TYPE APPROVAL
a.
The Type Approval Authority for EPDM Rubber Circular and D Section
Director Marine Fenders is the Procurement Executive, Ministry of Defence,
Director Naval Architecture, Section NA 114, Room 105, Block F, Foxhill, Bath
BA1 5AB.
b.
No manufacturer may supply such fenders to the MOD(PE) until he has

obtained Type Approval for his product.
c.
To obtain Type Approval the manufacturer is to:

(1)
satisfy the Approval Authority that his product complies with the
requirements of the NES;
(2)
supply details of the chemical composition of the material to the Approval

Authority.
All
such
disclosures
will
be
treated
as
Commercial-in-Confidence;
(3)
supply a metre length of the material he proposes to supply;
(4)
supply results of tests undertaken in compliance with Section 4. and

Annexes C., D., E., F., G. and H. of this NES.
d.
Once Type Approval has been granted no change may be made to the
composition of the rubber mix nor any aspect of its production without prior
approval in writing of the Approval Authority.
e.
If approval is given for a change in formulation the newly formulated material

is to be subjected to the type approval test.
f.
Type Approval is only valid for 5 years from the date of approval. The Approval
Authority reserves the right to revoke the Type Approval at any time.
g.
The manufacturer may apply for re-approval at any time.
1.1
NES 170
1.2
NES 170
2.
COMPOSITION
a.
The rubber compound is to be based wholly upon ethylene, propylene and

1,4-hexadiene (EPDM), containing at least 1.5 parts by weight per hundred
grammes of rubber of an antioxidant.
b.
The colour of the cured compound is to be black.
2.1
NES 170
2.2
NES 170
3.
PROCEDURES FOR MIXING AND CURING EPDM RUBBER

a.
Mixing and curing procedures are to be carried out in accordance with BS 1674
and for the determination of the curing characteristics of the compound in
accordance with BS 1673 Part 10, the Monsanto Rheometer has been found
suitable for this purpose.
3.1
NES 170
3.2
NES 170
4.
TESTING
a.
The quality control system requirements appropriate to this compound are

those specified in Def Stan 0592 or equivalent. Each manufacturing batch is
to be tested for hardness, tensile strength, elongation at break, compression set
and accelerated air ageing by the methods given in Annex C. The tests for
properties described in Annex C. are to be carried out on test sheets prepared
from each batch of compound as defined in Def Stan 9331 Clauses 16
inclusive.

5.
FENDER SELECTION REQUIREMENTS

a.
Fender selection will be decided initially by consideration of the type of vessel,

nature of the berth, berthing velocity, berthing angle etc. The type, stiffness and
storage energy requirements can be defined using the procedures of BS 6349,
Parts 1 and 4.
b.
Types of Fenders to be used:

(1)
Outer Circular Section shape with a circular inner bore. By using

the parameters for circular section fenders as defined in Annexes D.,E.
and F. stiffness and storage energy with varying deflection may be
determined.
(2)
Outer D Section shape with D shaped inner bore. With this type
of fender the outside diameter must be taken as the height of the outside
D section. When the width and height of the inner D bore are
comparable, selection is made from the circular section fender data. In the
case of non-comparable dimension of the inner D bore then the selection
should be made from Annexes G., H. and I.

6.
IDENTIFICATION AND PACKAGING

a.
The lengths of rubber fender are to be supplied wrapped in accordance with the
requirements of BS 3574 and NES 724.
b.
The manufacturer is to mark packaging in accordance with Def Stan 8141. In

addition any legal requirement for the packaging is to be legibly and durably
marked with the following details:
(1)
description;
(2)
NES 170;
(3)
contract or order number;
(4)
distinctive lot or batch number;
(5)
quantity of contents;
(6)
date of manufacture;
(7)
name of contractor, initials or recognized trade mark;
(8)
NATO stock number;
(9)
shelf-life expiry date;
(10) gross weight of each package.
