At Axis Test Laboratories, we offer a comprehensive range of testing services to ensure that your products meet the strict requirements of Marine Type Approval. Type Approval is a mandatory requirement for any voyage or safety-critical apparatus installed on classified vessels, as it ensures that the products meet the strict requirements for safety and reliability in the harsh marine environment. Each of the major Class Societies that regulate and audit vessels have their own individual requirements for type approval.
We understand the importance of Marine Type Approval and the impact it has on the safety of people and equipment at sea. Our comprehensive range of testing services are designed to ensure that your products meet the exacting standards set by the major Class Societies that regulate and audit vessels.
Our testing services ensure that your equipment meets the strict requirements of classification societies for marine approvals, such as DNV GL, Lloyd's Register, ABS, BV, ClassNK, RINA, KR, CCS, and NKK.
Our past experience with type approval testing many varied systems has allowed us to combine these requirements into a single test plan and test report that meets or exceeds the requirements of all 10 societies in one test suite. We utilise EN 60945 and Test Specification E10 issued by the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS). These standards form the backbone of marine type approvals.
Our laboratory is UKAS Accredited, making our Test Laboratory ideally suited for the environmental testing of products for use in a marine environment, including Marine Equipment Directive (M.E.D) 96/98 applications.
We understand that companies often need products to be approved as quickly as possible, Axis Test Laboratories are able to offer very short lead times while still remaining cost effective, helping you get your product to market faster than ever before.
We believe that every product installed on a classified vessel should meet the highest safety and reliability standards. Contact us today for a quotation, information or advice and see how our testing services can help you achieve Marine Type Approval for your products.
