Innovation Endorsement Approach
As companies pursue ESG management and the SDGs to realise a sustainable society, various innovations have been vital to resolve challenges. ClassNK offers its “Innovation Endorsement (IE) Approach” as a framework to support innovative initiatives through third-party certification. The basic concept of IE is introduced below
Background
IE is ClassNK’s initiative as a third-party certification body to create new value based on "Third party certification/ evaluation/ rating", and it is one of the three business pillars on which "ClassNK Digital Grand Design 2030"*1 (announced in February 2020) is based. It has described the future shape required to a class society in the digital society.
(*1) Related press release: "ClassNK develops its Digital Grand Design 2030”
Policy
The principle policy of IE is as follows
- Speed-focused: As innovation progresses rapidly, ClassNK focuses on the speed to fully follow its pace, establish evaluation technologies as a third party, and then certify such innovation.
- Cooperation with front runners: Since a clear evaluation standard is unlikely to have yet been established for innovative technologies, ClassNK examines and develops evaluation standards in collaboration with pioneering front runners.
- Certification expected by customers and society: In response to the expansion of the scope of innovative initiatives, the scope and target of certification will be also expanded based on customer needs and social conditions.
Scope of certification
The scope of IE covers four categories: Digital*2, Environment, Safety, and Labour. In addition, "Yours" demonstrates ClassNK's commitment to work to meet any needs of customers and society.
(*2) IE was launched focusing on digital innovation in July 2020.
Target of certification
IE covers three categories as the target of certification: Ships, Products & Solutions, and Providers.
- Notation: For ships, notations such as "DSS"*3, "a-EA"*4 ,”a-SAFE”*5, and “ELW”*6 indicating advanced initiatives related to the digitalisation, environment, safety, and living and working environment on board have been incorporated to the ship, are added to its class certificate and support the enhancement of ship's value.
- P&S certification: For products and solutions (P&S), ClassNK examines and verifies their innovative functions based on our knowledge and experience as a third-party certification body and issue certificates for supporting the deployment of products and services.
- Provider certification: For organisations (providers) engaging in innovative initiatives, ClassNK provides flexible supports from the early stage with three levels of certification, (1) Conception (Class C), (2) Development (Class D), and (3) Sustainable implementation (Class S).
ClassNK is committed to contributing to the sustainable evolution of maritime and offshore business activities by actively supporting innovative technologies through IE, and monitoring to innovation trends, and continuing its Innovation ecosystem to respond quickly to customers’ advanced initiatives.
(*3) DSS: Abbreviation for Digital Smart Ship. Refer to ClassNK’s Guidelines for Digital Smart Ship.
(*4) a-EA: Abbreviation for Advanced Environmental Awareness. Refer to Chapter 5 of ClassNK’s Environmental Guidelines
(*5) a-SAFE: Abbreviation for Advanced Safety. Refer to ClassNK’s Guidelines for Advanced Safety Measures.
(*6) ELW: Abbreviation for Excellent Living and Working Environment. Refer to ClassNK’s Guidelines for Excellent Living and Working Environment.
