DNV-RP-A203 Technology qualification

Recommended practice

Edition 2019-09 - Amended 2021-09

The objective of this recommended practice (RP) is to provide a systematic approach to technology qualification in a manner that ensures traceability throughout the process, from the determination of functions, targets and expectations to relevant failure modes, qualification activities and evidence.

Its aim is to ensure that the failure modes and the qualification activities are relevant and complete. This, in turn, should improve confidence in novel technology, and improve the likelihood of its commercialization.

Thus, this RP adds value by both facilitating the development of technology and by underpinning its business case.
