scope:

This CP gives a description of the procedures and requirements related to documentation, design and type testing applicable for TA of anti-fouling systems.

The type approval comprises the anti-fouling system in liquid condition and in the condition when applied in full compliance with the manufacturer's recommendations (see [1.3]). Quality control during surface preparation and/or application of the anti-fouling system is, however, not included in the type approval.

The Society's TA certificate will cover one grade of the actual product with the possibility to include variants.

For an anti-fouling system this means:

- grade: full anti-fouling system, including one or more coats (as per system definition)

- variants: e.g. color variants or thinned variants.

A DNV GL type approval certificate is normally limited to one manufacturer at one production site.
