Abyss is certified in accordance with NYTEK23 and NS 9415:2021
Abyss has been certified to carry out minor net repairs and servicing on site. This strengthens its services and marks an important milestone in its ongoing quality work.
In brief
Abyss is certified to carry out minor net repairs and servicing on site. Its diving teams have completed the necessary training, and the company’s procedures meet the requirements of NYTEK23 and NS 9415:2021.
The certification strengthens the service offering and quality work, while approved repairs can be documented without affecting the net’s existing strength or service life.
Our experienced diving teams have completed the necessary training in net repairs, and all procedures are in place. For our customers, this means we can deliver these services, which are now required as of 01.01.2024.
This certification highlights our focus on quality and good operations at every stage and strengthens our contribution to a sustainable aquaculture industry. – Bjarne Ytrøy, HSEQ Manager at Abyss
To achieve certification, we underwent an audit process with accredited provider Akvasafe. We now meet the requirements set out in NYTEK23 §45 and §46 and NS 9415:2021. We thank Akvasafe for its cooperation and a positive process leading to certification.
Abyss is already certified by Bureau Veritas in accordance with ISO 9001:2015 and Global G.A.P.
No change to service card status
A report from Abyss will confirm whether a repair is approved. An approved repair will provide strength equivalent to the existing net and will not affect its service life. This means that, as the service provider, we will not normally change the service card status.
The purpose of the regulation
The regulation aims to help prevent fish escapes from aquaculture facilities in the sea, lakes and watercourses by ensuring an adequate technical standard, while being better adapted to technological developments in aquaculture.
