Hexcel lab approved for wind products

Hexcel has announced that its entire test laboratory in Duxford has been accredited and certified by Germanischer Lloyd for the mechanical and analytical testing of wind energy products.

As part of the accreditation process, Hexcel’s qualification testing facilities were audited for high standards of testing expertise and a professional approach. The GL accreditation allows certification testing to be carried out in-house, avoiding the need to subcontract work to other approved test houses. The laboratory has more than 15 test machines carrying out mechanical testing from 5kN to 600kN and includes two robotic test frames. www.hexcel.com
