BIRNS, Inc. has received American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Product Design Assessment (PDA) Certification for its tremendously popular lines of penetrators. This certification process included rigorous testing and review by the national organization, and resulted in ABS pre-approving all design, drawing and test procedures for BIRNS electrical penetrators and cable assemblies for underwater vehicles, systems and hyperbaric facilities for use on a variety of ABS-class vessels.

PDA certification is yet another in a long line of design and testing milestones for the 57-year-old ISO 9001:2008-certified company. “We are honored to receive this prestigious certification for our penetrator design, drawing and testing protocols, and to have the opportunity to provide yet another industry benchmark of safety, high performance and excellence to our customers,” says Eric Birns, President and CEO.
