GENERAL CONDITIONS
ARTICLE 1
1.1. - BUREAU VERITAS is a Society the purpose of whose Marine & Offshore Division (the "Society") is
the classification (" Classification ") of any ship or vessel or offshore unit or structure of any type or part of
it or system therein collectively hereinafter referred to as a "Unit" whether linked to shore, river bed or sea
bed or not, whether operated or located at sea or in inland waters or partly on land, including submarines,
hovercrafts, drilling rigs, offshore installations of any type and of any purpose, their related and ancillary
equipment, subsea or not, such as well head and pipelines, mooring legs and mooring points or otherwise
as decided by the Society.
The Society:
• "prepares and publishes Rules for classification, Guidance Notes and other documents (" Rules ");
• "issues Certificates, Attestations and Reports following its interventions (" Certificates ");
• "publishes Registers.
1.2. - The Society also participates in the application of National and International Regulations or Standards, in particular by delegation from different Governments. Those activities are hereafter collectively referred to as " Certification ".
1.3. - The Society can also provide services related to Classification and Certification such as ship and
company safety management certification; ship and port security certification, training activities; all activities and duties incidental thereto such as documentation on any supporting means, software, instrumentation, measurements, tests and trials on board.
1.4. - The interventions mentioned in 1.1., 1.2. and 1.3. are referred to as " Services ". The party and/or its

obligations by the interventions of the Society.
ARTICLE 2
2.1. - Classification is the appraisement given by the Society for its Client, at a certain date, following surveys by its Surveyors along the lines specified in Articles 3 and 4 hereafter on the level of compliance of
a Unit to its Rules or part of them. This appraisement is represented by a class entered on the Certificates
and periodically transcribed in the Society's Register.
2.2. - Certification is carried out by the Society along the same lines as set out in Articles 3 and 4 hereafter
and with reference to the applicable National and International Regulations or Standards.

the Unit for surveys and to inform the Society without delay of circumstances which may affect the
given appraisement or cause to modify its scope.

Tightness test, for concerning pipes, is to be carried out
with air or an inert gas at a pressure of 1 bar above atmospheric pressure
Leak test, for concerning pipes, is to be carried out at a
pressure of 0,15 bar above atmospheric pressure
Gastightness, tightness and leak tests for the pipes are

The material of component which are stressed by the
pull of the chain when the cable lifter is disengaged
(main shaft, cable lifter, brake bands, brake spindles,
brake bolts, tension strap) must possess mechanical
characteristics in conformity with NR216
Pressure test to be done to pressure components at
1,5 p, p being the working pressure. For working pressure over 200 bar, test pressure need not exceed
p + 100
Tightness tests are to be performed on components to
which this is appropriate
Operational test at twice the nominal pull. Where manufacturing works do not have adequate facilities, the
tests including the adjustment of the overload protection may be carried out on board the vessel. In these
cases, functional testing in the manufacturer’s works is

Pressure test is carried out with air, an inert gas or liquid
at a pressure of 20 bar above atmospheric pressure
Gastightness test is carried out with air or an inert gas
at a pressure of 3,5 bar above atmospheric pressure
Tightness test, for concerning pipes, is to be carried out
with air or an inert gas at a pressure of 1 bar above atmospheric pressure
Leak test, for concerning pipes, is to be carried out at a
pressure of 0,15 bar above atmospheric pressure
Gastightness, tightness and leak tests for the pipes are
deemed gastight if, after sufficient time to allow for normal balancing, no fall in the test pressure is observed
during the following 10 minutes
Tightness test is carried out with a foaming substance at
the operating pressure
All gas-consuming appliances shall be brought into service and tested at the nominal pressure to ensure that
combustion is satisfactory with the regulating knobs in
the different positions. Flame failure devices shall be
checked to ensure that they operate satisfactorily

Gastightness test is carried out with air or an inert gas
at a pressure of 3,5 bar above atmospheric pressure
Tightness test, for concerning pipes, is to be carried out
with air or an inert gas at a pressure of 1 bar above atmospheric pressure
Leak test, for concerning pipes, is to be carried out at a
pressure of 0,15 bar above atmospheric pressure
Gastightness, tightness and leak tests for the pipes are
deemed gastight if, after sufficient time to allow for normal balancing, no fall in the test pressure is observed
during the following 10 minutes
Tightness test is carried out with a foaming substance at
the operating pressure
All gas-consuming appliances shall be brought into service and tested at the nominal pressure to ensure that
combustion is satisfactory with the regulating knobs in
the different positions. Flame failure devices shall be
checked to ensure that they operate satisfactorily

tests are to be performed on components to which this
is appropriate
Pumps within this category:
• boiler feed water or forced circulating
• fuel oil or other flammable oil
• compressed air
If of welded construction, welding steel pipes are to
comply with the applicable requirements of NR467,
Pt C, Ch 1, Sec 10. Welded joints in pipelines of
Class II are to be tested in accordance with NR216
For main parts before assembling
For product certificate C, alternative type of certificate
may be accepted depending on the Survey Scheme.

If of welded construction, welding steel pipes are to
comply with the applicable requirements of NR467,
Pt C, Ch 1, Sec 10. Welded joints in pipelines of
Class II are to be tested in accordance with NR216
The following valves are to be subjected in the manufacture’s work to an hydraulic pressure test in the presence of a Surveyor and are also subjected to undergo a
tightness test at 1,0 times the nominal pressure:
• valves of pipe Class II to 1,5 PR
• valves mounted on the vessel’s side not less than
5 bar

The proof of the quality of materials is to be in the form
of an inspection certificate according to EN 10.204. 3.1
or equivalent
If of welded construction, welding steel pipes are to
comply with the applicable requirements of NR467,
Pt C, Ch 1, Sec 10. Welded joints in pipelines of
Class II are to be tested in accordance with NR216
All pipe systems are to be tested for leakage under operational conditions. If necessary, special techniques
other than hydraulic pressure tests are to be applied:
• heating coils in tanks and fuel lines must be tested to
not less than 1,5 PB but in no case less than 4 bar
• liquefied gas process piping systems are to be leak
tested (by air, halides, etc.) to a pressure depending
on the leak detection method applied
All Class II pipes (and other concerning items) having a
design pressure PR greater than 3,5 bar shall be subjected to an hydraulic pressure test in the presence of
the Surveyor
Relevant type approval tests are to be carried out on each
type and each size as per NR467, Pt C, Ch 1, Sec 10
