Statement of Compliance Scope
Depending on the manufacturer's specific needs, ABS can provide a Statement of Compliance to verify the design, manufacturing or testing of the equipment.
Through its global engineering team, ABS can provide reviews to national, international or industry standards identified by the manufacturer.
During manufacturing and testing, ABS can provide inspection services that include visits to the facility by an ABS surveyor for:
- Visual examiniations
- Material traceability confirmation
- Dimensional checks
- Non-destructive examinations
- Hydrostatic tests
- Functional tests
- Other similar activities
The verification activites will need to be defined by the manufacturer prior to commencing each inspection.
Issuance of Statement of Compliance
Upon completion of a requested design review, ABS will provide Statement of Compliance which will indicate the national, international or industry standard to which the equipment specifics were reviewed.
The Statement of Compliance for inspection serves details the testing or verification of results for equipment or components to the manufacturer's specified standards, and is based on the ABS surveyor's direct observations, physical testing or examiniation carried out.
Statements of Compliance can only be issued for equipment or components that are not covered by the ABS Rules or statutory requirements.
