Precision is non-negotiable in underwater inspections. Whether assessing offshore infrastructure, conducting oil and gas inspections, or surveying marine environments, data accuracy is the foundation for informed decision-making. The Voyis Discovery Stereo Camera’s Bureau Veritas (BV) certification is more than just a validation—it’s a testament to the reliability and precision that customers can trust in real-world applications. 

Meeting Industry Standards with Confidence 

Industry regulations and operational standards are constantly evolving, demanding increasingly rigorous validation of inspection technologies. BV certification assures that the Discovery Stereo Camera meets globally recognized accuracy standards, giving operators a certified tool that aligns with industry best practices. By integrating a BV-certified camera into their workflows, companies can demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements and enhance the credibility of their inspection reports. 

Minimizing Risk, Maximizing Efficiency 

When deploying an optical sensor for critical underwater inspections, confidence in the data is paramount. A BV-certified Discovery Stereo Camera provides assurance that the collected data is not only precise but also repeatable, reducing the risk of errors that could lead to costly rework or missed defects. This certification streamlines survey planning by eliminating concerns about data integrity, allowing teams to focus on operational efficiency rather than questioning sensor accuracy.

Elevating Underwater Inspection Standards 

In industries such as offshore energy, marine research, civil infrastructure and defense, where inspections must deliver high-resolution, reliable data, a BV-certified system ensures that asset integrity assessments, structural monitoring, and seabed surveys are executed with the highest level of precision. By validating the camera’s accuracy, BV certification helps inspection teams maintain a consistent standard, improving the quality of data-driven decision-making. 

A New Benchmark for Underwater Imaging 

The Discovery Stereo Camera’s BV certification is not just about achieving a standard—it’s about setting a new benchmark for underwater optical inspection. With this validation, Voyis reinforces its commitment to delivering cutting-edge imaging solutions that meet and exceed industry expectations. Customers can trust that every unit is built to the same rigorous calibration standards, ensuring consistent, high-accuracy results in any deployment scenario. 

By choosing a BV-certified solution, operators gain more than just a high-performance camera—they gain the certainty that their inspections are backed by independently validated precision, ensuring reliable, actionable insights from every dive. 

Real-World Impact: Offshore Energy Success Story 

One offshore energy inspection company recently partnered with Voyis and integrated the BV-certified Discovery Stereo Vision System into their subsea inspection workflows, significantly improving operational efficiency. Previously, their inspection teams faced challenges in verifying asset integrity due to inconsistent imaging results and the need to use scale bars during subsea inspections to improve accuracy. 

With the certified camera, they now capture highly accurate, repeatable data, reducing uncertainty and enabling proactive maintenance planning. This has led to fewer inspection delays, improved regulatory compliance, and a more streamlined approach to offshore asset monitoring. The confidence gained from BV certification has transformed their inspection processes, proving the value of independently validated precision.
