In keeping with its commitment to deliver high strength bonding solutions into the most demanding marine and offshore applications,
ABS is one of the world’s largest classification services aimed at ensuring materials, products and service providers meet the specifications and standards of excellence in the maritime, military and offshore sectors. SCIGRIP submitted a comprehensive range of data around SG230 HV therefore allowing ABS to determine if the product met their rigorous specification criteria. Based on a satisfactory review of the physical and mechanical test results, SG230 HV was awarded a Product Design Assessment Certificate (PDA). Following the PDA certification, a site survey of SCIGRIP’s US manufacturing facility in Durham, North Carolina, was conducted to ascertain if the product would be consistently produced in accordance with the specification. This resulted in additional accreditations including the issuance of a Manufacturing Assessment Certificate and Type Approval of the product. “This is another significant step towards SCIGRIP extending its relationship with the larger sized boatbuilding operations both in Europe and the US,” commented Mark Rogan, SCIGRIP’s European sales and marketing manager. “We are delighted to offer such powerful and reliable bonding solutions that have received recognition from such a respected industry standard.” www.scigrip.com
