M/087 - Wind Turbines
Standardization in the field of wind turbines
Mandate M/087 directs the development of standardization in the field of wind turbines. It focuses on creating harmonized standards to support the design, performance, safety, and environmental aspects of wind turbines. These standards aim to facilitate market development, ensure reliability and interoperability, and promote sustainable energy production across the European Union. The mandate assigns the responsibility for drafting and maintaining relevant technical standards to the European standardization organizations, fostering innovation and regulatory compliance within the wind energy sector.
Purpose
The mandate M/087 focuses on standardisation in the field of wind turbines. It aims to establish common European standards to support the design, manufacturing, installation, and maintenance of wind turbines. This is intended to ensure safety, reliability, and interoperability of wind turbine technologies across EU member states.
Standardisation request
The request calls for the development of harmonized standards covering various aspects of wind turbines. These may include technical specifications, performance criteria, quality assurance, testing methods, and safety requirements relevant to wind turbine components and systems. The goal is to facilitate market access and encourage innovation in the wind energy sector by providing clear and consistent standards.
Expected deliverables
The deliverables under this mandate are likely to be a set of European Standards (ENs) for wind turbines that address their entire lifecycle, from manufacturing to operation and maintenance. These standards will help manufacturers comply with EU legislation and support certification processes. They may also contribute to the implementation of EU energy and environmental policies by promoting sustainable and efficient wind energy solutions.
Context
Wind energy is a key component of the European Union’s strategy to transition to renewable energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Standardisation in this field helps harmonize technical requirements across the EU, reducing trade barriers and fostering innovation. The mandate M/087 aligns with broader EU objectives related to energy security, sustainability, and competitive energy markets.
The mandate covers standardisation work related to wind turbines, focusing on the development of standards for their design, safety, performance, testing, and environmental impact. It addresses aspects relevant to manufacturers, operators, and other stakeholders in the wind energy sector to support the harmonisation and advancement of wind turbine technology within the European Union.

Frequently Asked Questions
A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.
M/087 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "Standardization in the field of wind turbines". Standardization in the field of wind turbines There are 0 standards developed under this mandate.
Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
