What is the goal of a sample test in the shipping industry?
To ensure the safety and optimum functionality of your products, you can test your marine products in our laboratories for ship and marine equipment. The components, equipment and systems manufactured in the shipbuilding process must comply with certain safety standards and technical regulations.
The purpose of sample testing is to verify compliance with these and to ensure the safe use and structural integrity of ships and their components. This helps prevent accidents and damage at sea and promote sustainable development in the maritime sector.
Sample tests is an essential step in the approval process for ships and their components.
