Det Norske Veritas (DNV) has carried out an investigation of the incident on 8 September 2010, when a blade piece detached from Vestas' V112-3.0 MW prototype wind turbine in Lem, Denmark. DNV's investigation has concluded that the cause of the incident is related to a human error in the manually produced prototype blade. DNV's final conclusion thus confirms Vestas' own conclusion, ref. company announcement No. 35/2010 of 10 September 2010.
