Assurance Reliability Compliance Pty Ltd

ARC-Assure is grateful for the opportunity to serve as an independent Work Safety Health (WSH) consultant during the oil spill cleanup across the affected sites in Singapore. Ensuring the highest standards of workplace health and safety has been essential in safeguarding the well-being of the frontliners involved throughout the cleanup phase. On the 2nd of October, we had the privilege of attending the Oil Spill Cleanup Appreciation Event, where our Regional Manager, Jonathan Shim, proudly accepted a Certificate of Appreciation on behalf of ARC-Assure from Minister for Sustainability and the Environment, Grace Fu. We are honored to be recognized for our contributions to this vital effort. A special mention goes to ARC-Assure project team members Brian Hayter and Kiwi Pang for their tireless commitment, exemplary efforts, and outstanding leadership throughout the project. #WorkplaceSafety #HealthAndSafety #OilSpillCleanup #ARC #Compliance #SafetyFirst #Singapore #SafeRoute #Assurance #Resilience

As an Integral Part of our ISO/IEC 17020 Accreditation; ARC wish to share our Impartiality Policy to our clients and industry peers. ISO/IEC 17020 specifies the requirements for competent bodies performing inspection activities. Inspection bodies such as ARC conduct our activities for the purpose of providing information to their clients, whether internal or external, on compliance with regulatory and/or contractual obligations. Asset-critical information demands more than ‘trust us’ assurances. Accreditation is a statement by an independent accreditation body that an inspection organisation has formally demonstrated its competence to carry out specific inspections; in ARCs case : Facility Condition and Acceptance Surveys & Scope of Validation (SoV).

Assurance Reliability Compliance (Australia) Pty Ltd, represented by "Jonathan Shim" (Regional Manager), was in attendance at the NATA Accreditation Matters 2024 event (25 & 26 June), held in Sydney. This gathering brought together industry leaders, experts, and assessors to discuss the latest in accreditation and quality assurance. We gained valuable insights into the evolving standards and best practices that are shaping industries in Australia and the growing demands for safe and responsible AI solutions. The discussions and sessions have equipped us with new strategies to enhance our services and ensure the highest level of compliance and safety for our clients, in Australia and abroad. Key takeaways from the event include: • Responsible and Safe AI: Emphasizing the importance of integrating AI technologies responsibly to enhance accuracy and efficiency while maintaining safety and ethical standards. • Future is Green and Digital: Understanding the critical shift towards sustainable practices and digital transformation, aligning with global efforts to create a greener, more sustainable future. We are committed to integrating these learnings into our Assurance solutions to drive impartiality in our assessment as an Independent Validation and Verification Organisation. #NATA2024 #Accreditation #QualityAssurance #OilAndGas #InspectionServices #ARC #ResponsibleAI #GreenFuture #DigitalTransformation

Our Regional Manager (Jonathan Shim) and Nuclear SME (Neil McNaughton. CEng. FIMarEST.) were at the New Nuclear for Maritime Summit last week, held in London and organized by CorePower UK Ltd. We had the first-hand opportunity to gain insights into Nuclear Energy and the ambition to integrate it into commercial maritime; it is a variation of clean energy that is not often spoken about but has proven to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions while ensuring energy security to meet future demands. Some key takeaways from the event: 1. Economic viability of new nuclear solutions is undeniably appealing, making it a compelling option for a sustainable zero-emission future. 2. Public perception of nuclear energy remains a challenge, with concerns lingering from historical disasters and association with weaponry. The joint industries, Nuclear and Maritime, need to actively address these concerns through transparent communication and a strong focus on safety. 3. Adoption in the maritime (and potentially other heavy industries) will require a clear roadmap for infrastructure, crew training, and regulatory guidelines. ARC-Assure champions safe and environmentally responsible energy solutions, paving a Safe Route to Maritime Decarbonisation and Energy Security. A big thank you to the organizers at CORE POWER (UK) Ltd and especially Tobi Menzies for chairing this well-run event! #nuclearmaritime #maritimeshipping #decarbonization #newnuclear "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." - Alan Kay (computer scientist)

Empirical evidence: Methane slip and NOx emissions are highest at the lowest engine loading.
