Hawke International Gains American Bureau Of Shipping Type Approval
Hawke International has achieved type approval from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) for our complete range of hazardous area Cable Glands for use in marine applications.
This approval covers electrical equipment for use in areas where the presence of gas or dust creates a potential for explosions and is in addition to existing certification from international authorities including Baseefa, GOST, UL, CEPEL and CSA. It will provide users with additional reassurance when selecting our Cable Glands for use in ABS listed offshore oil and gas installations and FPSO vessels.
Hawke International Managing Director, James Phillips commented "Our Cable Glands are safety critical products used in extreme environments to protect equipment from ingress by moisture and to prevent the ignition of potentially explosive gas and dust. The ABS approval is a valuable further endorsement of our capability to protect life and capital assets."
