Type Approval
Strengthen Product Recognition & Improve Market Visibility
WEBINAR DETAILS
ABS Type Approval Program - Strengthen Product Recognition & Improve Market Visibility
Duration: 30 mins
AVAILABLE NOW ON-DEMAND
In this 30-minute webinar, Demetri Stroubakis, ABS Director of Global Equipment and Materials, and Joe Williams, Manager, ABS Programs, will provide an overview of the ABS Type Approval Program and present the many benefits of recognition within the program. They will also show you how to expedite your certification request using our new online form, and walk you through the process to achieve certification of equipment and components for marine and offshore assets.
The ABS Type Approval Program is a voluntary product approval solution available to qualified manufacturers who are targeting promotion of their products to marine and offshore sector consumers. Depending on the manufacturing process, ABS can provide both individual unit certification for critical components and extend Type Approval to mass produced products in support of efficient and cost-effective manufacturing strategies. Additionally, manufacturers certified under this program receive specific logos for marketing material and are included in our online database to recognize products that conform to industry standards and ABS rules. .
