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, IMC Industrial Media Converter
family, NPort IA series, and some of the NPort 5000 series products 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 (Industrial Ethernet Switch & Industrial
Media Converter family) and A-level (NPort 5000 & NPort
IA family) tests 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).
