Introduction

The classification concept consists of the development and application of rules with regard to design, construction and survey of vessels.

The scope of classification requires that specified materials, components and systems intended for the vessel are certified according to the rules. The objective of certification is to ensure that materials, components and systems used in vessels to be classed by the Society comply with the rule requirements. This part of the classification scope is defined as the CMC (certification of materials and components) services.

The CMC services follow the classification concept as described in the rules.
