IEC 60945 and DNV Marine Approved Networking

IEC 60945 & DNV Marine Networking Devices

We supply marine compliant networking equipment built to IEC 60945 and DNV standards for use in offshore, shipboard, and maritime control environments. Our range includes Ethernet switches, media converters, and wireless devices designed to operate reliably in environments exposed to salt spray, humidity, shock, and vibration. These marine-grade devices are ideal for navigation systems, vessel monitoring, and ship-to-shore communications.

Learn More About IEC 60945 & DNV Marine Networking Devices

IEC 60945 is an international standard covering general requirements, methods of testing, and required test results for maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems. It applies to characteristics common to shipborne radio equipment, shipborne navigational equipment, and, for EMC, other bridge-mounted or nearby equipment that could affect safe navigation or radiocommunications.

DNV approval indicates that a product has been assessed within a recognised marine approval framework used across the maritime industry. DNV’s marine component and approval services are intended to verify that products meet high requirements for safety and reliability in marine applications.

These devices are most useful in onboard vessel networks, bridge systems, control rooms, offshore platforms, and other marine installations where communications hardware must continue operating reliably in maritime conditions. They are commonly used for shipboard Ethernet networks, monitoring systems, communications infrastructure, and wider vessel or offshore network integration.

Marine approved networking devices are chosen where the application requires products that align with recognised maritime standards and approval frameworks, rather than relying only on general industrial suitability. In marine and offshore environments, approval status can be an important part of product selection alongside network performance, connectivity, and installation requirements.
