An Exceptional Opportunity to Explore Standards and Conformity Assessment
How are standards created? How are they used in conformity assessment? Electrical engineering is rapidly transforming energy use and accelerating the transition to clean energy. Standards play a key role in ensuring that clean energy sources are safe and can be integrated into our existing energy system.
In this one-day workshop held in Helsinki during the week after Midsummer, young professionals will explore standards and their connection to conformity assessment. Participants will also have a rare opportunity to observe the IECEE CMC (Certification Management Committee) meeting, where experts evaluate the conformity of electrical products.
