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 | No single universal product standard applies. Selection and use should follow the shipyard specification, approved repair procedure, applicable class requirements, and manufacturer instructions. Elastomer materials may be specified by relevant ASTM, EN, or ISO material standards. |
|---|---|
| Class Approval | Usually supplied as shipyard maintenance equipment without independent type approval. Where used as part of a permanent watertight or pressure boundary, acceptance should be confirmed with the responsible classification society, such as DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, BV, or ClassNK. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Clean the opening and sealing surfaces before installation. Verify plug diameter, shape, material compatibility, and required pressure rating. Insert fully and secure the handle or retaining arrangement. Confirm tightness before flooding, pressure testing, or commencing work. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Inspect plugs, handles, and sealing surfaces before each use. Remove dirt, corrosion, cuts, cracking, and permanent deformation. Clean with a compatible detergent, dry before storage, and protect elastomer plugs from heat, sunlight, oil, and ozone. |
| Safety Notes | Use only within the manufacturer's stated size and pressure limits. Do not rely on a temporary plug as the sole protection against flooding unless specifically approved. Secure plugs against displacement, depressurize systems before removal, and use suitable lifting and personal protective equipment. |
