1. Overview1.1 ScopeThese recommendations establish the minimally acceptable guidelines for the design, selection, andinstallation of systems and equipment aboard marine vessels applying electrical apparatus for power,propulsion, steering, automation, navigation, lighting, and communications. These recommendationsdescribe present-day acceptable electrical engineering methods and practices.It is recognized that changes and improvements in shipboard requirements may develop that are notspecifically covered herein; such changes, if incorporated in the design, should be equal to the safety andreliability levels established herein and generally in accord with the intent of these standards.In developing these recommendations, consideration was given to the electrical and engineeringrequirements promulgated by various regulatory agencies, classification societies, and by the InternationalMaritime Organization’s International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (IMO SOLAS), as amended.This recommended practice was developed by a voluntary consensus body to provide assistance andguidance to regulatory agencies governing electrical engineering requirements.1.2 PurposeThe main purpose of this recommended practice is to provide a consensus of recommended practices in theunique field of marine electrical engineering as applied specifically to ships, shipboard systems, andequipment.1.3 Vessel classification1.3.1 Vessel classification this recommended practice is applicable toThese recommendations have been prepared for application for the following vessels:a) Tank vessels—All vessels whose principle purpose is the carrying of combustible or flammableliquid cargo in bulk.
