GUIDE FOR:
SHIPBUILDING AND REPAIR QUALITY STANDARD FOR

HULL STRUCTURES DURING CONSTRUCTION

Foreword
This guide contains information obtained from IACS Recommendation No. 47 .
"Shipbuilding and Repair Quality Standards". In order to be consistent with ABS
requirements, some specific standards have been modified from the original. The
modified standards are indicated in the "Remarks" column of the tables, along with the
rule reference.
1.0 Applicability
This guide provides guidance on shipbuilding quality standards for the hull structure during
construction.
Whereas the standard generally applies to:
conventional ship types
hull structures constructed from normal and higher strength hull structural steel, the
applicability of the standard is in each case to be agreed upon by the Bureau
The standard generally does not apply to the new construction of
special types of ships as e.g. gas tankers
structures fabricated from stainless steel or other, special types or grades of steel
Details relevant to structures or fabrication procedures not covered by this standard are to be
approved on a case by case basis of procedure qualifications and/or recognized national
standards.
2.0 Scope
The standard covers typical construction methods and gives guidance on quality standards for
the most important aspects of such construction. Unless explicitly stated elsewhere in the
standard, the level of workmanship reflected herein will in principle be acceptable for primary
and secondary structure of conventional designs. A more stringent standard may however be
required for critical and highly stressed areas of the hull, and this is to be agreed with the
Bureau in each case.
It is intended that these standards provide guidance where established shipbuilding or national
standards accepted by the Bureau do not exist.
For use of this standard, fabrication fit-ups, deflections and similar quality attributes are
intended to be uniformly distributed about the nominal values. The shipyard is to take
corrective action to improve work processes that produce measurements where a skewed
distribution is evident. Relying upon remedial steps that truncate a skewed distribution of the
quality attribute is unacceptable.
3.0 General Requirements
In general, the work is to be carried out in accordance with the Rules and under the survey of
the classification representative.
Provisions are to be made for proper accessibility, staging, lighting, and ventilation. Welding
operations are to be carried out under shelter from rain, snow, and wind.
Welding of hull structures is to be carried out by qualified welders, according to approved and
qualified welding procedures and with welding consumables approved by the Bureau.
Welding operations are to be carried out under proper supervision by the shipbuilder.
ABS Guide For Shipbuilding And Repair Quality Standard For Hull Structures During Construction
4.0 Qualification of Personnel and Procedures

4.1 Qualification of Welders
Welders are to be qualified in accordance with 2/3 C .11of the ABS Rule Requirements for
Materials and Welding. Subcontractors are to keep records of welders qualification and, when
required, furnish valid approval test certificates.
Welding operators using fully mechanized or fully automatic processes generally need not
pass approval testing provided that the production welds made by the operators are of the
required quality. However, operators are to receive adequate training in setting or
programming and operating the equipment. Records of training and production test results
shall be maintained on individual operators files and records, and be made available to the
Bureau for inspection when requested.
4.2 Qualification of Welding Procedures
Welding procedures are to be qualified in accordance with 2/3A.1.4 of the ABS Rule
Requirements for Materials and Welding. The welding procedure should be supported by a
welding procedure qualification record. The specification is to include the welding process,
types of electrodes, weld shape, edge preparation, welding techniques and positions.
4.3 Qualifications of NDE Operators
Personnel performing non-destructive examination for the purpose of assessing quality of
welds in connection with new construction covered by this guide are to be qualified in
accordance with the applicable Bureaus requirements or to a recognized national or
international qualification scheme. Records of operators and their current certificates are to be
kept and made available to the Surveyor for inspection.
5.0 Materials
5.1 Materials for Structural Members
All Materials, including weld consumables, to be used for the structural members are to be in
accordance with Bureau approved construction plans and with the ABS Rule Requirement for
Materials and Welding.
