DIN Standards Committee Shipbuilding and Marine Technology

IEC/TC 18
Electrical installations of ships and of mobile and fixed offshore units

To prepare standards for electrical installations and equipment of ships and of mobile and fixed offshore units, incorporating good practice and aligning as far as possible existing regulations and IEC Publications. 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 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 also foster interchangeability of parts and ease the selection and procurement of equipment, including cables for transport of energy, signals and data, by indicating, as appropriate, IEC standards of ratings, types, dimensions, materials, quality, test methods, etc., whether or not these are influenced by regulations, and will thus facilitate interchanges between purchaser and supplier.
