Its the responsibilty of the ‘Owner, or of the Operator if distinct fom the Owner, to ascertain that the said procedures and their implementa~ tion satisfy the design criteria ofthe unit and the design ofthe related equipment For permanent units, above procedures are only consid- fered in s0 far as they could affect the safety or integrity of completed installation on sit. + For other classification limits applicable to operating procedures, refer to Par B, Chapter 2 6 re venti ronson 1.35 Classification restrictions When the design data and assumptions specified by the party apolying for classification do not comply with the applicable Rule requirements, restrictions may be placed ‘upon the unit’ class When deemed necessary, restrictions may be placed on the duration of the operating life ofthe unit Class restrictions, if any are to be endorsed as 2 Memoran- dum and are to be incomparated in the Operating Manual prescribed in (3.4), 1.4 Request for services 1.4.1. Requests for interventions by the Society, such as sur veys during construction, surveys of units in service, tests, fc., ate in principle to be submitted in writing and signed by the interested Paty. Such request implies that the appli- cant will abide by all the relevant requirements of he Rules, including the Marine Division General Conditions. The Society reserves the right o refuse or wither the class fof any unit for which any applicable requirement of the Rules isnot complied with, 1.5 Register 41.5.1. A Register is published periodically by the Society ‘This publication, which is updated by the Society, contains the names of units which have received the Certificate of Classification, as well as particulars of the class assigned and information conceming each unit 1.6 Design Criteria Statement 1.6.1 General Classification is based upon the design data or assumptions specified by the party applying for classification [A Design Criteria Statement is to list the services) pe formed by the unit and the design conditions and other assumptions on the basis af which class is assigned to the unit ‘he Design Criteria Statement is issued by the Society, based on inomaton proved by he pay applying fr “The Design Criteria Statement isto be referred to in a Mem orandum, The Design Criteria Statement isto be incorporated in the (Operating Manual as prescribed in [3.4 1.62 Unit's activities ‘The Design Criteria Statement isto ist the main services for which the unit i designed, the service notation and other rotations assigned tothe unit, The nature of the unit's activity is 0 be duly accounted for inthe application of the present Rules, as fa as classifica, tion is concerned, The Design Criteria Statement is to mention when the unit is, or is part of, a permanent unit, and will make reference to the applicable ste data1.6.3 Structural design erkteria ‘The Design Criteria Statement is to list the necessary data pertaining to the structural design of the unt forthe die tent conditions of operation of the unit, according to provi sions of Par B, Chapter 2 Note Transit of non sel propelled unt is covered by classifies tion as sega nly the units structural overall and lca strength asvell as sabi All the aspects relating 1 owing re reviewed nly on special request for a towage survey Note 2: As regards design ofthe foundations of equipment lassi cation i based upon the data suites bythe party applying for ‘cassication, under the format called for by the Roles 1.6.4 Machinery, electrical and other system design conditions ‘The party applying for classification is to submit the necessary description, diagrammatic plans, design data of all systems, including those used soley for the service (ling, pipelay: ing lifting, et.) performed bythe unit and, where applicable, their cross connections with other systems.
