General
This document supersedes the July 2014 edition.
Text affected by the main changes in this edition is highlighted in red colour. However, if the changes involve
a whole chapter, section or sub-section, normally only the title will be in red colour.
Det Norske Veritas AS, company registration number 945 748 931, has on 27th November 2013 changed its
name to DNV GL AS. For further information, see www.dnvgl.com. Any reference in this document to
Det Norske Veritas AS or DNV shall therefore also be a reference to DNV GL AS.
Main changes July 2015, entering into force 1 January 2016

SECTION 1 GENERAL
A. Introduction
A 100 Introduction chapters
101
Among others, the Introduction Part 0 contains three chapters:
Chapter 1: User Information, Current Rule Chapters and Index

Chapter 2: Introduction to Classification
Chapter 3: Plan Approval Documentation Types Definitions.
They are included as guidance for the users and shall not be considered as parts of the rule requirements.
B. The rules
B 100 Purpose
101 The Rules lay down technical and procedural requirements related to obtaining and retaining a Class
Certificate. It is used as a contractual document and includes both requirements and acceptance criteria.
B 200 Rules parts
201 The Rules for Classification of High Speed, Light Craft and Naval Surface Craft are published in seven
parts (Pt.). Each part consists of chapters (Ch.) available as separate pdf files. The seven parts are:
Pt.1
Pt.2
Pt.3
Pt.4
Pt.5
Pt.6
Pt.7
Regulations
Materials and Welding
Structures, Equipment
Machinery and Systems - Equipment and Operation
Special Service and Type - Additional Class
Special Equipment and Systems - Additional Class
HSLC in Operation
Parts 1 and 2 contain general regulations, parts 3 to 6 cover newbuilding requirements and part 7 deals with
HSLC in operation.
An overview of current rule chapters is given in Sec.2 of this chapter.
B 300 Publication of the rules
301
The rules are available for free download as electronic pdf version through http://www.dnvgl.com.
B 400 Updating
401
The rules will normally be published twice yearly, in January and in July, due to updates.
402 If 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.dnvgl.com and the date of the column
A of Table 1 in Sec.2 will be updated.
403 If there is a need for amendments to the document; i.e. editorial and clarification corrections only, the
electronic file will be updated, but the edition date will be retained. However, a new Adobe PDF file will be
generated and made available through http://www.dnvgl.com. The date of the PDF file will appear in column
B of Table 1 in Sec.2.
404
The updates including amendments to each chapter will be described briefly on page 3 of that document.
B 500 Numbering and cross references

501
A combination of digits and letters is used for easy reference, e.g. Pt.3 Ch.1 Sec.1 A100.
Level

always a letter and a number
always a number
502 Figures are numbered in increasing order within each section, e.g. Fig.1, Fig.2 etc. The figure number
and title are given immediately under the figure.
503 Tables are numbered in increasing order within each sub-section, e.g. Table A1, Table A2 etc. The table
number and title are placed in the top left hand corner of the table.
504 Each chapter is written as self-contained as possible. Cross references are generally given at the highest
level 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) From chapter to chapter within the same part, e.g. see Ch.1 Sec.3 (i.e. down to section). Reference to
subsection, 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 A103
e.g. within a subsection, see 103.
B 600 Definitions
601 Symbols and terms are in general defined at one of three levels in the rules. A definition given at higher
level 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.
602 The first (higher) level of definitions is given in a separate sub-section in Sec.1 of the chapter in which
the symbol or term is used. This level defines symbols and terms which are generally applied in the chapter or
booklet.
603 The second (intermediate) level of definitions is given in sub-section A of the section in which the
symbol or term is used. This level normally defines symbols and terms occurring in various connections within
the section.
604 The third (lower) level of definitions is given in connection with the formula or expression in which the
symbol or term is used. The definition is normally given immediately following the formula and in any case
within the same item as the formula.
B 700 Units
701 The units generally used in the rules are the SI-units (International System of Units). Commonly used
base 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 used
these are particularly stated.

B 800 Indexes and tables of contents

801 Systematic index has been prepared for the complete rules and presented in Sec.3.
The systematic index gives reference to sections and subsections within each part and chapter. The master
index will be updated as required when chapters are revised.
802 A table of contents is given within each chapter providing a complete list of sections, appendices and
sub-sections and their respective page numbers.
C. Service documents other than Rules for Ships and HSLC/NSC

C 100 General
101 In an effort to aid the various parties involved in the classification of ships, the Society has issued a
number of supporting publications which are described on our web site; http://www.dnvgl.com.
D. Other DNV rules

D 100 General
101 DNV has developed and publish rules for objects other than ships. Reference is made to
