The regulations set out by the maritime industry are to ensure safety at sea. The testing and certification of vessels in the marine environment are very critical. Since there are so many technologies working together, high power radios, navigation radars, and so much more, a small malfunction can be catastrophic. The improper operation of these technologies can be life threating to the nearby vessels as well.
The testing and certification of digital and wireless devices along with maritime devices and regulations requires a team of knowledgeable experts, and QAI’s team of experts is ready to help you with your compliance needs.
