BELA is an association of owners of accredited and independent testing laboratories located close to Bilbao, in the North of Spain.
Our mission is to perform development and type tests to accelerate the technological development of our customers and improve their competitiveness.
We continually invest in new equipment to offer the best resources for testing in the always evolving electricity T&D sector. We use cutting-edge technologies, as well as a high degree of automation, to ensure effective data collection throughout all tests. This gives us valuable information to comprehend the performance of the equipment during tests.
We are actively involved in several technical committees, which enables us to keep up to speed with test procedures and to provide state-of-the-art information on standard developments. In 2015 two of our laboratories applied for STL membership under AELP (Spanish Association of Power Laboratories). Both laboratories are currently participating in the work of the STL Technical Committee as applicants.
