DNV tests components and systems relevant to safe operation and quality of ships. Together with design assessment, type approvals and production assessments, this ensures that systems and components are fit for their purpose, and fulfil the requirements of the DNV Rules or specific recognised standards.
In addition to type approval tests for class societies such as DNV and others, we specialise in tests needed to comply with the MARINE EQUIPMENT DIRECTIVE (MED), helping our customers to achieve the WHEEL mark. The Directive applies to the following equipment categories:
- Life-saving appliances
- Marine pollution prevention
- Fire protection
- Navigation equipment
- Radio communication equipment
