Hi all

We are a pipling line equipment supplier.

Now, one of our customer requires a ABS/BV certification.

But i get nothing about that as we are not a ship building company.


Your replies will always be appreciated, thanks.

Will your product be used in maritime applications? If so, the requirement from your customer.

All the MAJOR classification societies have been involved with the Oil & Gas Sector for 4 decades now and perform numerous services in that supply chain.

The question you have to ask the customer is: certify what against what by whom?

BV and ABS are competitors. Does the customer need dual certification or one of the two would suffice?

I think what the OP means is Classification and not Certification. It´s a product classification for use on ships and rigs. Try this and see if it helps.

Sorry, Ted, but I think you are wrong. The OP already stated that he is a supplier of equipment to the pipeline industry.

ABS, BV, LR, DNV, GL, etc... all do much more than ship classification.

Sidney,

I imagined that the OP´s product would fall under the category of transportation of the petroleum or other petrochemical product being that he is in the pipeline industry... just trying to interpret what the OP was requiring...

Hi Sidney

BV or ABS's certification will be ok to our customer.
