2.1.1 The gaining recognized organization should
request copies of plans showing the main scantlings and arrangements
of the actual ship and machinery, together with any proposals for
alterations being dealt with, from the owner. Receipt of plans listed
in section 3, or equivalent, alternative technical data in lieu of
specific plans or items, should be identified to the owner as a prerequisite
to the issuance of a full term classification certificate by the gaining
recognized organization.
2.1.2 However, having made a good faith effort
to obtain the information, if it proves not practicable to acquire
certain plans as listed in section 3, or equivalent, alternative technical
data, the gaining recognized organization might issue the full term
classification certificate provided that its records of class-related
matters document that the ship is being accepted under its requirements
for class-related matters on the basis of a recorded internal review
of the circumstances prevailing with respect to availability of plans.
2.1.3 Upon receiving the requested plans and documents,
the gaining recognized organization should, prior to issuing the full
term classification certificate, review the submitted plans and documents
and deal with the result of the review appropriately.
