4.1 Requirements to be complied with by the manufacturer
4.1.1 The manufacturing plant is to be provided with suitable equipment and
facilities to enable proper handling of the materials, manufacturing processes and
structural components. The manufacturing plant is to have at its disposal sufficiently
qualified personnel. The Society is to be advised of the names and areas of
responsibility of the supervisory and control personnel in charge of the project.
4.2 Quality control
4.2.1 As far as required and expedient, the manufacturer’s personnel has to
examine all structural components both during manufacture and on completion, to verify
that they are complete, that the dimensions are correct and that workmanship is
satisfactory and meets the standard of good shipbuilding practice.
Upon inspection and corrections by the manufacturing plant, the structural components are
to be shown to the surveyor of the Society for inspection, in suitable sections,
normally unpainted condition and enabling proper access for inspection.
The Surveyor may reject components that have not been adequately checked by the plant and
may demand their re-submission upon successful completion of such checks and corrections
by the plant.
