To prepare standards for electrical installations of ships and of mobile and fixed offshore units,
incorporating good practice and coordinating as far as possible existing regulations and IEC
Publications.
The standards will form a code of practical interpretation and amplification of the requirements of
the International Convention on Safety of Life at Sea, a guide for future regulations may be
prepared by Administrations, and a statement of practice for use by builders and appropriate
organizations.
The standards will chiefly concern:
a) Factors promoting the safety of ships and of mobile and fixed offshore units;
b) Factors promoting safety of life.
The standards will foster interchangeability of parts and ease of procuring equipment by indicating
standards of ratings, types, dimensions, quality, test methods, etc., whether or not these are
influenced by regulations, and will thus facilitate interchanges between purchaser and supplier
