Classification is a special type of certification particularly applied to confirm that the maritime structures and facilities comply with requirements. Classification implies that requirements are set by the classification society, i.e. the same third party that performes the classification. The requirements are specified in the DNV Rules.
DNV operates a world-wide network of survey stations and is authorised by more than 120 flag administrations to carry out surveys and, in most cases, issue statutory certificates on their behalf.
DNV certifies all materials, components and systems relevant to safe operation and quality of ships and MOUs as part of classification.
DNV provides a wide range of consulting services within commercial, operational, and technology management for the maritime industry.
