Dacon inspection services received approval from DNV for their DNV402 B program. This program is designed especially for companies engaged in NDT on offshore projects and on offshore units and components. The program aims at raising the level of quality and ensuring that services provided by the NDT companies meet or exceed the code requirements. Before a company is approved, all procedures have to be DNV approved, several audits will have to be passed and NDT technicians have to demonstrate their skills on mock-up test pieces. Dacon was issued a certificate of approval on 22 November 2011 which has a validity of 3 years. Dacon inspection services will continuously have to monitor their own performance and quality because the certificate could be revoked if non-conformances are found and not properly addressed during one of DNV’s yearly surprise audits.

Dacon inspection services is the first company in Thailand to be approved by DNV and is committed to continuous improvement by implementation of systems like these.
