This British Standard specifies requirements for the materials, design, fabrication, installation, inspection and testing of salt water piping systems in ships, including all fittings which form parts of such systems, in which the design pressure in the pipes does not exceed 16 bar2). For the purposes of this standard a salt water piping system includes all pipes and fittings from sea water inlet to discharge overboard.
NOTE Users of this standard should note that while observing the requirements of the standard they should at the same time ensure compliance with such statutory requirements, rules and regulations as may be applicable to the individual ship concerned.
