The ship classification system offered by DNV (Det Norske Veritas) is designed to safeguard life and property in maritime environments. Obtaining DNV Type Approval entails verification of a set of requirements during the design, construction, and operation of devices used on ships and offshore units.
Moxa's EDS Industrial Ethernet Switch family and IMC Industrial Media Converter family have received DNV Certification, and all tests meet or exceed the requirements of the guidelines laid out in ICAS Unified Requirement E10 and the relevant sections of IEC945 for equipment housed within a protected environment. In particular, the products have passed the D-level test for Temperature, B-level test for Humidity, A-level test for Vibration, and B-level test for EMC. (Note: DNV classifies tests into four levels-A, B, C, and D-ranging from the most basic to the most critical.)
