Abstract
The purpose of this work package can be divided into two main areas:
1. Review of existing standardization procedures with focus on leading edge fatigue cracks and recommendations / rules for avoiding leading edge cracks.
2. Development of a new standardization process focusing on leading edge cracks. The process must include a practical approach which can be implemented as an add-on to the recent certification procedure.
In addition to these main areas focus is also on cost models related to the costs of blade defects, inspections, repair and maintenance needed as a consequence of the (limited) requirements in the standards.
