Introduction

Application 

The rules of this chapter apply to the main elements of machinery and systems which are common for the different systems of underwater technology. Further characteristic requirements of the different systems are defined in the chapters of Pt.5. 

This part applies to all UWT systems as listed in Pt.1 and described in Pt.5, like manned hyperbaric systems including diving simulators for training of divers and for investigations of new underwater technologies. Furthermore, it applies to manned and unmanned underwater vehicles (ROV, AUV) as well as to underwater working machines.
