REFRIGERATING INSTALLATION COVERED BY ADDITIONAL CLASS NOTATION REF (REF-CARGO, REF-CONT, REF-STORE) - ITEM M

The requirements of NR467, Part E, Chapter 7 summarized in this item M are specific to permanently installed refrigerating installations and associated arrangements and are to be
considered additional to those specified in Pt C, Ch 1, Sec 13 (addressed in item G35) which are the minimum requirements mandatory for all ships with refrigerating installations
Individual pieces of equipment: shop tests are to be carried out on pumps, fans, electric motors and internal combustion engines forming parts of refrigerating installations, fol-
lowing procedures in accordance with the requirements applicable to each type of machinery. The relevant running data (capacity, pressure head, power and rotational speed,
M etc.) are to be recorded for each item
Pressure tests of components at the workshop include hydrostatic test (strength) and leak test (tightness) as per NR467, Part E, Chapter 7
At least one refrigerating unit of each type installed on board is to be subjected to shop tests in order to ascertain its refrigerating capacity in the most unfavourable temperature
conditions expected, or in other temperature conditions agreed by the Society

Table 15 : Lifting Appliances for Ships with Additional Class Notations ALP, ALM, ALS - item O
LIFTING APPLIANCES FOR SHIPS WITH ADDITIONAL CLASS NOTATIONS ALP, ALM, ALS - ITEM O

The following notes apply to all items from O1 to O7:

1- Scope and limitation: lifting appliances fitted on ships, floating supports, fixed or mobile offshore platforms, and used at harbour or in offshore conditions (for loading or unloading
cargoes, equipment, spare parts or consumables). The use of lifting appliance for personnel transfer operations is excluded from the Class approval scope; the use of lifting appliance
for personnel transfer is subject to regulations of the relevant Flag administration.
2- For lifting appliances intended for ships with additional class notation ALP, ALM or ALS assigned with construction mark {: the requirements given in item O apply.
a) The materials are to be covered by BV product certificate issued by a Surveyor of the Society (materials to be in compliance with NR216 or accepted specifications). The tested
materials are to be individually certified by the Society; an alternative inspection scheme may be agreed by the Society with the Manufacturer whereby the attendance of the
Surveyor will not be required.
b) The BV product certificate mentioned in a) is required in addition to any other Manufacturer's documents (i.e. material inspection certificates type EN 10204 - 3.1) included in
the Manufacturer Record Book.
3- For lifting appliances intended for ships without additional class notation ALP, ALM or ALS: the requirements given in item O apply, except the following two points:
O a) The materials are to be identified by certificate "W" (Works') issued by the Manufacturer, and submitted to the Surveyor for review (materials to be in compliance with NR216 or
accepted specifications). The Works' certificate issued by the Manufacturer shall indicate the guaranteed chemical and mechanical properties (i.e. may be material inspection
certificates type EN 10204-3.1) as well as the results of the tests performed.
b) Loose gear (item O4) are to be documented by the Manufacturer with relevant product certificates in accordance with ILO regulations.
4- General notes:
The applicable requirements for this particular equipment (Cranes) depend on the actual context, which is a mix of Statutory/International regulations and National & Flag Authority
regulations for the given ship/marine unit. In this respect, three cases may be found:
a) ILO 152 / ILO 160 (disregarding any specific Flag Authority regulations). | Voluntary request to Bureau Veritas.
b) ILO 152 / ILO 160 + specific National or Flag Authority regulations (i.e. typically: the French Maritime Regulations Rglementation de la Scurit des Navires, Division 214).
| Mandatory as per Ships flag requirements.
c) Classification Rules requirements, as per additional class notation (i.e. ALP, ALM, ...). | Mandatory as per Classification requirements.
Therefore, a case-by-case examination enables to identify which of the three previous options should be applied to a particular equipment (Crane) for a given ship or offshore unit
entitled to fly the Flag of a given State.
