This explorative poster presentation examines the role of quality infrastructure (QI) for the wind energy sector in Germany. We interviewed different stakeholders groups - from certification and accreditation bodies to insurance providers and wind energy producers - in order to gain an understanding on how different QI components contribute to the collaboration of the different stakeholder groups. We differentiate between mandatory and voluntary measures. Mandatory laws, according to our interviewees, contribute to the stability of power grids or safety of turbines. Voluntary measures are used to promote confidence among different project participants. Voluntary certifications are also signaling instruments, which help suppliers to enter projects. Accredited services are preferred vis-à-vis non-accredited services. Certifications of entire projects are rather used for non-standard large scale offshore projects. Stakeholders of the wind energy sectors are content with the QI in Germany but also suggest improvements, in particular for mutual acceptance of voluntary test procedures and results.
