Crosby® Testing Glossary Of Terms For Testing And Third Party Certification
Crosby® Testing Glossary Of Terms For Testing And Third Party CertificationAmerican Bureau of Shipping - (ABS) American Bureau of Shipping is a third party certification agency. ABS publishes several guidelines for various lifting applications. Some of the most common "lifting" guidelines include the following.
(This is not intended to be a complete list of guidelines published by ABS.) A common request is for ABS third party witness of proof test and magnetic particle inspection after proof test. Depending on the type of certification, requirements may include design review, materials testing, non destructive testing, proof load and special packaging. When specifying ABS certification, it is necessary to know to which guideline the product is to be certified (i.e., Guide for Certification of Cranes, etc.). Det Norske Veritas - (DNV) Det Norske Veritas is an independent foundation established in 1864 for safeguarding life, property and the environment. Along with inspection and advisory services, DNV provides the following three types of certification services. Classification - Certification based on DNV Rules or Certification Notes. Statutory Certification - Certification under authority granted by National Authorities (i.e., NPD,UK-HSE, Canada, Australia, etc.) according to acts, regulations, statutory instruments given by Statutory Authorities. Conformity Certification - Certification to client specifications, National Standards or recognized codes. Some of the most common DNV certification rules for lifting are:
(This is not intended to be a complete list of DNV Rules.) Lifting products may require design review, materials testing, non destructive testing, DNV issued Proof Test Certificate (CG3) and DNV issued Certificate of Conformity (C of C). Type approved products with a Manufacturer's Survey Agreement (MSA), require all the above except: Design Review, DNV issued Proof Test Certificate (CG3) and DNV issued Certificate of Conformity (C of C). For products certified to 2.7-1 Specification (Offshore Containers), DNV witnesses proof test and issues theirProof Test Certificate (CG3) and Certificate of Conformity (C of C) to the distributor responsible for building the container set. It is the distributor's responsibility and cost to contact DNV. When specifying DNV certification, always specify one of the three types of services, and if it is a DNV Rule, which Rule is applicable (i.e., Rules for Certification of Lifting Appliances, etc.). American Petroleum Institute - (API) Established in 1919, API writes specifications that are published as aids for the procurement of standardized equipment and materials, as well as instructions to manufacturers of equipment or materials covered by an API specification. Some of the common specifications written by API for "Lifting" are:
A standard to which a manufacturer's quality system must comply in order to state that products are manufactured to API requirements, resulting in permission to apply the API monogram. When specifying API, it is necessary to know to which API Specifications the product is to be certified (i.e., Specification for Drilling and Production Hoisting Equipment (API Spec 8A), etc.). Lloyd's Register of Shipping A society established in 1760 and recognized under UK laws and to provide third party assurance of compliance to plans, specifications, rules, codes and fitness of use by approving designs, surveys and reports. Lloyd's Register acts on behalf of clients and governments to verify products conform to statutory requirements and provides inspection and advisory services to clients. Some of the most commonly used Lloyd's Register certification types include the following.
Lloyd's Register of Shipping continued A common request is for Lloyd's Register Witness Proof Test and Magnetic Particle Inspection with Certification. However, certification may require design review, material tests or product verification to statutory or customer requirements. When specifying Lloyd's Register of Shipping certification, know the code, standard, statute or customer requirement (i.e., Code for Lifting Appliances in a Marine Environment, etc.). Federal Specifications & Military Standards The Federal Specifications & Military Standards' documents specify dimensional, performance and test requirements for products. Some specifications define particular testing that is not normally performed on standard items. Crosby products, when identified in the latest Crosby General Catalog, will meet the requirements when tested by the party awarded the government contract. Certification is usually covered by a Crosby Standard Certificate of Conformance. ISO 9001 A standard defining a manufacturer's or service organization's Quality Management System requiring third party certification. ISO 9001, the most comprehensive ISO certification level, involves the design, development, production and shipping of products. ISO 9001 requires that all procedures, work instructions, processes and additional activities be documented. Attainment of ISO 9001 forms the basis for meeting other world standards and provides customers with documented proof of Crosby's ability to consistently provide product quality and performance. National Association of Chain Manufacturers (NACM) A U.S. Standard specifying dimensional and performance criteria for graded chain. American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) American Society for Testing and Materials, established in 1898, is the largest voluntary standards development system in the world. ASTM Standards cover: Inspection Methods (Certificates Required) — i.e., Magnetic Particle, Ultrasonic, Dye Penetrant, X-Ray, Hardness, etc. Processes (Standard Certificate of Conformance) — i.e., Hot Dip Galvanizing, Electroplate, Mechanical Galvanizing,etc. Material Properties (Tensile Test Report Required) — i.e., Specification for Steel Forging, Carbon and Alloy for General Industrial Use (A668), Specification for Steel, Closed-Impression Die Forgings for General Industrial Use (A521), etc. Material Test Methods — Covers Tensile and Charpy impact test specimens and test methods. i.e., Test Methods of Tension Testing of Metallic Materials (E8), A370 Test Methods and Definitons for Mechanical Testing of Steel Products (A370), etc. American National Standards Institute (ANSI) American National Standards Institute established in 1916 develops product specific performance standards for items such as cranes, hooks, slings, screw threads, etc., usually covered with a standard Certificate of Conformance.
