SECTION 1 CLASS NOTATIONS

1 General

1.1 Introduction

1.1.1 All vessels classed with the Society may be assigned

— construction symbol— main class notation— ship type notation— additional class notation— service area notation— descriptive notation

as applicable.

1.1.2 Class notations are assigned in order to determine applicable rule requirements for assignment andretention of class. Applicable class notations are given in Sec.2 to Sec.6.

1.1.3 Class notations are either mandatory or optional. The mandatory class notations are indicated in thetables given in Sec.2 to Sec.5.

1.1.4 In accordance with Ch.1 Sec.1 [2.2.5] optional class notations from the Society's other rule booksmay, upon special consideration, be assigned to a vessel complying with those rules.

1.1.5 Class notations may be given one or more qualifiers which are supplementary symbols used to identifyvariants of the class notation or a design parameter. Qualifiers typically denote differences in levels ofcomplexity and/or special requirements or limitations, and may be assigned additional requirements.Qualifiers follow immediately after a class notation and are indicated in parenthesis. Multiple qualifiers areseparated by comma and space.

1.1.6 Class notations and qualifiers are shown in bold. See Table 1 for examples of class notations andqualifiers.

1.1.7 The Tables in Sec.2 to Sec.5 include the following information:

— name of class notation— indication of class notation being mandatory— reference to design requirements*— reference to survey requirements for fleet in service (FiS)*— qualifiers as relevant— purpose of class notation— application, giving additional information on when and/or where a class notation can be applied and/or

under what condition a class notation is mandatory.

* NA indicates no requirements.

SECTION 2 CONSTRUCTION SYMBOL AND MAIN CLASS NOTATION

1 Construction symbols

1.1 General

1.1.1 The construction symbol ✠ will be assigned to vessels built under the supervision of the Society.

1.1.2 The construction symbol will be assigned to vessels built under the supervision of a classificationsociety recognized by the Society and later assigned class with the Society. For such vessels the classnotations which the Society considers to have the equivalent intent will be assigned.

1.1.3 Vessels other than those described in [1.1.1] and [1.1.2] will not be assigned a construction symbolwhen classed with the Society.

2 Main class notation

2.1 General

2.1.1 The main class notation 1A will be assigned to vessels with hull, machinery, systems and equipmentfound to be in compliance with applicable rule requirements as given in Pt.2, Pt.3 and Pt.4. Requirementsgiven by ship type notations and additional class notations may supersede the requirements given in Pt.2,Pt.3 and Pt.4. In such cases the main class notation 1A will still be assigned.

2.1.2 The main class notation 1A will also be assigned to vessels designed and constructed in accordancewith the rules of another classification society, and later assigned class with the Society.
