The requirements of the international schemes are to ensure that manufacturers have identified and addressed all aspects of design and manufacturing that could impact safety and the safe operations of the equipment.

The actions required to become compliant with the international schemes vary according to which international schemes apply and the type or classification of the equipment as defined by the international schemes. However, there are some general steps you should follow:

1. Determine which, if any, international schemes apply to your product(s).

2. Determine the extent to which your product already complies with the essential requirements of the international scheme(s).

3. Choose conformity assessment routes. Depending on the nature of the equipment or product, you may be able to implement and declare compliance without assistance or service from an external company. In some cases the international schemes require and mandate that the services of a notified body, like DNV, be used.
