Round Robin Tests
Part of the requirements for carrying the FGW seal of conformity is participation in future FGW round robin tests. These tests serve as quality assurance for the application of the FGW guidelines and to determine grey areas and uncertainties. For this purpose, the test procedure or parts thereof is applied by all participating test laboratories to identical sample data sets or test specimens. The submitted results are anonymised, compared with each other and checked against the success criteria defined in advance. If the success criteria are met, participation in the EQA scheme is deemed to have been passed.

Past round robin tests
Technical Committee Noise – Topic: Revision 19 of TG 1
In spring 2021, the Technical Committee Noise conducted a round robin test for revision 19 of TG 1.
The quality of the standard was reviewed on the basis of the evaluation and discussion of the results. Furthermore, the results can serve as proof of the qualification of the participating test laboratories.
The round robin test carried out by the FGW for revision 19 of TG 1 ‘Determination of noise emission values’ was successfully completed and the final report published.
Technical Committee Electrical Characteristics – Topic: Revision 24/25 of TG 3
Description:
The round robin test serves to check the reproducibility of measurements and evaluations of the electrical properties of a PGU in accordance with FGW TG 3 Revision 24. Synchronous measurement data over the entire power range of the PGU, which were recorded by all participating test laboratories during a joint test bench measurement on 16-17 May 2018, serve as the basis. The following points are tested:
- Flicker
- Harmonics
- Switching operations
- Imbalance
The quality of the Technical Guideline is to be reviewed on the basis of the evaluation and discussion of the results. Furthermore, the results can serve as proof of the qualification of the participating test laboratories.
Technical Committee Electrical Characteristics – Topic: Revision 26 of TG 3
Description:
The meeting of the measuring institutes of the TC EC (Technical Committee for Electrical Characteristics) of the FGW has carried out a round robin test. This includes the evaluation of reactive power data in accordance with the directive:
FGW TG 3 – Determination of the electrical characteristics of generating units and systems, storage systems and their components on the medium-voltage grid. High and extra-high voltage grid, Rev. 26, Berlin, FGW e.V., 05/04/2022
