Maritime Transport Sector
Maritime Transport Testing, Certification and Conformity
Overview
Maritime Transport sector: an overview of conformity processes
In maritime transport, ship equipment is subject to Wheelmark, and the operational side to the ISM/ISPS codes and classification-society surveillance. Fuel quality is analysed under ISO 8217; compliance with sulphur limits is required under MARPOL.
How we work
Six steps from scope to certificate
Scope
We determine your product, target market and sector; the required legislation list is produced.
Quote
Testing and audit items are priced separately; the quote is delivered within 24 hours.
Sample / Planning
Sample requirements are shared, or an on-site audit is scheduled.
Testing & Audit
Testing or audit is carried out according to the method of the relevant standard.
Report & Document
A report is issued; if within certification scope, the process proceeds to the decision stage.
Maintaining the validation
Surveillance audits and legislative changes are tracked.
