FAQ

Q1: What is an ABS Product Design Assessment?

A Product Design Assessment is an ABS evaluation of the product design plans and data. It confirms the design complies with applicable ABS Rules. By itself, it does not constitute Type Approval, and unit certification procedures under ABS Rules still apply.

Q2: Which cable series are covered by certificate 21-2153557-PDA?

The certificate covers CJ Series and CE Series shipboard power cables, including XLPE insulated CJ types and EPR insulated CE types with SC, NC, SA and NA fire performance variants.

Q3: When is this certificate valid?

The certificate is effective from 19 November 2021 and expires on 18 November 2026, subject to revision of the applied Rules and Standards or design changes requiring reassessment.

Q4: What is the difference between PDA and Manufacturing Assessment?

PDA assesses the product design against ABS Rules. The Manufacturing Assessment evaluates the factory production quality system. For cable supply to ABS classed vessels, the two documents work together with type test reports for the specific cable types.

Q5: What sizes are covered?

Core numbers from 1 to 37 and nominal cross sections from 1mm2 to 240mm2 are listed, subject to the specific cable type. Please send your specification for size confirmation.
