Certification services

What is the Certification and Inspection Department?

The Certification and Inspection Department has been operating on the Polish energy market since 1969, providing certification services in the area of conformity assessment with normative documents for electrical power products, within the structure of a Certification Body.

There are two Conformity Assessment Bodies in the Team, accredited by the Polish Centre for Accreditation (PCA):

• Certification Body, No. AC 117, since 04.02.2005.
• Inspection Body Type A, No. AK 037, since 17.12.2021.

Both conformity assessment bodies operate as a third party, are impartial and independent from interested parties.

What does the Certification and Inspection Department do?

The Certification and Inspection Department is responsible for conformity assessments in the field of products for electrical power applications. The Certification and Inspection Department conducts conformity assessments in the field of products for use in electrical power engineering, which include products such as: transformers, power cables and wires, insulators, electrical equipment (including: fuses and fuse links), low-voltage and high-voltage switchgear and controlgear, transformers and reactors, equipment for power transmission and distribution networks (including: shielded power cables for overhead lines and their accessories - surge arresters).

Why should you choose our services?

Certificates of Conformity issued by the IPE-NRI Certification Body are widely recognised both in Europe and worldwide thanks to agreements within the international organisations IAF MLA and EA MLA. Thanks to the supervision of representatives of the accredited Inspection Body, tests are recognised as accredited in the conformity assessment processes of products in Europe and worldwide, which is possible thanks to the ILAC MRA and EA MLA agreements on mutual recognition of test results.

Both bodies - certification and inspection - operate according to management systems based on the relevant standards: PN-EN ISO/IEC 17065:2013-03 for product, process and service certification bodies and PN-EN ISO/IEC 17020:2012 for inspection bodies.

Employees of the Team actively participate in the development of standards and standardisation documents through their activities in numerous Technical Committees of the Polish Committee for Standardisation (PKN). In addition, they are involved in the work of the Polish Committee for Large Electric Networks - CIGRE and the Polish Committee for Lightning Protection.
