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 | ISO 14409, Ship and marine technology—Ship launching air bags, is relevant to marine airbags used for ship launching and related operations. Manufacturer pressure tests, material certificates, and load-test documentation should be requested. |
|---|---|
| Class Approval | Classification society acceptance is normally project-specific rather than universal. DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, and ClassNK may review the lifting plan, bag certificates, inspection records, and test documentation when required. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Inspect the bag, valves, fittings, and restraint arrangement before use. Position on a clean, adequately supported surface, secure against rolling or displacement, connect calibrated inflation equipment, and inflate gradually while monitoring pressure, vessel movement, and clearances. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Rinse with fresh water after seawater exposure, dry before storage, and protect from sunlight, oil, chemicals, sharp edges, and excessive heat. Store partially relaxed as recommended by the manufacturer and perform periodic visual, valve, pressure, and load inspections. |
| Safety Notes | Use only within the manufacturer-rated pressure, capacity, and operating configuration. Establish an exclusion zone, use secondary restraints and controlled venting, never stand beneath a suspended vessel, and ensure lifting plans are reviewed by competent marine and lifting personnel. |
