We define requirements and test specifications and perform design reviews during development. This provides a structured basis for aligning product design, function requirements, and preparation of test documentation before formal testing activities are initiated.
Electronic product compliance
Consultancy services for marine product type testing
Get accredited marine product test documentation and consultancy service for approval of marine equipment.
Manufacturers of marine electronics and equipment must document that products function under offshore and maritime conditions before approval and market release. The need arises when a product, prototype, or product family must be evaluated against maritime standards and class requirements. Without early clarification of requirements and structured documentation, products may not fulfill approval requirements, leading to delays and repeated testing.
Documented basis for approval
We support development by defining requirements and test specifications, performing design reviews, preparing test programmes and contacting relevant classification societies and authorities. Electronic product compliance test programmes describe the product or product family, test set-up, function test procedures, acceptance criteria and required tests and are submitted for approval before testing begins.
Challenges
When marine product requirements and performance are unclear, approval process is delayed and product risk increases.
Undefined requirements create development misalignment
Without early clarification of relevant maritime standards, class requirements, and function-test requirements, development may move in a direction that does not meet approval requirements. This can lead to later design changes, repeated testing, and avoidable delay.
Late testing reveals issues when changes are costly
If electrical, mechanical, climatic, or functional testing is postponed, deviations may only become apparent when prototypes are mature, and changes may affect schedules and budgets. This makes corrective actions more disruptive.
Unclear function under maritime conditions creates uncertainty
It is important that function under vibration, humidity, corrosion, EMC exposure or other maritime conditions is clearly defined and tested otherwise the approval process may be difficult or delayed.
Benefits
Get documented marine test results and approval input for technical documentation and market distribution.
Generate results aligned with maritime requirements
Testing is performed in accordance with relevant maritime standards and requirements from classification societies and authorities. The result is structured documentation that can be used for technical documentation and for the approval work linked to marine equipment.
