DNV GL NAVAL SHIP TECHNOLOGY III-2-2 PDF

The following requirements apply to the construction of unmanned ROVs which are to be certified by GL, including their control and monitoring devices and the means necessary for launching and recovering the ROV

The Rules of construction, taken as a whole, encompass the range of systems and equipment for large working ROVs.

For smaller ROVs and for such as contain only a portion of the systems and equipment described below, the Rules apply only to the extent warranted by the type and equipment of the ROV. The documents to be submitted and the tests to be performed are reduced accordingly.

Designs deviating from the Rules of constructions can be approved if they have been recognized as equivalent by GL.

For ROVs or part thereof, the development of which is based on novel principles and which have not yet been sufficiently proved in practical operation. GL, acting in agreement with the manufacturer, is entitled to demand the presentation of additional documents and the performance of special trials.

National regulations which exist apart from the GL Rules are unaffected.
