Small Wind Certification

Classification: Community Services & Public Utilities (independent certification)

Certification of small wind turbines involves three distinct steps: establishing hardware performance standards, conducting tests, and operating an independent certification body. All parts are necessary to implement certification. However, SWCC only conducts the third step. The SWCC is an independent certification body created to serve the North American market. SWCC issues certified turbines easy-to-understand labels for Rated Annual Energy Output, Rated Power, and Rated Sound Level. The label also confirms that the turbine meets durability and safety requirements. As turbines are certified, SWCC publishes Power Curves, Annual Energy Performance Curves and measured sound pressure levels for each model certified.

Both our classic and our sparkly frames compliment most face shapes, and come in two widths. Small is designed to fit 3- to 5-year-olds, while large will fit most 5- to 7-year-olds. Our frames also come in three temple arm lengths. The temple arm length is the measurement, in millimeters, from the front of the frame to the tip of the temple along the length of the entire temple arm. You want the the temple arm to be long enough so the glasses don't perch at an angle above the ear. Most young children wear a temple length of 125. Each order includes a copy of our book "Princesses Wear Glasses." Once you receive the frames, take them to your optical provider, who will make sure they fit properly and add your child's prescription lenses.
