurers, etc.) through standardisation and certification.

Standards and associated certification schemes can support the development of Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) technologies, by reducing the risk of failure and increasing stakeholders confidence, in particular investors and insurers.

This webinar will provide an overview of the benefits from standardisation and certification, progress on the codes and standards to date, and lessons learnt from ORE technology developers who went through the certification process.
