A Danish company is the first company in the world to certify personnel in accordance with the new recognised ISO/PAS 23678 standards for certification of personnel working with life-saving inspections equipment.

CRALOG, a training academy and service provider authorized in inspections of all different make and type of launching appliances, lifeboats and their release gear, is also the first company in the world to be third-party certified by Bureau Veritas in accordance with the new ISO PAS 23678 standards.

“The intent of the new ISO standards is to provide a clear framework to establish competency for personnel employed by independent authorized service providers or manufacturers when acting as service providers on an internationally accepted basis,” said Ian Fleming McCurdie, managing director at CRALOG.

Use of the standards and BV certification provides quality assurance when CRALOG trains personnel in close collaboration with the Maritime and Polytechnic University College MARTEC in Denmark.

The ISO/PAS 23678 standards boost safety onboard vessels for seafarers and provide a quality benchmark for inspections.
