FOREWORD
DET NORSKE VERITAS is an autonomous and independent Foundation with the objective of safeguarding life, property and
the environment at sea and ashore.
DET NORSKE VERITAS AS is a fully owned subsidiary Society of the Foundation. It undertakes classification and
certification of ships, mobile offshore units, fixed offshore structures, facilities and systems for shipping and other industries.
The Society also carries out research and development associated with these functions.
DET NORSKE VERITAS operates a worldwide network of survey stations and is authorised by more than 120 national
administrations to carry out surveys and, in most cases, issue certificates on their behalf.
Standards for Certification
Standards for Certification (previously Certification Notes) are publications that contain principles, acceptance criteria and
practical information related to the Society's consideration of objects, personnel, organisations, services and operations.
Standards for Certification also apply as the basis for the issue of certificates and/or declarations that may not necessarily be
related to classification.
A list of Standards for Certification is found in the latest edition of the Pt.0 of the Rules for Classification of Ships, and the
Rules for Classification of High Speed, Light Craft and Naval Surface Craft.
The list of Standards for Certification is also included in the current Classification Services Publications issued by the
Society, which is available on request. All publications may be ordered from the Societys Web site http://exchange.dnv.com.
The list of publications is also available from this site.

4) at a laboratory recognized/certified by an IMO Member
States Marine Administration
5) at a non-recognized/certified laboratory when testing is
witnessed by a DNV branch auditor/expert and such
arrangement is approved by the project leader prior to
testing. Testing carried out on site or at the
manufacturers premises has to be witnessed by a branch
auditor/expert.
3.4 Product Marking

The product or packing is to be marked with name of
manufacturer, type designation and fire technical rating, as
applicable.
The marking should be carried out in such a manner that it is
visible, legible and indelible throughout the anticipated life
of the equipment, and so that the marks of the product types
can be traced back to the type approval certificate.
3.5 Issuance of Certificate
3. Elements of Type Approval
The type approval certificate will be issued upon satisfactory

completion of the tests and procedures specified or referred
to in this type approval guideline.
3.1 Design Assessment

The design assessment is to assess that the design of the
product conforms to the requirements specified in 2. Design
Requirements above.
The certificate will have a validity of 4 years.
3.2 Type Testing
A reminder letter will be sent to the certificate holder at least

3 months prior to the expiry of the certificate. The certificate

carried out initially.
Witnessing by a DNV surveyor of the selection of test
specimens may be required.

3.7 Certificate Retention Survey

The objective of the survey is to verify that the product,
design, material composition and product type marking are
not altered as compared to original documentation.
The main elements of the survey are:
Witnessing of factory tests/inspections of random

samples from the production line
Review of type approval documentation
Review of possible changes in design, materials and
performance
Ensure traceability between manufacturers product
marking and type approval certificate
