Our experienced personnel also support our training programs. They are actively participating in the environmental testing of products.
Dr. Ismail Cicek studied PhD in Mechanical Engineering Department at Texas Tech University in Texas, USA. He study included random vibration. He has both industrial and academic experience for over 30 years.
He gained engineering and leadership experience by working in the United States Department of Defence projects and programs as systems development engineer for 15 years. He led the development of various engineering systems for platforms including C-5, C-17, KC-10, KC-135, and C-130 E/H/J. Dr. Cicek’s experience includes unmanned aerial vehicle development where he utilized the Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Malfunction Data Recorder Analysis Recorder System (MADARS) development for military transport aircraft.
Dr Cicek worked as the lab chief engineer for five years at the US Air Force Aeromedical Test Lab at WPAFB, OH. He received many important awards at the positions he served, due to the excellent team-work and his detail oriented and energetic personality. These included Terra Health’s Superior Client Award in 2009 and Engineering Excellence Award in 2010 as well as an appreciation letter from the US Air Force Aeronautical Systems Center (ASC), signed by the commander in charge.
Dr Cicek also established a test lab, called Marine Equipment Test Center (METC) and located at Istanbul Technical University, Tuzla Campus, for testing of equipment per military and civilian standards, such as RTCA-DO-160. Providing engineering, consultancy, and training services to many companies and organizations, Dr. Cicek has gained a great insight into the tailoring of standard test methods in accordance with military standards, guides, and handbooks as well as Life Cycle Environmental Profile LCEP) developed for the equipment under test.
Dr. Cicek also completed various product and research projects, funded in the USA, EU, and Turkey. He is currently teaching at Istanbul Technical University Maritime Faculty, Tuzla/Istanbul. He is the founding manager of the METC in Tuzla Campus of ITU. Meanwhile, he provided engineering services, consultancies, and training to many organizations for product development, engineering research studies such a algorith development, test requirements development, and test plans and executions.
Dr Cicek worked as the Principle Investigator and became a Subject Matter Expert (SME) at the US Air Force Aeromedical Test Lab (WPAFB/OH) for certifying the products to the US Air Force Platform Requirements. He also developed Joint Enroute Care Equipment Test Standard (JECETS) in close work with US Army Test Lab engineers and managers.

Devices used onboard a ship are exposed to harsh electromagnetic environments, whether in the propulsion, deck or bridge area of a ship. Testing of such devices for Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) is therefore very important. Otherwise, manufacturers can face difficulties during the certification and procurement stages.
EMC testing and certification services to ensure your marine products comply with relevant international standards and regulations is a MUST!
GDS Engineering R&D does not perform these tests yet; however, have the information on design and test knowledge. The requirements include the international conventions as agreed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) for Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS).
Currently, we have observed that these tests are conducted by reputable agencies like ELEMENT.
The testing laboratories use the following standards to test the marine electronic, digital or electrical devices for certification to IMO SOLAS requirements, guidance, or recommendations:
IEC 60945
IEC 60533
Lloyds Register Test Spec No 1
DNV Certification Notes 2.4
IEC 60092

Support and guidance from the initial design stage
The use of composite materials in ship construction together with new radio technologies and high power electronics are changing the requirements and design goals that need to be achieved to ensure electromagnetic compatibility. Element is well placed with our knowledge of both standards and the target environment to provide detailed guidance of the best compliance strategies to adopt for your marine products.
CE Marking and Wheel Mark certification
Element performs EMC testing in conjunction with climatic and environmental test requirements to meet dedicated marine standards and be compliant with CE marking legislation. We make sure your marine equipment complies with the relevant EMC standards listed in the Marine Equipment Directive to help you achieve the Wheel Mark certification.
EMC test plans
Our test facilities for both EMC and environmental provide a comprehensive portfolio of tests to ensure that whatever your marine equipment is, and no matter where it’s located, we have a test solution that matches your needs.
Coordinated approach to testing for global market access
Our expertise comes from testing thousands of different products every year, and our industry-leading capacity allows us appropriate coordination of testing, so your marine equipment meets common standards of safety and performance across the EU and is accepted for entry into world markets.

Türkiye’nin ilk yerli can kurtarma ekipmanlarını üreten Vira Denizcilik yetkilileri ürünlerinin sertifikalandırma süreçlerini anlattılar.
İTÜ Denizcilik Fakültesi Gemi Makineleri İşletme Mühendisliği 4. sınıf öğrencileri Ali Mazlum Yıldız, Mert Kara, Fatih Mehmet Alkaç’ın haberi
Dünya ticaretinin büyük bir bölümü deniz üzerinden gemiler ile yapılmaktadır. Bu gemiler IMO çatısı altında belirli standartlarla donatılarak üretimi yapılmaktadır. Dünya denizcilik pazarında önemli bir yer edinen ve bu yeri her geçen yıl büyüterek devam eden ülkemiz yerli üreticileri hem sertifikasyon sürecinde hem de ürünün ilk yerli üretiminin getirdiği çeşitli zorluklar ile karşılaşmaktadırlar. Bu sertifikasyon sürecinde yerli üreticilerimizin yabancı üreticilere göre daha fazla zorluklar ile karşılaştığını söylemek mümkündür. Bu zorlukların üstesinden gelebilmek için konuyu detaylı bir şekilde incelemek önem arz ediyor.
Bu önemli konuda İTÜ Denizcilik Fakültesi Gemi Makineleri İşletme Mühendisliği öğrencileri olarak İsmail Çiçek hocamızın danışmanlığında yürütülen bir tez çalışması yaparak İTÜ Denizcilik Test Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi (İTÜ DETAM) çalışmaları kapsamında yürütülen ürün sertifikalandırma projelerini inceledik ve bu ürün çalışmalarının testleri konusundaki başarı öykülerinden birisini aktarmak istedik. Bu anlatımımızın ülkemizdeki başka firmalarımıza da örnek ve motivasyon sağlamasını umuyoruz.
İTÜ Denizcilik Fakültesi öğrencileri olarak tezimizin içeriğini de kapsayan bu konuda ülkemizde ilk yerli can kurtarma ekipmanları üretmeye başlayan ve yıllardır ürün yelpazesini arttırarak dünya denizcilik pazarında yer edinen Vira Denizcilik Genel Müdürü Selahattin Yılmaz ile yaptığımız röportajda şu konulara değindik.
– Vira Denizcilik olarak yerli üretime geçiş kararını nasıl aldınız?
Firmamız 1996’dan önce safety ekipmanlarını ithal ederek ülkemiz firmalarına ve yabancı firmalara bu ürünlerin satışını yapmaktaydı. Biliniyor ki safety ekipman denizcilik pazarının büyük bir bölümünü oluşturuyor. Firmamızın kurucusu olan Kapt. Selçuk Karakaş bu konudaki deneyimi ve bilgi birikimini kullanarak ülkemizde can kurtarma ekipmanlarının üretiminin yapılabileceğini düşündü. İki yıllık çalışma sürecinin ardından üretime başlanmıştır.
