What’s CERECertification?

CERE was originally set up as a Certification Entity for

Renewable Energies.

CERE was created to be the access key on the target

countries for Renewable Energies, where certification

of components or full installations certificates were

required.

The company fulfil all the requirements for being a

Testing Laboratory and a Certification Body.

Our services include Testing and Certification according Safety, EMC, Grid Quality, grid connection requirements, design certification and complete installations Certificates.

This process includes Testing and Certification of Components such as PV modules, Wind and PV converters, trackers, transformers, string boxes, combiner boxes, etc.

Also the Certification for full Power Plants according particular country requirements, DSO or TSO specifications.

CERECertification Profile

The Company is managed by Miguel Martínez. Its

team has experience in Certification for more than

10 GW of renewable energy’s components and

installations for worldwide grid integration, design,

safety, EMC and grid quality among others.

During the last 3 years CERE has inspected,

evaluated and certified more than 3GW of PV, Wind

and Hydro, Power plants.

We aim to be your key to the access on the target

countries for the Renewable Energies

In order to be updated with the state of the art of the business, CERE

participates actively in several International Standardization Committees.

• IECRE - renewable energy. IEC system for certification to standards relating to equipment for use in renewable energy applications

• WG 401, Rules of Procedure for PV systemsConvenor

CERE has been participating since the beginning on the IECRE scheme and committees, for the certification of Renewable Energies.

CERE’s AccreditationsThe IEC System for Certification to Standards Relating to Equipment for

Use in Renewable Energy Applications (IECRE System) aims to facilitate

international trade in equipment and services for use in Renewable Energy

Sectors while maintaining the required level of safety.

CERE has been approved by IECRE as Certification

Body (RECB) and Inspection Body (REIB) for PV Power

Plants and for PV modules manufacturing process evaluation.
