The Solar Thermal Test Laboratory of CENER has passed the ENAC audit that accredits it to perform calibrations on pyranometers by comparison with respect to a standard pyranometer according to ISO 9847. Thus, CENER will shortly become the first and only laboratory in Spain to be accredited to perform this calibration.
This type of test will thus complete the current accreditations of the Solar Thermal Test Laboratory of CENER, which already has the accreditations corresponding to solar collector and prefabricated or compact system tests, both in European standards (UNE-EN 12975 and UNE EN 12976) and North American (Standard OG-100).
Once the ENAC accreditation is obtained, the calibration will be performed in test outside the radiometric station of the Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN) that the Solar Thermal Energy Department of CENER has in Sarriguren (Navarra).
