13、s 1 January of the year shown. Note Regarding the Changes to Section 1 (1 January 2008) In 2008, Section 1, “Conditions of Classification” was consolidated into a generic booklet, entitled Rules for Conditions of Classification (Part 1) for all vessels other than those in offshore service. The purpo
14、se of this consolidation was to emphasize the common applicability of the classification requirements in “Section 1” to ABS-classed vessels, other marine structures and their associated machinery, and thereby make “Conditions of Classification” more readily a common Rule of the various ABS Rules and
15、 Guides, as appropriate. Thus, Section 1 of these Rules specifies only the unique requirements applicable to underwater vehicles, systems and hyperbaric facilities. These supplemental requirements are always to be used with the aforementioned Rules for Conditions of Classification (Part 1). ABSRULES
