Classification standards
Each individual Classification Society has adopted their own rules for the design, construction survey and certification of tankers for classification purposes and to apply the Common Structural Rules which were adopted by IACS. These rules are developed and approved for implementation through each Classification Society’s technical committee.
It is important to INTERTANKO Members that the INTERTANKO Secretariat and/or Members are involved in these committees to ensure that any classification standards developed for tankers are consistent with Members’ interests, are fit for purpose and are not overly burdensome.
