The year 2016 edition of the Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels consists of the eleven (11) booklets as shown in T
5、able 1. In this regard, we would bring the following to the users attention: a) The purpose of the generic title ABS Rules for Conditions of Classification (Part 1) is to reflect the expanded contents of PART 1, as a result of including consolidated requirements for “Classification” applicable to al
6、l types of and sizes of vessels, barges and specific shipboard arrangements/systems, etc., except for those in offshore service, as specified in the Foreword to Part 1. b) The purpose of the generic title ABS Rules for Materials and Welding (Part 2) of PART 2 is to emphasize the common applicability
7、 of the requirements to ABS-classed vessels, other marine structures and their associated machinery, and thereby make PART 2 more readily a common “PART” of various ABS Rules and Guides, as appropriate. c) The purpose of the generic title ABS Rules for Survey After Construction (Part 7) is to reflec
8、t the expanded contents of PART 7, as a result of including consolidated requirements for “Surveys After Construction” applicable to all types and sizes of vessels, barges and specific shipboard arrangements/systems, etc., as specified in Part 7, Chapter 1, Section 1. 2. The numbering system applied
9、 in the Rules is shown in Table 2. 3. The primary changes from the 2015 edition of the Rules are identified and listed in Table 3. The effective date of the indicated Rule Changes is 1 January 2016, unless specifically indicated otherwise. 4. The effective date of each technical change since 1993 is
10、 shown in parenthesis at the end of the subsection/paragraph titles within the text of each Part. Unless a particular date and month are shown, the years in parentheses refer to the following effective dates: (2000) and after 1 January 2000 (and subsequent years) (1996) 9 May 1996 (1999) 12 May 1999
11、 (1995) 15 May 1995 (1998) 13 May 1998 (1994) 9 May 1994 (1997) 19 May 1997 (1993) 11 May 1993 For certain changes that have a major impact on shipyards, designers and vendors, ABS has instituted a two-year Rule cycle to give the industry more time to prepare for these changes. The text of these cha
12、nges will appear in a box along with the effective date just under the existing Rule requirement. 5. Until the next edition of the Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels is published, Rule Change Notices and/or Corrigenda, as necessary, will be published on the ABS website www. eagle.org only
13、, and will be available free for downloading. It is not intended to publish hard copies of future Rule Change Notices and/or Corrigenda to existing Rules or Guides. The consolidated edition of the Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels, which includes Rule Change Notices and/or Corrigenda usi
14、ng different colors for easy recognition, will be published on the ABS website only when Rule Change Notices and/or Corrigenda are issued. 6.
