About the Small Wind Certification Council
  The Small Wind Certification Council (SWCC), an independent certification body, certifies that small wind turbines meet or exceed the requirements of the AWEA Small Wind Turbine Performance and Safety Standard. This certification provides a common North American standard for reporting turbine energy and sound performance, and help small wind technology gain mainstream acceptance.

SWCC issues certified turbines easy-to-understand labels for Rated Annual Energy Output, Rated Power, and Rated Sound Level. The label will also confirm the turbine meets durability and safety requirements of the AWEA Standard. SWCC’s web directory will include Power Curves, Annual Energy Performance Curves and measured sound pressure levels for each model certified.

SWCC began to accept certification applications in February 2010.
