Marine Class Approvals
KP Marine sensors - Certified for the World’s Leading Fleets
At Kjærulf Pedersen a/s, we are proud that our entire marine temperature sensor program is certified by six of the world’s most respected classification societies:
DNV – Det Norske Veritas, one of the largest and most influential in the world
Lloyd’s Register (LR) – The oldest classification society, founded in 1760, known for rigorous testing
Bureau Veritas (BV) – A leader in safety and environmental compliance
American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) – Based in Houston, with strong influence in North America
Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK) – Japan’s premier classification society, trusted globally
Registro Italiano Navale (RINA) – Italy’s leading marine certification body
These approvals cover your vessels wherever they operate, ensuring global compliance.
Why Six Approvals Matter
Some suppliers carry one or two certifications, often for a limited market. We maintain six because marine operations are global — and equipment may need to meet the standards of different classification societies.
By choosing our marine temperature sensors, you’re equipped for the world’s largest fleets and most demanding trade routes without worrying about gaps in approval.
Where Our Marine Certifications Make a Difference
Our certified marine temperature sensors are trusted in:
Propulsion systems – main engines, turbochargers, CP-propellers, and complete propulsion packages
Cargo monitoring – for reefers, bulk carriers, and tankers transporting hazardous or temperature-sensitive goods
Offshore operations – where reliability under saltwater exposure, high vibration, and heavy-duty mechanical stress is essential
Newbuild and retrofit projects – in shipyards, naval vessels, cruise liners, and workboats
In each of these environments, marine certification is not just paperwork — it’s proof that your temperature sensors meet strict global standards for safety and reliability.
Our Commitment
We hold one of the most comprehensive marine approval portfolios in the temperature sensor industry. This reflects decades of marine engineering experience, global supply capability, and close cooperation with shipowners, shipyards, and classification societies.
Whether fitting out a newbuild or replacing a single sensor, our marine-approved solutions are ready for the harshest conditions at sea — and for any inspection, anywhere.
Marine Approvals – Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about our marine approvals – Our marine temperature sensor program is certified by six of the world’s leading classification societies, ensuring compliance across global shipping routes. The following FAQ answers common questions about what marine approvals mean, which classification societies we work with, and how multiple approvals benefit operators.
A marine approval is an official certification from a classification society that confirms a product meets strict standards for safety, quality, and performance in maritime use. For temperature sensors, it ensures reliable operation under vibration, saltwater, oil, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
Our marine temperature sensor program is certified by six of the world’s leading classification societies: DNV, Lloyd’s Register (LR), Bureau Veritas (BV), American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK), and Registro Italiano Navale (RINA).
Marine operations are global, and equipment may need to meet the standards of different classification societies. Having six approvals means our marine temperature sensors can be used in vessels or machinery certified by any of the major societies, without delays or the need for alternative sourcing.
Our certified marine temperature sensors are used in propulsion systems, cargo monitoring, offshore operations, and newbuild or retrofit projects. They ensure compliance and reliable performance in all key marine applications.
