General

Convention text (statutory requirements) has been removed from the rules.

The most critical safety requirements, focusing on requirements closely connected to the traditional scope of classification, have been retained. The revised rules clearly define what is included in the scope of class and statutory services.

Some previous practices in the rules have also been changed:

— Statutory text that has been adopted in the rules will now be written in normal font (non-italics), however a reference corresponding to the statutory regulation will be given.

— Adopting statutory requirements by reference alone will not be used.

— Some statutory requirements outside the new scope of class, but important to consider in accordance with rules, are referred to in Guidance Notes.
