ABS has used due diligence in the preparation of this certificate, and it represents the information on the product in the ABS
Records as of the date and time the certificate is printed.
If the Rules and/or standards used in the PDA evaluation are revised or if there is a design modification (whichever occurs first),
a PDA revalidation may be necessary.
The continued validity of the MA is dependent on completion of satisfactory audits as required by the ABS Rules. The validity of
both PDA and MA entitles the product to receive a Confirmation of Product Type Approval.
Acceptance of product is limited to the “Intended Service” details prescribed in the certificate and as per applicable Rules and
Standards.
This Certificate is valid for installation of the listed product on ABS units which exist or are under contract for construction on or
prior to the effective date of the ABS Rules and standards applied at the time of PDA issuance. ABS makes no representations
regarding Type Approval of the Product for use on vessels, MODUs or facilities built after the date of the ABS Rules used for
this evaluation.
Type Approval requires Drawing Assessment, Prototype Testing and assessment of the manufacturer's quality assurance and
quality control arrangements. The manufacturer is responsible to maintain compliance with all specifications applicable to the
product design assessment. Unless specifically indicated in the description of the product, certification under type approval does
not waive requirements for witnessed inspection or additional survey for product use on a vessel, MODU or facility intended to
be ABS classed or that is presently in class with ABS.
Due to wide variety of specifications used in the products ABS has evaluated for Type Approval, it is part of our contract that;
whether the standard is an ABS Rule or a non-ABS Rule, the Client has full responsibility for continued compliance with the
standard.
Questions regarding the validity of ABS Rules or the need for supplemental testing or inspection of such products should, in all
cases, be addressed to ABS.
