The safety standards for marine electrical equipment have been upgraded again.
With the increasing strictness of shipping safety requirements, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has released a new version of the safety standards for ship electrical equipment. The new standards impose higher requirements on the fire prevention, explosion-proof, and insulation performance of electrical equipment. For example, it stipulates that the fire resistance rating of marine cables must be raised by two levels to enhance the safety of ships in fire accidents. Global shipbuilding and electrical equipment manufacturing companies are responding by investing significant resources in product modifications and upgrades to ensure compliance with the new regulations. This will prompt a reshuffling of the entire ship electrical equipment industry, with companies that have weak technical capabilities facing elimination, while leading companies are expected to further consolidate their market position through technological advantages.
