Classification society Explanation: Today there are a number of classification societies, the largest of which are Bureau Veritas, the American Bureau of Shipping, Lloyd's Register and DNV GL.[6] Classification societies employ ship surveyors, material engineers, piping engineers, mechanical engineers, chemical engineers and electrical engineers, often located at ports and office buildings around the world. Marine vessels and structures are classified according to the soundness of their structure and design for the purpose of the vessel. The classification rules are designed to ensure an acceptable degree of stability, safety, environmental impact, etc. In particular, classification societies may be authorised to inspect ships, oil rigs, submarines, and other marine structures and issue certificates on behalf of the state under whose flag the ships are registered. As well as providing classification and certification services, the larger societies also conduct research at their own research facilities in order to improve the effectiveness of their rules and to investigate the safety of new innovations in shipbuilding. A classification society is a non-governmental organization that establishes and maintains technical standards for the construction and operation of ships and offshore structures. The society will also validate that construction is according to these standards and carry out regular surveys in service to ensure compliance with the standards. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classification_society -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2016-09-13 06:59:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Called Ente di classificazione navale in Italian https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ente_di_classificazione_navale Questo e`quello che fanno, percio sarrano loro che dovranno approvare un impianto di sentina. La certificazione consiste nel verificare la conformità dei natanti e delle loro attrezzature ai regolamenti nazionali e interazionali relativi alla classe di appartenenza: la verifica positiva viene formalizzata dal rilascio di un certificato. L'ente verifica innanzitutto che i disegni e i calcoli siano rispondenti alle regole; poi controlla che la costruzione corrisponda al progetto; infine ispeziona periodicamente che il natante risponda sempre ai requisiti della sua classe, altrimenti il certificato perderà validità. Per far svolgere tutti questi controlli l'armatore della nave stipula un contratto con l'ente di classificazione. |
