General

These rules define acceptance criteria for design, construction, survey and testing of naval surface vessels, their machinery installation, systems and equipment, applicable to the newbuilding and operational phase (military systems are excluded).

By assigning class to a naval surface vessel it shall be understood that the navy will utilise the Society’s quality assurance system for the design, fabrication and operation of the vessel (military systems excluded). The system will in no way replace the navy’s responsibility towards national authorities and international maritime conventions.
