TLS Offshore Containers International stands at the forefront of offshore container manufacturing by offering a range of pressurised containers that meet the highest safety and quality standards. These containers, including mud logging cabins, MWD (Measurement While Drilling) units, and laboratory containers, are designed to ensure safety and reliability in the challenging conditions of offshore environments.

Comprehensive CertificationEach container provided by TLS is certified to comply with the DNV2.7-1 and IEC60079-13 standards, which are crucial for operational safety in offshore and hazardous environments. These certifications guarantee that the containers are suitable for use in Zone 1 and Zone 2 areas where flammable gases and hazardous atmospheres are present.
Attestation and Safety FeaturesThe attestation process for TLS’s pressurised offshore containers involves rigorous testing and evaluation by Bureau Veritas, a globally recognized certification agency. This ensures that every aspect of the container meets the strict requirements set out in the international standards.
  1. Document Review: Initial evaluations focus on verifying that the container designs and materials meet specific safety standards. This includes an in-depth review of the Type Approval Certificates and fire test reports for the fire protection materials, as well as the explosion-proof certifications of electrical equipment.
  2. Visual and Physical Inspections: Thorough inspections are conducted to ensure that all installed components, such as electrical systems and fire protection materials, adhere strictly to manufacturing specifications.
  3. Fire and Explosion Safety Testing:
    • Fire Protection Measures: The effectiveness of fire protection materials is verified against their type-approved fire test reports to ensure high performance in containing and isolating fires.
    • Explosion Protection Compliance: Pressurisation tests confirm that the containers meet the required standards for explosion protection, essential for safety in explosive gas atmospheres.
  4. Operational Safety Tests:
    • Detection Systems: Both fire and flammable gas detection systems are rigorously tested to confirm their functionality and reliability, crucial for early detection and safety.

The successful completion of these tests culminates in the issuance of DNV2.7-1 and IEC60079-13 certificates, affirming the container's compliance with international safety standards.

​TLS Offshore Containers International’s commitment to safety is reflected in their meticulous adherence to international standards and rigorous testing procedures. Their pressurised offshore containers are built to offer unmatched reliability and safety, making them ideal for critical operations in hazardous conditions.
