Abstract: In this paper the harmonization of new wind turbine rotor blades development is given as well as the analysis of behavior by verification testing for a wind turbine rotor blade of composite materials. The design, fabrication, the status of wind energy standards and the analysis of behavior by full-scale verification testing for wind turbine rotor blades of composite laminated materials is given, too. The experimental methodology of static, vibratory and fatigue tests for the wind turbine rotor blade of composite laminated materials is presented. These verification tests were performed after the rotor blade development had been completed. The development of the rotor blade was performed using the PC computer with the CATIA designing system and the Gerber Garment cutter system. The blade was fabricated from composite laminated materials. The contour of airfoil was formed by a continuous structural pocket and a fiberglass skin.
