Foreword
This Guide contains information obtained from IACS Recommendation No. 47 “Shipbuilding and
Repair Quality Standard”. 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.
This second edition of the Guide, developed based on IACS Recommendation No. 47 (Rev. 3, Nov.
2006), supersedes the first edition published in July 1998.

1 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 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.
In this standard, both a “Standard” range and a “Limit” range are listed. The “Standard” range represents
the target range expected to be met in regular work under normal circumstances. The “Limit” range
represents the maximum allowable deviation from the “Standard” range. Work beyond the “Standard”
range but within the “Limit” range is acceptable.

3 General Requirements
In general, the work is to be carried out in accordance with the Rules and to the satisfaction of
attending Surveyor.
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.
