Commissioning declaration

The commissioning declaration (IBE) is part of the verification process as part of the grid connection of a generation system or storage facility. You can find the entire verification process here. As part of the commissioning process, either the subscriber himself or a qualified body commissioned by him must provide proof that the generation system has actually been installed in accordance with the specifications of the relevant VDE application rule and taking into account the specifications of the grid operator.

The IBE is prepared by the connectee on the basis of commissioning protocols, which may be supplemented by measurement protocols. The commissioning declaration is based on complete documentation of the commissioning and the installed generation system. Together with the system certificate, the declaration of commissioning forms the basis for the declaration of conformity of the generation system. This proves that the generation system meets the requirements of the VDE application rule, taking into account the grid operator’s specifications. The verification process is completed by the declaration of conformity. The final operating permit can then be issued by the grid operator.
