Notes:
1 The above requirements are not applicable to piping systems intended for liquefied gases in cargo and process
areas.
2 The above requirements are also not applicable to cargo piping systems of vessels carrying chemicals in bulk.
3 Safeguards are measures undertaken to reduce leakage possibility and limiting its consequences, (e.g., double wall
piping or equivalent, or protective location of piping etc.)

7 Certification of Piping System Components

7.1 Piping Components


Piping components are to be certified in accordance with 4-6-1/Table 2 and the following.
7.1.1 ABS Certification
Where indicated as ‘required’ in 4-6-1/Table 2, the piping component is to be certified by ABS.
This involves design approval of the component, as applicable, and testing in accordance with the
standard of compliance at the manufacturer’s plant. Such components may also be accepted under
the Type Approval Program, see 4-6-1/7.5.
7.1.2 Design Approval
Design approval is a part of the ABS certification process and where indicated as ‘required’ in
4-6-1/Table 2, the piping components are to meet an applicable recognized standard, or are to be
design-approved by ABS. For the latter purpose, pipe fittings and valves are to be evaluated for their
adequacy for the rated pressures and temperatures, and, as applicable, type inspection and testing are to
be conducted as part of the design evaluation process. See also 4-6-1/7.5, 4-6-2/5 and 4-6-3/5.
7.1.3 Manufacturer’s Certification
Where indicated as ‘required’ in 4-6-1/Table 2, the manufacturer is to certify that the piping
component complies with the standard to which the component is designed, fabricated and tested,
and to report the results of tests so conducted. For Class III components, manufacturer’s trademark,
pressure/temperature rating and material identification, as applicable, stamped or cast on the
component and verifiable against the manufacturer’s catalog or similar documentation will suffice.
7.1.4 Identification
Where indicated as ‘permanent’ in 4-6-1/Table 2, the piping component is to bear permanent
identification, such as manufacturer’s name or trademark, standard of compliance, material identity,
pressure rating, etc., as required by the standard of compliance or the manufacturer’s specification.
Such markings may be cast or forged integral with, stamped on, or securely affixed by nameplate
on the component, and are to serve as a permanent means of identification of the component
throughout its service life.
Where indicated as ‘temporary’, the pipe is to have identification for traceability during fabrication.

4 Where not in compliance with a recognized standard.
5 Documentary proof of pressure/temperature rating is required. See 4-6-2/5.15.
6 Design of flexible hoses and mechanical pipe joints is to be approved in each case. See 4-6-2/5.7 and 4-6-2/5.9,
respectively.
