- Facility Approval subtypes include: Manufacturing, Service, Rental and Inspection facilities. If additional options are available, such as selecting a specific item of equipment, they will then appear.
- Product Approval subtypes are: Hardbanding and Internal Plastic Coating.
- Process Approval subtypes cover the application and re-application of products.
- Design Approval subtypes provide an option of Equipment Design or Rotary Connection Design.
Company searches allow you to select an individual company's Approval Certificates.

Additional services such as the application of hardbanding during the manufacturing process can also be added into your search.
