2、erved. ABS Plaza 16855 Northchase Drive Houston, TX 77060 USA Foreword Foreword ABS has produced this Guide for Habitability of Industrial Personnel on Offshore Accommodation Vessels in order to provide a single source for habitability criteria suitable for accommodation vessels. This Guide may be a

3、pplied to accommodation vessels providing accommodation to industrial personnel, excluding members of the crew, who are engaged in some aspect of coastal, offshore, or related employment. More specifically, this Guide may be applied to mobile offshore units (i.e., a self-elevating or column-stabiliz

4、ed mobile offshore units), non-self-propelled barges and offshore support vessels primarily intended for the accommodation of more than 36 persons who are industrial personnel, engaged in some aspect of coastal, offshore, or related employment, excluding members of the crew. In the case of an accomm

5、odation barge, it is intended to accommodate these persons only when the barge is moored or otherwise fixed on location. During transit, the accommodation barge will have on board only those crew members necessary for the transit operation. In the case of a self-elevating unit, during jacking or tow

6、ing operations, it is intended that the unit have on board only those crew members necessary for these operations. This Guide provides the assessment criteria and describes the measurement methodology for obtaining a Habitability notation. It is intended for use by Owners or companies requesting the

7、 optional notation of offshore accommodation Habitability HAB(ACCOM), offshore accommodation Habitability Plus HAB+(ACCOM), or offshore accommodation Habitability Plus Plus HAB+(ACCOM). For the HAB(ACCOM) level, this Guide focuses on five (5) categories of habitability criteria that can affect task

8、performance, safety and the quality of life. These categories can be controlled, measured, and assessed in personnel rest, and recreation areas of offshore accommodation vessel. These categories are: personnel accommodation area design, whole-body vibration, noise, indoor climate, and lighting. For

9、the HAB+(ACCOM) level, this Guide invokes more stringent accommodation area, whole-body vibration, and noise criteria aimed at increasing personnel comfort and safety. For the HAB+(ACCOM) level, there are more stringent accommodation area, whole-body vibration and noise criteria. To be awarded any o

10、f these notations, an offshore accommodation vessel must meet the appropriate prescriptive criteria across the various habitability categories. In addition to the HAB(ACCOM) notation assignment, at the Owners request, ABS may review the crew accommodation area design for compliance with the requirem

11、ents of the applicable ABS Guide for Crew Habitability as related to the HAB, HAB(WB), and HAB(MODU) notations as well as with the ILO MLC, 2006 Title 3 requirements, as related to the MLC-ACCOM notation. This Guide becomes effective on the first day of the month of publication. Users are advised to

12、 check periodically on the ABS website www.eagle.org to verify that this version of this Guide is the most current. We welcome your feedback.

34、e the various frequency components are adjusted according to the A-weighted values given in IEC 61672-1:2013 in order to account for the frequency response characteristics of the human ear. The symbol is LA; the unit is dB(A). The measurement LAeqis an equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure

35、 level, measured over a period of time. Calibration Checks: Field calibration of a measuring instrument conducted before and after a field test, using a reference calibrated signal or through zero calibration. Sound calibrators are to comply with the standard IEC 60942:2003, as amended, type/class (

36、1) standard and are to be approved by the manufacturer of the measuring instrument used. Dynamic Positioning: A system to automatically maintain an accommodation vessels position and heading by controlling propellers and/or thrusters. Dynamic positioning can maintain a position to a fixed point over

37、 the bottom, or in relation to a moving object (such as another vessel). It can also be used to position the vessel at a favorable angle towards wind, waves, and current. Equivalent Continuous A-weighted Sound Pressure Level: The A-weighted sound pressure level of a noise fluctuating over a period o

38、f time T, expressed as the amount of average energy. The symbol is LAeq; the unit is dB(A). ABSGUIDE FOR HABITABILITY OF INDUSTRIAL PERSONNEL ON ACCOMMODATION VESSELS .2017 29 Section 4 Noise Reference Calibration: Calibration of measuring instrument and sound calibrator, conducted at least every tw

39、o (2) years (or more frequently if specified by the manufacturer) by an accredited Testing and Calibration Laboratory accredited according to ISO 17025:2005, as amended, with traceability to a national or international standard. Transit Conditions: Those conditions where the vessel is transitioning

40、(moving) from one location to another by its own means of propulsion. Weighted Sound Reduction Index Rw: A single number value expressed in decibels (dB) which describes the overall sound insulation performance (in laboratory) of walls, doors or floors provides. 4 Associated Documentation The follow

44、tion (WMO) Manual on Codes, No. 306, Part A, Alphanumerical Codes (2011 Edition, Updated in 2014) 5 Criteria 5.1 Equivalent Continuous A-weighted Sound Pressure Level The noise criteria for the Habitability notations (HAB(ACCOM), HAB+(ACCOM), and HAB+(ACCOM) are provided in Section 4, Table 1, “Nois

45、e Criteria”. Noise levels are to be determined for the test conditions specified in 4/7.3, “Test Conditions” and are not to be exceeded. The maximum acceptable noise levels given in Section 4, Table 1, “Noise Criteria” are LAeqvalues, determined as appropriate to the character of the noise (see 4/7.

46、5, “Measurement Procedures and Recorded Results”). Noise measurements are only to be taken in industrial personnel accommodation spaces. Specific locations are referred to in 4/7.4, “Measurement Locations”. The noise criteria are only applicable under normal operating conditions (i.e., mooring, dyna

47、mic positioning, and/or transit) during which industrial personnel are accommodated onboard the vessel. 5.2 Acoustic Insulation The airborne sound insulation properties for bulkheads and decks within the accommodation are to comply at least with the weighted sound reduction index (Rw) according to I

48、SO 717-1:2013, provided in Section 4, Table 2, “Airborne Sound Insulation Criteria”. The airborne sound insulation properties are to be determined by laboratory tests in accordance with ISO 10140-2:2010 as identified in IMO Code on Noise. The manufacturer of the acoustic insulation is to provide the weighted sound reduction index (Rw) value and evidence of the laboratory test. 30 ABSGUIDE FOR HABITABILITY OF INDUSTRIAL PERSONNEL ON ACCOMMODATION VESSELS .2017
