Transportation Marine Asbestos Inspection
Marine asbestos inspection from SGS - ensure your ships are asbestos free and prove compliance with international requirements.
The International Marine Organization (IMO) requires all materials used in ships to be free of asbestos. Meeting this requirement can be difficult, as raw materials can come from subcontractors who may not be forthcoming about the composition of the items they supply. Our marine asbestos inspection service will identify any materials containing asbestos in your ships and monitor your shipyard for asbestos in the air, reducing your risk of non-compliance with IMO regulations.
Why Use Marine Asbestos Inspection from SGS?
Marine asbestos inspection will enable you to:
- Reduce the risk of asbestos contamination during the production process
- Prevent the introduction of asbestos into the supply chain
- Ensure environmental safety
- Prove compliance with IMO Resolution MSC.282(86), the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships and Regulation (EU) No.1257/2013 of The European Parliament And Of The Council of 20 November 2013
