‌DNV Standards: The International Passport for Marine Engineering Safety

As one of the most credible certification bodies in the global maritime sector, the technical standards of the Norwegian classification society (DNV) have become the cornerstone of safety and reliability for marine equipment. From LNG carriers to floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels, DNV regulations set stringent technical thresholds through quantitative risk assessment and lifecycle management. For instance, its OS-C501 Marine Platform Specification requires a 30% improvement in fatigue life for tubular joints compared to traditional standards, significantly enhancing structural durability.
