In an environment as potentially dangerous as the marine sector, safety is paramount. The risks of accidents, fines and operational disruptions can be mitigated by trusted third party testing, helping to identify flaws, weaknesses or defects in interior products that could cost lives, time and money if a fire breaks out onboard.

This complimentary live webinar explores the key regulatory requirements and standards applicable to the marine industry. Fire safety regulations apply to many products and protections including fire door control systems, surface flammability, textiles and films, furnishing and fire-resisting divisions of high-speed craft. All of these can be tested in a variety of different conditions simulating extreme environments, against United States Coast Guard (USCG) and Wheelmark certifications, which are recognized globally through a mutual recognition agreement (MRA).

This webinar highlights the different testing methodologies used and provides case study examples and a Q&A session. Expert presenters Greg Gutsko and Bobby Brown offer insights into the certification processes and emerging industry trends, and demonstrate how SGS can help maritime authorities, manufacturers and operators show due diligence and achieve successful certification.
