SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, is delighted to host a complimentary webinar, ‘How to navigate marine fire testing and certification’ on January 9, 2025.
Interior fire safety in the marine sector depends on knowledge of how products will behave under all types of environments and weather conditions. Without thorough testing of these products to identify flaws and potential weaknesses, there can be legal and regulatory consequences, as well as increased risk to life and the environment, and operational disruptions.
Products such as structures, flooring finishes, walls and ceiling building materials, interior finishes, drapes, curtains, furniture, and bedding components, can all be subjected to testing, evaluating their performance in possible scenarios such as extreme temperatures. In this webinar, expert presenters Greg Gutsko and Bobby Brown explore the United States Coastguard (USCG) and Wheelmark certifications, both of which are recognized globally as the gold standard for marine safety.
SGS helps businesses find their way through these often complex testing and certification processes, using approved methodologies and trusted expertise to simplify them. This webinar offers insights into industry trends and emerging technologies that will influence future testing standards. Case studies and a Q&A provide opportunities to understand testing and certification in action.
This webinar is aimed at manufacturers of marine equipment, regulatory bodies, ship construction and maintenance organizations, hospitality firms and tier one suppliers of finished goods for interior finishes.
