PART

1Foreword

Foreword
For the 2008 edition, Part 1, “Conditions of Classification” was consolidated into a generic booklet, entitled Rules for Conditions of Classification – Offshore Units and Structures (Part 1) for all units, installations, vessels or systems in offshore service. The purpose of this consolidation was to emphasize the common applicability of the classification requirements in“Part 1” to ABS-classed offshore units, pipelines, risers, and other offshore structures, and thereby make “Part 1” more readily a common “Part” of the various ABS Rules and Guides, as appropriate. Accordingly, the subject booklet, Rules for Conditions of Classification – Offshore Units and Structures (Part 1), is to be considered, for example, as being applicable to and comprising a “Part” of thefollowing ABS Rules and Guides: • • • • • • • • • • Rules for Building and Classing Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODU Rules) Rules for Building and Classing Offshore Installations (Offshore Installations Rules) Rules for Building and Classing Single Point Moorings (SPM Rules) Guide for Building and Classing Floating Production Installations (FPI Guide) Guide for Building and Classing Facilities onOffshore Installations (Facilities Guide) Guide for Building and Classing Liftboats (Liftboat Guide) Guide for Building and Classing Subsea Pipeline Systems (Pipeline Guide Guide for Building and Classing Subsea Riser Systems (Riser Guide) Guide for Building and Classing Offshore LNG Terminals (LNGT Guide) Guide for Building and Classing Mobile Offshore Units (MOU Guide)
