CMCE Marine is the Only Lightning Protection System Certified by RINA

RINA, or Registro Italiano Navale, is a global leader in ship classification, certification, inspection, and consulting engineering. With a history dating back more than 160 years, RINA is recognized for its rigorous standards in safety, environmental sustainability, and engineering quality. RINA’s Type Approval System is a comprehensive evaluation process that verifies a product’s design, construction, and performance according to international standards and regulatory requirements. Earning RINA Type Approval is a distinction that confirms a product’s technical integrity, durability, and safety for use in marine environments. 

CMCE Marine Achieves RINA Certification 

We are proud to announce that the CMCE Marine Lightning Suppressor is the only lightning protection system to be certified by RINA under Certificate No. ELE281223XG. This certification reinforces the credibility, safety, and technical effectiveness of the CMCE device in marine applications—from commercial vessels and private yachts to offshore platforms and coastal infrastructure. 

Unlike traditional lightning rods that attempt to manage a lightning strike after it begins, the CMCE Lightning Suppressor prevents lightning strike formation over the protected area altogether. This proactive protection makes it especially valuable in the high-risk, high-exposure environment of the open sea. 

Lightning at sea poses unique dangers—navigation systems, communication equipment, and propulsion systems are all vulnerable. Having a RINA-certified solution offers peace of mind to ship owners, captains, and marine engineers alike. It means the CMCE Marine system has passed stringent testing for design, reliability, and performance in marine-specific conditions. 

With the CMCE Marine Lightning Suppressor, vessels and marine installations can now benefit from innovative lightning protection that meets the highest international standards. 

The RINA certification of the CMCE Marine system sets a new benchmark in maritime lightning protection. As the only lightning protection technology with this level of recognition, CMCE Marine continues to lead the industry in safety, reliability, and innovation. Whether you're safeguarding a superyacht or an offshore facility, trust the only system that has been tested and approved by one of the most respected classification societies in the world.
