10.1.2 Each ADS is to be subjected to a test dive to the design depth in the presence of the
Surveyor. The test dive is to be conducted with the ADS manned to verify proper
operation of the joints and controls at depth.
10.1.3 Where the depth of water available is less than the design depth, both the rated
depth (depth reached during test dive) and the design depth will be indicated in the
record.
10.1.4 Each ADS is to be subjected to manned functional test in the presence of the
Surveyor. The functional test is to demonstrate satisfactory performance of life
support systems, position control and steering systems, electrical systems, and
other items required for safe operation of the ADS. The testing may be conducted at
shallow depths or test tanks.
