5、 FOR CERTIFICATION OF CONTAINER SECURING SYSTEMS .2010 iii Foreword Foreword This Guide replaces the 1988 Guide for Certification of Container Securing Systems on and after 1 November 2010. It has been revised to include the subsequent revisions and additions published in Notice No. 1, 2, 3, and 4 s
6、ince the original issue in 1988. It has been prepared by ABS with input and advice from industry. The content has been expanded to include recent developments in container securing systems. The certification of container securing systems is not a classification requirement. However, when requested b
7、y the Owner, ABS will issue certificates for container securing systems which have been constructed and installed according to the requirements of this Guide. Existing container securing systems which have not been constructed and installed to the requirements of the Guide will, at the request of th
8、e Owner, be subjected to a condition survey and plan review for compliance or equivalence with the Guide. The requirements are based on the SI units, and the values shown in U.S. (foot-pound-second) units are derived by numerical conversion. This Guide does not apply to containers on chassis or trai
9、lers stowed aboard vessels. iv ABSGUIDE FOR CERTIFICATION OF CONTAINER SECURING SYSTEMS .2010 Table of Contents GUIDE FOR CERTIFICATION OF CONTAINER SECURING SYSTEMS CONTENTS SECTION 1 Scope and Conditions of Certification . 1 1 Certification . 1 1.1 Process 1 1.3 Certificates and Reports 1 1.5 Repr

40、106 ABSGUIDE FOR CERTIFICATION OF CONTAINER SECURING SYSTEMS .2010 1 Section 1: Scope and Conditions of Certification SECTION 1 Scope and Conditions of Certification 1 Certification 1.1 Process The term certification, as used herein, indicates that the initial installation of container securing syst
41、ems aboard vessels have been designed, constructed, installed, and surveyed in compliance with this Guide, existing Rules and Guides or other acceptable standards. The certification process consists of: a) The development of Rules, Guides, standards, and other criteria for the design, construction,
42、and initial installation of container securing systems; b) The review of the design and survey during initial installation to verify compliance with such Rules, Guides, standards, or other criteria; c) The assignment and registration of certification when such compliance has been verified. The Rules
43、, Guides, and standards are developed by the ABS staff and passed upon 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 mariti
44、me and container industry. Theoretical research and development, established engineering 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 Ru
45、les and standards. For certification, the container securing systems are to comply with the applicable requirements of this Guide and all applicable Rules. 1.3 Certificates and Reports Review of design documentation and surveys during construction are conducted by ABS to verify to itself and its com
46、mittees that an item of material or equipment is in compliance 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. An approved copy of the container securi
47、ng manual, copies of the prototype and production test reports for the securing gear, and a copy of the Initial Installation Survey Certificate are to be carried aboard the vessel for use by the vessels personnel. 1.5 Representations as to Certification Certification is a representation by ABS as to
48、 the structural 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 engineer
49、s, Owners, operators, 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 through Surveyors or others who are believed by it to be skilled and competent.
