Ship classification

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.

Statutory services

DNV operates a world-wide network of survey stations and is authorised by more than 80 flag administrations to carry out surveys and, in most cases, issue statutory certificates on their behalf.

Certification of Materials and Components

DNV certifies all materials, components and systems relevant to safe operation and quality of ships and MOUs as part of classification.
