The American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) is a classification society, with a mission to promote the security of life, property and the natural environment, primarily through the development and verification of standards for the design, construction and operational maintenance of marine-related facilities. At the end of 2006, ABS was the third largest class society with a classed fleet of over 10,000 commercial vessels and offshore facilities. The core service ABS provides is the provision of classification services through the development of standards called ABS Rules. These Rules form the basis for assessing the design and construction of new vessels and the integrity of existing vessels and marine structures.
All computers and displays used in ship construction that are ABS Type Approved are designed and tested to the standards as set forth in IEC 60945 (International Electrotechnical Commission). ABS provides type approval to these products based on successful completion of tests conducted by a third party test facility that is acredited by the American Association of Lab Accredidation (A2LA).
To facilitate an ABS type approved installation, Comark provides computers and displays that have been designed to IEC60945 requirements, tested by an A2LA approved test facility and type approved by ABS. Some of the requirements these products must meet are:
Operating temperature
Storage temperature
Vibration
Humidity
