Standards, Certifications & Class Approval
Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.
| Applicable Standards & Certification | Hatch cover sealing arrangements should comply with the International Convention on Load Lines and applicable IACS UR S21 requirements. Rubber properties may be tested using ISO 37, ISO 48-4 and ISO 815-1. Exact compliance depends on the hatch cover design and vessel rules. |
|---|---|
| Class Approval | Acceptance is normally part of the complete hatch cover system and may require approval by DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas or ClassNK. Replacement packing should match the class-approved profile, material, dimensions and compression characteristics. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Confirm the original profile, channel dimensions and required compression. Clean the retaining channel, remove corrosion and old adhesive, fit without stretching, bond with the specified adhesive, and vulcanize or join corners according to the hatch cover maker's procedure. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Inspect for permanent compression, cracking, cuts, hardening, loose joints and paint contamination. Keep drainage channels and compression bars clean, perform chalk or ultrasonic tightness tests, and replace damaged lengths with the approved matching profile. |
| Safety Notes | Secure and isolate hatch cover movement before inspection or replacement. Follow lockout procedures, avoid pinch points, use approved access and fall protection, and observe adhesive and solvent safety data. |
