DNV
Certification in the maritime sector
DNV is the certification for the maritime environment, offshore facilities, gas and oil pipelines, and onshore applications such as wind, tidal, and solar energy.
The classification society was formed in 2013 with the merger of Det Norske Veritas (DNV), a Norwegian company, and Germanischer Lloyd (GL), and was known as DNV-GL until early 2021. Since March 2021, the company has only been simply DNV. The company is composed of four divisions and an independent corporate unit. As a classification society, DNV-Maritim creates standards for ships and offshore units. These rules include safety, reliability, and environmental regulations that onshore and offshore entities must comply with in international waters. DNV also reviews international standards and guidelines. DNV certificates are a basic requirement in the maritime industry for having electrotechnical components approved on ships. They are also considered a quality mark documenting reliability and durability.
Our chainflex cables therefore have the following characteristics:
Over 370 of our chainflex control, servo, motor and robot cables as well as bus, data, encoder and fibre optic cables have DNV approval and therefore allow for safe and reliable power and data supply at sea. If our chainflex cables have DNV approval, this simplifies and speeds up their use in the maritime environment as the individual components require no testing. DNV approval means that the cable can withstand the harsh environmental conditions at sea as it is flame-retardant and resistant to MUD, oil, UV radiation and seawater.

This white paper presents challenges for companies and suppliers alike. It describes how companies can fulfil the strict test criteria so as to have components certified by institutions responsible for approval, such as DNV. The white paper also provides an outlook on the opportunities that arise for suppliers, plant manufacturers and ultimately operators of on-board platforms and ships due to the use of certified components such as cables.
