DNV is one of the world's leading classification societies, which provides organized rules and verification for the classification of ships, high speed and light craft to Det Norske Veritas offshore standards.
At the end of March, DNV issued the Type Approval (TA) that certifies Moxa EDS Series Ethernet switches and IMC series fibre converters as complying with Det Norske Veritas Rules, which entails verification against a set of requirements during design, construction, and operation of ships and offshore units.
The certification report also states that the EDS series devices cover a range of Industrial Managed and Unmanaged Ethernet Switches, some of which have redundancy built in to increase the reliability of the overall system.
The DNV Type Approval Certificate not only means that the certified equipment has passed stringent environmental and function tests, but also recognizes that the equipment is suitable for use in maritime, oil, and gas applications.
For Moxa Networking, certification of its industrial Ethernet products by one of the world's leading classification societies is a demonstration of its commitment to customer service and quality products.
To date, Moxa Networking has obtained several projects that require DNV certified Ethernet switches and fibre converters for marine, oil, and gas applications from the UK, China, and Scandinavia.
DNV Certification for devices used as part of maritime applications is highly coveted, and Moxa has become one of the manufacturers who provide DNV certified managed and unmanaged Ethernet Switches and Fibre Converters.
