As for our steel ship building practice which has made great progress in
the ten years after the end of the War, publication was already made by the
sub-committee of Research Committee on Steel Shipbuilding, the Society of
Naval Architect of Japan, in the title of “Steel shipbuilding Practice” which
consists of six volumes.
Since then, it has been fully realized that it is indispensable that we
provide a technical standard of high reliability which is to be supported by
incessant examination of practice and theory with a view to maintain quality
in the highest. Consequently, through a series of deliberating conferences
consisting of ship builders, classification societies and professors of
universities, this standard of the quality of hull has been completed.
As this booklet is intended mainly for shipbuilding practice and accuracy
of products, this is titled “Japan Shipbuilding Quality Standard” (J.8.9.S.).
With regard to the standard of welding quality, it is excluded from this
standard with an understanding to use “Standard of Quantitative Inspection
and Control for Hull Appearance” published by the Japan Welding Society,
Shipbuilding Division, Welding Subcommittee.
As a matter of course, these kinds of standards should be incessantly
tested for their availability with ever changing technical innovation and be
altered accordingly and in fact itis expected that commentary on each article
shall be added supplementartily to the 1965 edition.
‘This standard, we fully expect, will contribute to guidance in Japanese
Shipbuilding practice and will play an important role in producing further
‘progress in this field.
Finally, we acknowledge with gratitude every member of the committee
who cooperated and endeavored to bring the standard to completion.
