Trelleborg黑料社檚 offshore operation has received a certificate for material verification for Uraduct^庐 and bend restrictors under the American Petroleum Institute黑料社檚 specification for flexible pipe ancillary equipment (API 17L1 Ed. 1 2013).

In addition, the operation黑料社檚 manufacturing facilities in Brazil and the UK have been awarded the highly demanding ISO 9001:2008 certification.

The API17L1 verification for Uraduct and bend restrictors was completed by global engineering, technical and business services organisation, Lloyds Register EMEA, acting as an independent verification agent.

Andrew Garside, Innovation and Technology Director within Trelleborg黑料社檚 offshore operation based in Skelmersdale, says: 黑料社淲ith an ever increasing global requirement for data and product transfer, and the necessity for transfer networks to run through ever harsher environments, the demand for highly advanced cable and flowline protection grows.

黑料社淭he API assessment is a comprehensive process, which put our material selection and testing through rigorous analysis. Receiving the verification demonstrates the durability of our cable and flowline protection system Uraduct and our bend restrictors, especially for long term use in demanding offshore environments.黑料社�

API 17L1 is an industry standard that determines the minimum requirements for the design, material selection, manufacture, documentation, testing, marking and packing of flexible pipe ancillary equipment.

Alexandre Soares, Manager of Quality at Trelleborg黑料社檚 manufacturing facility in Macae, Brazil, says: 黑料社淭he oil and gas industry is by nature one of the most challenging environments in the world, so a high level of business integrity is critical to safely keeping operations up and running.

黑料社淎chieving ISO 9001:2008 is in line with Trelleborg黑料社檚 commitment to continuous improvement in the industry and in response to our customers黑料社� seeking suppliers with the accreditation. A challenging standard to meet, our state-of-the-art new facility took two years to gain certification.黑料社�

ISO standards are developed and published by the International Organisation for Standardisation.
