This standard gives instructions for conducting tests and trials of new ships. These tests and trials are in addition to workshop tests. Consequently, the standard gives no instructions or guidance for such tests or surveys.
The rules and regulations of the Classification Societies and Statutory Requirements have not been expressed in detail but the procedures stated in the standard will nor-mally satisfy these requirements.
However, more extensive tests may be required with regard to such statutory requirements, rules and regulations as may be applicable to the individual ship concerned.
The standard may be referred to in building specifications for new ships. If no other agreement is made, it is under-stood that the result of the testing and trials of the man-datory items is recorded on printed forms.
