Abstract
This paper describes the work carried out in INTA-SPASOLAB aimed at getting the accreditation to IEC-62108, which was approved in December 2007. The huge experience in both qualification and certification, accumulated in SPASOLAB-INTA has been used to prepare a full equipped testing field with two double-axes trackers and a meteorological station. As a result of this work, improvements to the current version of the standard have been proposed as well as new tests that should be considered in the following amendments. Reliability tests are also under development.
