IRENA

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) is an intergovernmental organisation that supports countries in their transition to a sustainable energy future. In 2013 CWP Ltd was the lead author of the well-received IRENA report entitled International Standardisation in the Field of Renewable Energies, writing the majority of the report for IRENA in this specialist field.  The report provided a summary of international, regional and national standardisation, its links to policy, legislation and regulation and how accreditation/certification supports the new dynamics in regulatory oversight. The report included 13 recommendations which either have been, or are in the process of, being implemented, such as the INSPIRE database of patents and standards, hosted by IRENA and the European Patent Office (EPO).
