The ambassador on the left and Timo Luukkainen on the right. 5 Ensto Utility Networks’ laboratory in Porvoo, Finland is now an accredited T284 testing laboratory. The accreditation certifies the competence, reliability and credibility of the activities and services of our laboratory – both nationally and internation-ally. FINAS, the Finnish Accreditation Service, gave its approval for the accreditation on November 25, 2014. Accreditation, based on internationally agreed criteria, is a procedure to rec-ognize a body's competence to carry out specific tasks. It means that Ensto Utility Networks Laboratory has been approved to conduct laboratory testing for accessories of overhead lines and underground cables based on the requirements of the ISO/IEC 17025 standard: the premises and the equipment are appropriate and the personnel is trained and competent. The accreditation can be found in www.finas.fi/Scopes/T284_A01_2014_k01.pdf Belarus, with nine million citizens and modern industrial economy is not yet an Ensto country. But with its efforts to embrace sustain-able technologies, it could be soon. "It's a market growing in importance in the years to come," says Timo Luukkainen, Ensto Group's CEO. "If you look at Belarus it's sur-rounded by countries where Ensto is present. Belarus is well known in the electrification business for its 50-kilowatt EV charging systems and its investment in green tech-nology. "Due to modernization and stringent environmental regu-lations, levels of emissions in major Belarusian industrial centers have decreased," Alexander P. Ostrovsky, Ambassador to Finland of the Republic of Belarus, told Ensto Today. The Ambassador says Belarus is also engaged in creating a very sustainability-savvy population with a National Action Plan to educate students for the green economy. Luukkainen says Ensto plans to enter Belarus soon. “It’s close to Finland, close to central Europe. It’s a country with a highly com-petitive cost level and industrial culture.” Read the full interview with Ambassador Ostrovsky at www.EnstoToday.com.
