Classification Society
Non-governmental organization that
establishes and maintains technical
standards for the construction and operation
of ships and offshore structures
Classification Society
Classification societies set technical rules,
confirm that designs and calculations meet
these rules, survey ships and structures
during the process of construction and
commissioning, and periodically survey
vessels to ensure that they continue to meet
the rules. Classification societies are also
responsible for classing oil platforms, other
offshore structures, and submarines
Classification Society
A Classification Society is an organisation which:
1. publishes its own classification Rules (including technical requirements) in
relation to the design, construction and survey of ships, and has the capacity to
(a) apply, (b) maintain and (c) update those Rules and Regulations with its own
resources on a regular basis;
2. verifies compliance with these Rules during construction and periodically
during a classed ship's service life;
3. publishes a register of classed ships;
4. is not controlled by, and does not have interests in, ship-owners, shipbuilders
or others engaged commercially in the manufacture, equipping, repair or
operation of ships; and
5. is authorised by a Flag Administration as defined in SOLAS Chapter XI-1,
Regulation 1 and listed accordingly in the IMO database, Global Integrated
Shipping Information System (GISIS).
CLASSIFICATION SOCIETIES - IACS
IACS was founded on September 11, 1968,
in Hamburg, Germany
The
International Association of Classification Societies
(IACS) is a technically based organization consisting of thirteen
marine classification societies headquartered in London.
Marine classification is a system for promoting the safety of life,
property and the environment primarily through the
establishment and verification of compliance with technical and
engineering standards for the design, construction and life-
cycle maintenance of ships, offshore units and other marine-
related facilities. These standards are contained in rules
established by each Society. IACS provides a forum within
.
which the member societies can discuss, research and adopt
technical criteria that enhance maritime safety.
