Hi Jon, Your correct, but I would like to add that some commercial jobs require the company and sub to be insured with at least liability insurance, if I remember correctly. To get the liability insurance I heard the insurance companies in the US and perhaps other place require them to have ABS or the like certification on the subs to be used.

However,
PVHO first arrived on the scene in 1977 and Delta was built in
1984.
Frank, a non-certified sub can work for
profit, it just can't take passengers. I've not seen any law or
regulation stopping you from doing work commercially in your own sub.
It won't hurt to confirm with them the certification status, and maybe a
short history of how/when they got a waiver if you don't mind
asking.
Jon
