The partners will now combine their experience to provide one-stop testing and certification to clients of materials and equipment used on board ships and on shore to reduce the double burden for manufacturers. The cooperation appoints TÜV Rheinland testing laboratories as ClassNK’s partner testing facilities, allowing clients of ClassNK and TÜV Rheinland to contact either partner. In 2013 both companies have already cooperated.
