Registered Design
The standard specification of Aquasign® subsea markers has successfully been registered in accordance with the Registered Designs Act 1949. There are no equivalents to our Aquasign® subsea marking solution, therefore our Registered Design allows our customers to feel confident that they receive a quality, fit for purpose product, in accordance with their project specification.
An integral part of our Registered Design and way to easily recognise an Aquasign® subsea marker, is the introduction of curved corners aiding the installation process of our Biohesive® 225 sealing bead. For more information, see our KISS®self-adhesive label page.
