CSWIP Certification

CSWIP is managed by the Certification Management Board, which acts as the Governing Board for Certification in keeping with the requirement of the industries served by the scheme. The Certification Management Board, in turn, appoints specialist Management Committees to oversee specific parts of the scheme. All CSWIP Boards and Committees comprise member representatives of relevant industrial and other interests. As an example, the CSWIP Underwater Inspection Management Committee is one such committee and is representative of offshore operators, diving contractors and classification societies.
