3、ND CLASSING YACHTS .2016 Notices and General Information Introduction 1. The year 2016 edition of the Guide for Building and Classing Yachts consists of the nine (9) booklets as shown in Table 1. With regard to three booklets, Part 1, Part 2, and Part 7: a) The purpose of the generic title ABS Rules
4、 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 all types of and sizes of yachts. Additional specific requirements are contained in Chapters 2 and 3 of Part 1. b) The purpo
5、se of the generic title ABS Rules for Materials and Welding of PART 2 is to emphasize the common applicability 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
6、appropriate. c) The purpose of the generic title ABS Rules for Survey After Construction (Part 7) is to reflect 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 shipb
7、oard arrangements/systems, etc., as specified in Part 7, Chapter 1, Section 1. 2. The numbering system applied in the Rules is shown in Table 2. 3. The effective date of each technical change since 1993 is shown in parenthesis at the end of the subsection/paragraph titles within the text of each Par
8、t. 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 (1995) 15 May 1995 (1998) 13 May 1998 (1994) 9 May 1994 (1997) 19 May 1997 (1993) 11 May 1993
9、4. Until the next edition of the Guide for Building and Classing Yachts is published, Rule Change Notices and/or Corrigenda, as necessary, will be published on the ABS website www.eagle.org only, and will be available free for downloading. It is not intended to publish hard copies of future Rule Cha
10、nge Notices and/or Corrigenda to existing Rules or Guides.
