Streamlining requests for equipment certification

Bureau Veritas is simplifying equipment certification with VeriSTAR Equipment, a digital platform designed to streamline survey requests and certification management for marine and offshore equipment. 

VeriSTAR Equipment enables users to submit certification requests, select the appropriate certification services, interact with Bureau Veritas experts and track progress throughout the certification process. The platform provides a consolidated view of survey activities, certification status and associated documentation, and users can download certificates directly. 

VeriSTAR Equipment also enables manufacturers to manage the visibility of their approved products and certificates within Approval Explorer. This increases exposure to shipowners, shipyards, designers and operators searching for approved equipment and suppliers across the marine and offshore industry.

Key benefits of VeriSTAR Equipment

• A streamlined survey request process: users can ask for equipment surveys, type approval certifications and manufacturer audits by creating new requests or duplicating previous ones. 
• Track type approval reviews for all equipment: VeriSTAR Equipment’s comprehensive dashboard displays the most recent requests and certificates, allowing users to filter by type, date and status. 
• Receive automatic calendar updates and notifications: the platform includes a calendar that automatically updates as visits are scheduled and conducted. 
• Contact Bureau Veritas throughout the certification process: the platform includes a messaging tool that allows users to contact Bureau Veritas experts at any time. 
• Download certificates directly from the application: the platform notifies users when a certificate has been issued, so it can be downloaded directly from the VeriSTAR Equipment portal. This eliminates postal delays and unnecessary paperwork. 
• Manage how type approval certificates are displayed: clients can access type approval certificates on VeriSTAR Equipment, including welding certificates. Then, manufacturers can choose how each of their type approval certificates is displayed on the public browser, Approval Explorer.
