I1. TECHNICAL COMMITTEES

The Technical Committees of RBNA are as follows:

OPEN SEA NAVIGATION

INLAND NAVIGATION

MATRERIALS AND WELDING

I2. APPLICATION OF THE RULES

The present RULES have been developed for the purpose of classification of metallic hull vessels operation
in open sea areas.

Unless otherwise stated, the RULE 2014 edition is applicable from 01 July 2014.

The interpretation of the RULES is of sole competency of REGISTRO BRASILEIRO DE NAVIOS E

AERONAVES - RBNA. The citation of the RULES will be valid only under authorization of the RBNA
Administration. The total or partial reproduction of the RULES shall be valid only under written authorization from
the RBNA Administration.

I3. RULE BASIC CONTENTS

I3. 1. Basic subject division

The organization of the present BOOK OF RULES comprises: PARTS, TITLE, SECTION AND
CHAPTERS. The CHAPTERS are divided into SUBCHAPTERS, TOPICS AND PARAGRAPHS. Indexes for
each Chapter is included in the beggining of each Section.

For the criteria of division into Chapters, see Part I, Title 01, Section 1, Chapter D, Subchapter D3, topic D3.100 and
D3.200.

For the criteria of division into Titles, see Part I, Title 01, Section 1, Chapter D, Subchapter D3, topic D3.100 and
D3.300.

For the criteria of division into Section 1 to 8, s, see Part I, Title 01, Section 1, Chapter D, Subchapter D3, topic
D3.100 and D3.400.

The present RULES are divided into Parts I, II and III which comprise booklets and groups of Titles, to
facilitate the search for the several shIps and their missions, the control of future alterations and the organization for
printing.

In Part I and Part III the Sections are described at the beginning of each Chapter.

In Part II, the Sections are classified according to their technical nature:

Hull Sections: Machinery Sections: Elecytricity/Electronics Sections:

Section 1 – Naval Architecture; Section 5 – Engines and Mechanics; Section 7 – Electricity;
Section 2 – Structure; Section 6 – Piping; Section 8 – Nautics and Electronics.
Section 3 – Hull Equipment;
Section 4 – Accommodation;

I3.3 Number of pages

The pages for the 2014 edition of the Rules are numbered by each Section within a Title.

Thus page 2-3, e.g., corresponds to the third page of Section 2 within the Title dispalyed in the page
heading.

In the example below, the heading is for Title 01, Section 1:

Thus page number “2-1” means the first page in Section 2 of Title 11.

I3.4 Summary of alterations for the 2014 edition of the Rules in relation to the 2008 edition

See Annex 1.

VALIDITY: from 01 July de 2014.

I4. RBNA CONDITIONS OF ACTION

The actions of RBNA in the classification process comprises the following conditions:

RBNA is committed to assess the design and check periodically the conditions of the vessel in conformity to the
Rules, for the purpose of being ready to issue, endorse, suspend or eventually cancel the CLASS CERTIFICATES;

The contracting party shall be committed to make available the documents and facts of the construction and
operation processes of the vessel in what regards assignment of Class.

permissible The formulas in the previous text did not
torsional vibration take into account the resistance of the

resulted in diameters larger than those
G G3 I IACS UR M68 given by the IACS formulas.
The formula considered materials of
having a tensile resistance limit of 402
N/mm2 (41 kgf/mm2), and not over 600

Further, the RBNA formula did not take
into account vibrations and fatigue.
The IACS formulation takes all the above
into account.
