Notices and General Information

Introduction
1. The year 2015 edition of the Rules for Building and Classing High-Speed Craft consists of the eight
(8) booklets as shown in Table 1. With regard to three booklets, Part 1, Part 2, and Part 7:
a) The purpose of the generic title ABS Rules for Conditions of Classification High-Speed
Craft (Part 1) is to reflect the expanded contents of PART 1, as a result of including
consolidated requirements for Classification applicable to all types of and sizes of high-
speed craft as specified in the Foreword to Part 1. Additional specific requirements are
contained in Chapters 2 and 3 of Part 1.
b) The purpose of the generic title ABS Rules for Materials and Welding of PART 2 is to
emphasize the common applicability of the requirements to ABS-classed vessels, other
marine structures and their associated machinery, and thereby make PART 2 more readily
a common PART of various ABS Rules and Guides, as appropriate.
c) The purpose of the generic title ABS Rules for Survey After Construction (Part 7) is to
reflect the expanded contents of PART 7, as a result of including consolidated requirements
for Surveys After Construction applicable to all types and sizes of vessels, barges and
specific shipboard arrangements/systems, etc., as specified in Part 7, Chapter 1, Section 1.
2. The numbering system applied in the Rules is shown in Table 2.
3. The primary changes from the 2014 Rules are identified and listed in Table 3. The effective date
of the indicated Rule Changes is 1 January 2015, unless specifically indicated otherwise.
4. The effective date of each technical change since 1993 is shown in parenthesis at the end of the
subsection/paragraph titles within the text of each Part. Unless a particular date and month are
shown, the years in parentheses refer to the following effective dates:

(2000) and after 1 January 2000 (and subsequent years) (1996) 9 May 1996

(1997) 19 May 1997 (1993) 11 May 1993

5. Until the next edition of the Rules for Building and Classing High-Speed Craft is published, Rule
Change Notices and/or Corrigenda, as necessary, will be published on the ABS website
www.eagle.org only, and will be available free for downloading. It is not intended to publish
hard copies of future Rule Change Notices and/or Corrigenda to existing Rules or Guides. The
consolidated edition of the Rules for Building and Classing High-Speed Craft, which includes
Rule Change Notices and/or Corrigenda using different colors for easy recognition, will be
published on the ABS website only when RCN and/or Corrigenda are issued.
6. The listing of CLASSIFICATION SYMBOLS AND NOTATIONS is available from the ABS
