The purpose of this document is to provide goal-based guidelines for the certification of polymeric parts produced using an additive manufacturing (AM) process.
The guidance is intended for those organisations that are:
• interested in adopting AM and looking to understand how the qualification and certification requirements compare with conventional manufacturing processes;
• already using AM and looking to qualify their processes or certify materials and/or parts;
• sub-contracting, or intending to sub-contract, elements of their manufacturing to an AM supplier and wish to understand the requirements for certification.
To enhance your experience and to expand the availability of the Rules and Regulations, Lloyd’s Register Rules will be exclusively available in Regs4ships, OneOcean’s regulatory compliance solution.
On signing up for this service, you can access the following free of charge: Rules and Regulations, and those for specialised ship types, including special service craft and naval ships, Guidance information and Notices.
