Scope and application

These Construction rules apply additionally to automated machinery systems on naval ships as platform for military tasks, classified by the Society, which have one of the class notations in the class Certificate relating to the machinery system as listed under [5].

Special requirements for military sensors, weapons and tactical command systems are not subject of these rules.

These rules apply in addition to those of Electrical Installations Ch.3, with particular reference to Sec.10.

Approval may be given for designs which differ from the rules for Construction if they have been checked for suitability by the Society and accepted as being of equivalent design.

The Society reserves the right to specify additional requirements to the rules for construction where these are related to new systems or installations or where they are necessary due to new findings or practical experience.

Deviations from the rules for construction may be permitted in particularly justified instances.
