31、iance and its equipment have been designed, constructed, installed and surveyed in compliance with this Guide, existing Rules and Guides or other acceptable standards. The continuance of certification is dependent on the fulfillment of requirements for surveys after construction. The certification p
32、rocess consists of: a) The development of Rules, Guides, standards and other criteria for the design, construction, installation and maintenance of lifting appliances and their equipment; b) The review of the design and survey during and after construction to verify compliance with such Rules, Guide
33、s, standards or other criteria; c) The assignment and registration of certification when such compliance has been verified, and; d) The issuance of a renewable certificate, with annual endorsements, valid for five years. The Rules, Guides and standards are developed by the ABS staff and passed upon
34、by committees made up of naval architects, ocean and marine engineers, shipbuilders, engine builders, steel makers, process engineers and by other technical, operating and scientific personnel associated with the worldwide maritime industry. Theoretical research and development, established engineer
35、ing disciplines, as well as satisfactory service experience are utilized in their development and promulgation. ABS and its committees can act only upon such theoretical and practical considerations in developing Rules and standards. For Certification, the lifting appliance and its equipment are to
36、comply with the applicable requirements of this Guide and all applicable Rules. 3 Certificates and Reports Review of design documentation and surveys during and after construction are conducted by ABS to verify to itself and its committees that an item of material, equipment or machinery is in compl
37、iance with this Guide and is to the satisfaction of the attending Surveyor. All reports and certificates are issued solely for the use of ABS, its committees, its clients and other authorized entities. 5 Representations as to Certification Certification is a representation by ABS as to the structura
38、l and mechanical fitness for a particular use or service, in accordance with its Rules, Guides and standards. The Rules and Guides of the American Bureau of Shipping are not meant as a substitute for the independent judgment of professional designers, naval architects, marine engineers, owners, oper
39、ators, masters and crew, nor as a substitute for the quality control procedures of ship and platform builders, engine builders, steel makers, suppliers, manufacturers and sellers of marine vessels, materials, system components, machinery or equipment. ABS, being a technical society, can only act thr
40、ough Surveyors or others who are believed by it to be skilled and competent. ABSGUIDE FOR CERTIFICATION OF LIFTING APPLIANCES .2016 3 Chapter 1 Conditions of Certification Section 1 Scope and Conditions of Certification 1-1 ABS represents solely to the Lifting Appliance manufacturer or other clients
41、 of ABS that when certifying, it will use due diligence in the development of Rules, Guides and standards, and in using normally applied testing standards, procedures and techniques as called for by the Rules, Guides, standards or other criteria of ABS. ABS further represents to the Owner or other C
42、lients of ABS that its certificates and reports evidence compliance only with one or more of the Rules, Guides, standards or other criteria of ABS, in accordance with the terms of such certificate or report. Under no circumstances whatsoever are these representations to be deemed to relate to any th
43、ird party. The user of this document is responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and other governmental directives and orders related to a vessel, its machinery and equipment, or their operation. Nothing contained in any Rule, Guide, standard, certificate or report i
44、ssued by ABS shall be deemed to relieve any other entity of its duty or responsibility to comply with all applicable laws, including those related to the environment. 7 Scope of Certification Nothing contained in any certificate or report is to be deemed to relieve any designer, builder, owner, manu
45、facturer, seller, supplier, repairer, operator, other entity or person of any duty to inspect or any other duty or warranty expressed or implied. Any certificate or report evidences compliance only with one or more of the Rules, Guides, standards or other criteria of the American Bureau of Shipping,
46、 and is issued solely for the use of ABS, its Committees, its clients or other authorized entities. Nothing contained in any certificate, report, plan or document review or approval is to be deemed to be in any way a representation or statement beyond those contained in 1-1/5. ABS is not an insurer
47、or guarantor of the integrity or safety of a vessel or of any of its equipment or machinery. The validity, applicability and interpretation of any certificate, report, plan or document review or approval are governed by the Rules, Guides and standards of the American Bureau of Shipping, who shall re
48、main the sole judge thereof. ABS is not responsible for the consequences arising from the use by other parties of the Rules, Guides, standards or other criteria of the American Bureau of Shipping, without review, plan approval and survey by ABS. The term “approved” is to be interpreted to mean that
49、the plans, reports or documents have been reviewed for compliance with one or more of the Rules, Guides, standards or other criteria acceptable to ABS. This Guide is published with the understanding that responsibility for reasonable handling and loading operations, beyond the limit specified in the lifting appliance design basis, does not rest upon the Committee. 9 Class Notations (1 July 2016) 9.1 CRC (Crane and Lifting Appliances Register Certificate) Notation A vessel or unit classed by ABS for which an ABS Register of Lifting Appliances is issued under the provis
