DNV DNV STD CERT 1.2 [ Obsolete ]

Introduction

DNV is operating the following two Type Approval schemes:

— DNV Type Approval

— EU RO Mutual Recognition (MR) Type Approval.

DNV Type Approval:

The DNV Type Approval (TA) scheme is a procedure for approval of the design of materials, products and systems. The TA scheme may be used as an alternative to design approval "case by case" when the materials, products and systems are intended for DNV classed vessels, see Standard for Certification 1.1.

For most products and systems DNV TA is a voluntary alternative for approval of design. However, for certain products and systems as defined in the applicable chapters of the DNV Rules, DNV TA is a mandatory procedure for design approval.

The DNV TA procedure should normally be used for approval of standard design of products produced in series.

EU RO Mutual Recognition (MR) Type Approval:

The EU RO MR Type Approval scheme is a procedure for type approval of certain products that can be accepted for installation onboard vessels on the basis of the EU RO MR Type Approval only.

This Type Approval scheme can only be used for products that are defined on a list of products agreed by the EU RO, see Appendix A.

When a product has got an EU RO MR Type Approval from DNV, the product shall be accepted for installation onboard vessels classed by any of the EU RO.
