It is already known by many that Moody International offers statutory certification for new construction of mechanical based products under the European Pressure Equipment Directive (PED), Indian Boiler Regulations (IBR), South African Government Approved Authority, and Ministry of Manpower Singapore (MOM), amongst others.

With recent European Union expansion comes the advantage of opening new markets to manufacturers complying with the European Directives. Several future-applicant countries are also specifying compliance in anticipation of their entry into the EU. The incredible rate of growth in India, Asia, and other markets has resulted in significant increased demand for industrial equipment.

To enable Moody International to better service client needs, Moody has accelerated its investment in technical expertise and strengthened existing structures and capabilities to offer worldwide product certification. Unlike other organisations, Moody has taken the steps to ensure that the product certification offered enables a truly global market access and not just for any one country or region, hence improving market access for all clients.

Through the combination of acquisition, organic growth and strategic partnership, Moody is now able to offer product certification services internationally through local offices and field-based resources, enabling industrial equipment to be placed on the market or used within Europe, USA, India, Malaysia, and Singapore.

Some exciting developments to watch for in future include increased accreditations and services for the US statutory pressure equipment and general industrial market, widening of European Notified Body appointments and increased capability in all aspects of industrial plant certification, plus further development in accreditations and service capabilities in Indian and Asian markets. These developments will ensure that Moody is positioned as a market leader in the provision of International Compliance Management / Product Certification, irrespective of location or origin or final installation.

Whether it be advice or formal product certification related services, Moody International welcomes enquiry for all applications of electronic, electrical, mechanical and pressure related industrial equipment. For further information, please feel free to contact your local Moody International representative or Mr. Richard Dobson, Group Engineering Manager for the Industrial Product Certification division, r.dobson@moodyint.com.
