Certificate for compliance with a specification or standard, the specification or standard, including
inspection standards and tolerances, must be clearly defined.
Comments
- All seal types should be installed in accordance with manufacturer’s ABS approved installation
drawing number S1023312 rev A.
- Insulation material is to be H class approved type and properly installed to the satisfaction of the
Surveyors.
- Although the jet fire resistance test has been designed to reproduce conditions similar to those found
in large-scale jet fires resulting from realistic releases of hydrocarbons, it cannot guarantee a specific
degree of protection from the myriad of possible jet fires. The Jet Fire Resistance Test, or indeed
large-scale demonstrations, cannot therefore be used to confer a universal fire resistance rating for a
specified time in the way that a standard furnace test confers a hydrocarbon rating. Hence this test does
not give a rating analogous to the “H” rating derived from the hydrocarbon fire resistance test as detailed
in ISO 834. This test is not intended to replace the hydrocarbon fire resistance test but is seen as a
complementary test.
- Although the method specified for jet-fire resistance test has been designed to simulate some of the
conditions which occur in an actual jet fire, it cannot reproduce them all exactly. The results of this test
do not guarantee safety but may be used as elements of a fire risk assessment for structures or plant.
This should also take into account all the other factors which are pertinent to an assessment of the fire
hazard for a particular end use.
- The Manufacturer has provided a declaration about the control of, or the lack of Asbestos in this
product.

and/or Standards used in the assessment are revised or until there is a design modification warranting
design reassessment (whichever occurs first).
Acceptance of product is limited to the “Intended Service” details prescribed in the certificate and as per
applicable Rules and Standards.
This Certificate is valid for installation of the listed product on ABS units which exist or are under contract
for construction on or previous to the effective date of the ABS Rules and standards applied at the time
of PDA issuance. Use of the Product for non-ABS units is subject to agreement between the
manufacturer and intended client.

ABS has used due diligence in the preparation of this certificate, and it represents the information on the product in the ABS
Records as of the date and time the certificate is printed.
If the Rules and/or standards used in the PDA evaluation are revised or if there is a design modification (whichever occurs first),
a PDA revalidation may be necessary.
The continued validity of the MA is dependent on completion of satisfactory audits as required by the ABS Rules. The validity of
both PDA and MA entitles the product to receive a Confirmation of Product Type Approval.
Acceptance of product is limited to the “Intended Service” details prescribed in the certificate and as per applicable Rules and
Standards.
This Certificate is valid for installation of the listed product on ABS units which exist or are under contract for construction on or
prior to the effective date of the ABS Rules and standards applied at the time of PDA issuance. ABS makes no representations
regarding Type Approval of the Product for use on vessels, MODUs or facilities built after the date of the ABS Rules used for
this evaluation.
Type Approval requires Drawing Assessment, Prototype Testing and assessment of the manufacturer’s quality assurance and
quality control arrangements. The manufacturer is responsible to maintain compliance with all specifications applicable to the
product design assessment. Unless specifically indicated in the description of the product, certification under type approval does
not waive requirements for witnessed inspection or additional survey for product use on a vessel, MODU or facility intended to
be ABS classed or that is presently in class with ABS.
Due to wide variety of specifications used in the products ABS has evaluated for Type Approval, it is part of our contract that;
whether the standard is an ABS Rule or a non-ABS Rule, the Client has full responsibility for continued compliance with the
standard.
Questions regarding the validity of ABS Rules or the need for supplemental testing or inspection of such products should, in all
cases, be addressed to ABS.
