Scope and Application

These Construction Rules apply additionally to automated machinery systems on seagoing ships, classified by Germanischer Lloyd (GL), which have one of the Class Notations in the Class Certificate relating to the machinery system as listed under E.

Approval may be given for designs which differ from the Rules for Construction if they have been checked for suitability by GL and accepted as being of equivalent design.

GL reserve the right to specify additional requirements to the Rules for Construction where these are related to new systems or installations or where they are necessary due to new findings or practical experience.

Deviations from the Rules for Construction may be permitted in particularly justified instances.
