An electronic library of technical resolutions
The International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) has released the new version of its Blue Book – an electronic library of technical resolutions (both past and present) adopted by IACS as a result of its technical work.
Sections include:
- IACS Unified Requirements which IACS members incorporate into their Rules
- Unified Interpretations of IMO convention requirements which IACS Members apply uniformly when acting on behalf of authorising flag Administrations, unless instructed otherwise
- Procedural Requirements governing practices among IACS Members
- IACS Charter and IACS Procedures which define the purpose, aim and working procedures of the Association
- Recommendations relating to adopted resolutions that are not necessarily matters of Class but which IACS considers would be helpful to offer some advice to the marine industry
- UR – Unified Requirements Status advising on implementation status
- UR HF & TB containing the History and Technical Background files for the Unified Requirements
- Quality Documents containing QSCS (IACS’ Quality System Certification Scheme) description, Quality Management System Requirements, Audit Requirements, ACB (Accredited Certification Bodies) requirements and other quality procedures
