PIX hydraulic hose & end-fittings have been awarded the prestigious DNV (Det Norske Veritas) MED (Marine Equipment Directive) Type Approval. This recognition is in addition to the DNV certification that was previously conferred upon the company in 2008.The MED Type Approval is an unbiased third-party certification attesting to a product's adherence to specific standards or specifications, and verification of an appropriate production quality system. This approval is strongly recommended for products used in high performance industries, in particular, marine, mining and offshore, endorsing their quality and safety.
Following receipt of the certification, Operations Director for UK based PIX Hydraulics, Karan Sethi said: "In this day and age of ever increasing quality expectations from our customers, the DNV MED will serve as our competitive edge. As a company, we have made a conscious effort to be at the forefront of continuous improvement in our manufacturing standards, quality, and processes; and this approval confirms that we are heading in the right direction. This is a fantastic achievement and we are absolutely thrilled to join an elite league of DNV MED approved manufacturers."
