6.9 Definition and description of detailed requirements

  6.9.1.1 The description of detailed requirements is based on the outcome of the risk assessment review, as per above, and refers to the detailed design and the qualification of method descriptions provided by the Submitter.

  6.9.1.2 The Administration has to consider:

• .1 a description of further requirements emanating from the review of the risk assessment, including conditions of approval, resting on outstanding test results, further analysis requirements, or revised measures for risk reduction, including operational requirements throughout the lifetime of the ship and/or any specific requirements with regard to manufacturing, maintenance and monitoring;

• .2 conditions of approval are linked to the outcome of tests, reports, detail drawings and achievement of third party approval, where applicable; and

• .3 to detail requirements, relative to the steps leading to the preliminary approval. A risk control measure may correspond to a detailed requirement, or a number of detailed, technical requirements may be required to achieve the intended safety standard in the design.

  6.9.2.1 The Administration delivers the following to the Submitter:

• .1 concise reference to facilitate the adherence to imposed standards or regulations;

• .2 statement of options of compliance (if one exists); and

• .3 drawings, measurements, tables, written documentation on equipment specifications.

  6.9.2.2 Queries by the Administration preceding approval:

• .1 Is the system well evaluated bearing in mind the intended life cycle of the ship in terms of maintenance, availability of spare parts, repair and reliability?

• .2 Which risk control measures form the basis of the chosen regulatory option; do the risk control measures build on design/engineering improvements and, hence, will they be based on inherent safety or on operational and organizational changes?

• .3 Have any such organizational or operational requirements been sufficiently documented, such as to become part of a safety management system?

• .4 Has assessment taken place of effects of novel designs interacting with the equipment and manning needed on board (tools, measuring equipment)?

• .5 If general industry standards are applied, are certificates and reports made available?

  6.9.2.3 The description, documented as per above, is submitted to the customer, who is obliged to answer, qualify and document any open queries as well as to perform any additional tests, analyses and improvements, which are submitted upon request.
