Petersen Approved Installer Scheme (PAIS)

For decades, Petersen has led the market in quality stainless steel rigging components. Now we are working with riggers across the world to recognise excellence and support the raising of standards in the industries we serve.

Our expert marine team has worked to develop the Petersen Approved Installer Scheme (PAIS). Through this scheme, we aim to be advocates for the provision of controlled and consistent swaged work through the development of our rigger approval scheme.*

PAIS is the only approval scheme for the marine rigging industry. Achieving accreditation from Petersen is proof that an installer meets our rigorous standards, and installs swaged fittings in accordance with the Petersen Approved Method of Swaging, which complies with BS EN 13411-8 Terminations for steel wire ropes. Safety. Swage terminals and swaging.

*Please note, the Petersen Approved Installer Scheme is a competence-based scheme; it is not a guarantee of work. Petersen shall not be liable for the failure of swages installed by Approved Installers, or losses or damaged caused by the incorrect use or installation of a Petersen part or product.
