Well, I haven't gotten into any of the actual requirements Hersh. I may still have to do that, and what about A2LA? Please tell me that none of these customers are going to require us to go TS! Surely we can find a few others too?
As for A2LA, they are one of several accrediting bodies that you can deal with, but ONLY one of several.....so talk to ALL the ABs before signing with one.....
As for TS, I don't have the visibility of that I am afraid.....others are better qualified to answer that one.....
With respect to the shipbuilding industry, it has its own requirements.....I only get into that a bit when I am on assessment with our accredited maritime inspection agency.....as for steel, we have another person that does that.....I can spell steel and grew up near B'Ham, but that is the extent of my knowledge.....wish I could help you with that, but am unable to.....
