Intertek Group plc (Intertek), a total quality assurance provider to industries worldwide, has acquired the assets of a state-of-the-art solar PV laboratory in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, from Mitsui Chemicals India, a leading global chemical manufacturer.
With the Government of India committing to a target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel power capacity by 2030 – including 280 GW of solar – demand for trusted, independent Quality Assurance solutions is set to rise sharply.
This new Intertek solar PV lab will provide comprehensive ISO 17025 accredited testing services for solar PV installations, materials and components, offering BIS and IECEE CB Scheme accreditations. Its services will support Indian solar PV manufacturers and international companies looking to enter the country by driving efficiencies through harmonised testing and faster, more reliable global market access.
“The acquisition of these assets is highly complementary to Intertek’s Risk-based Quality Assurance offering for the solar PV industry, expanding its growing footprint in the Western India corridor and reinforcing its leadership in renewable energy assurance,” stated Intertek. “The new capability builds on Intertek CEA’s world-leading end-to-end solutions for the solar industry, including aerial drone inspections and solar plant inspections for manufacturers, developers and other market stakeholders.”
