The OVE Austrian Association for Electrical Engineering ( OVE , formerly ÖVE ) is an industry platform in the field of electrical engineering and information technology and brings together science and research , business , energy supply companies and users. Furthermore, it promotes the success of the industry with numerous further training offers. With its core areas of electrical standardization , certification and lightning research , the association officially represents Austrian interests in European and international bodies such as IEC and CENELEC .
History of origin
The OVE Austrian Electrotechnical Association was in 1883 , in a period of rapid development and distribution of electrical engineering in Vienna founded. The following goals guided the association when it was founded:
- to promote the development of electrical engineering and
- at the same time to ensure the safe use of electrotechnical applications,
- to establish contact between universities and business and
- to maintain an intensive exchange of information among experts and those interested in this young and revolutionary technology.
Important industry representatives of the time such as Prof. Ernst Mach , Siegfried Marcus and Prof. Josef Stefan joined the association as founding members, a little later Prof. Ludwig Boltzmann too .
In line with its primary goal, the safe use of electrical equipment and systems, the association issued the first safety regulations for electrical engineering as early as 1889. The OVE was thus one of the pioneers in the field of electrical standardization in the international environment .
The association paved the way for technological progress in further developments . Outstanding members of the OVE who have worked in the last few decades have included a .:
- Prof. hc Dr. Gottfried Biegelmeier , inventor of the residual current circuit breaker
- Univ.-Prof. Dr. Dr. hc mult. Heinz Zemanek , computer pioneer
Areas
OVE Standardization - Normung & Standardisierung
The OVE is the Austrian electrotechnical standards organization in accordance with the Electrical Engineering Act, as amended in 92 F. The mandate to create standards for electrical engineering is thus legally anchored.
OVE Standardization coordinates the development of national regulations for electrical engineering as well as the adoption of European and international standards in national regulations. The employees offer assistance and advice on the current status of standardization as well as legal backgrounds and administrative issues.
The OVE officially represents Austrian interests as a member of IEC and CENELEC in international and European standardization work . It is thus an essential interface between the Austrian economy , authorities and consumers on the one hand and the international and European standardization organizations on the other.
OVE Certification - Exam & Certification
The OVE is the nationally and internationally accredited certification and inspection body for products, processes and systems for the entire field of electrical engineering and safety technology . With its certifications and approvals, OVE Certification objectively and independently confirms compliance with national and international standards .
With its partner laboratories, OVE Certification carries out conformity tests on products and systems for household, trade and industry. As part of its program for supervised manufacturer testing, OVE Certification reduces the time required for certification and thus enables shorter product development times .
The OVE is represented in IECEE / CEE , IECQ , ETICS and 30 national, European and international committees.
OVE Academy - further education & events
The OVE Academy is the provider of knowledge transfer in the field of electrical engineering, information technology and energy technology . The OVE Academy organizes advanced training for adults such as seminars and lectures and organizes international and national congresses and conferences .
OVE Service GmbH: ALDIS - Lightning detection & lightning research
ALDIS is a joint project by OVE Österreichischer Verband für Elektrotechnik and Austrian Power Grid for lightning location and lightning documentation in Central Europe.
