It is used as a contractual document and includes both requirements and acceptance criteria.B 200 Rules parts201The Rules for Classification of Ships are published in parts (Pt.) as shown below. Each part consists ofchapters (Ch.) available as separate pdf files.Pt.1 and Pt.2 contain general regulations, Pt.3 to Pt.6 cover newbuilding requirements and Pt.7 deals with shipsin operation. IACS Common Structural Rules for Bulk Carriers and Oil Tankers (CSR) includes requirementsfor double hull oil tankers and bulk carriers. A review of updated rule chapters is given in Sec.2 of this chapter.202ThefirstsectionineachchapterwillnormallybetermedGeneralrequirementsandwillcontainsubsectionscoveringsuchaspectsasapplicationoftherules,definitionsofsymbolsandterms,listofdocumentation etc.B 300 Publication of the rules301The rules are available for free download as electronic pdf version through http://www.dnv.com. A list ofall DNV publications can be found on the same site. B 400 Updating401The rules will normally be published twice yearly, in January and in July, due to updates.402If a chapter has been updated, the document will normally be given a new edition date. The corresponding Adobe PDF file will be made available through http://www.dnv.com and the date of the columnA of Table 1 in Sec.2 will be updated.403Ifthereisaneedforamendmentstothedocument;i.e.editorialandclarificationcorrectionsonly,theelectronic file will be updated, but the edition date will be retained. However, a new Adobe PDF file will be generatedand made available through http://www.dnv.com.

Cross references are generally given at the highestlevel consistent with feasibility to find the subject matter:a) From part to part, e.g. see Pt.2 Ch.1 (i.e. down to chapter).b) Fromchaptertochapterwithinthesamepart,e.g.seeCh.1Sec.3(i.e.downtosection).Referencetosubsection, e.g. Ch.1 Sec.3 A may be used where necessary for clarity.c) Within a chapter,e.g. section to section, see Sec.4 A100 (i.e. down to item)e.g. within a section, see A103e.g. within a subsection, see 103.B 600 Definitions601Symbols and terms are in general defined at one of three levels in the rules. A definition given at higherlevel is normally not repeated at a lower level, and references are not made to the definitions at higher level.When a symbol or term is defined elsewhere than in any of the three general levels, proper reference is made.602The first (higher) level of definitions is given in a separate subsection in Sec.1 of the chapter in whichthe symbol or term is used. This level defines symbols and terms which are generally applied in the chapter orbooklet.603The second (intermediate) level of definitions is given in subsection A of the section in which the symbolor term is used. This level normally defines symbols and terms occurring in various connections within thesection.604The third (lower) level of definitions is given in connection with the formula or expression in which thesymbol or term is used. The definition is normally given immediately following the formula and in any casewithin the same item as the formula.B 700 Units701The units generally used in the rules are the SI-units (International System of Units). Commonly usedbase and multiple units are given in Table B1. Some derived units and their conversion relation to the TS-units(Technical Metric System of Units) are given in Tables B2 and B3, respectively. When other units are usedthese are particularly stated.Level Reference example PrinciplePart ChapterSectionPt.3 Ch.1Sec.1always a numberSub-section A always a letterSub-section element A100 always a letter and a numberItem 101 always a numberTable B1 Base or multiple SI-unitsQuantity Symbol NameLength m cmmmmetre centimetremillimetreMass kg tkilogram tonneTime s secondElectric current A ampereRules for Ships, January 2015 Pt.0 Ch.1 Sec.1 GeneralPage 7DET NORSKE VERITAS ASB 800 Index and table of contents801A master index has been prepared for the complete rules in the form of a systematic index, see Sec.3.Thesystematicindexgivesreferencetosectionsandsubsectionswithineachpartandchapter.Themasterindex will be updated as required when chapters are revised.802A table of contents is given within each chapter providing a complete list of sections, appendices andsub-sections and their respective page numbers.C.
