1. Introduction

Lloyds Registers verification requirements and procedures for new

construction are to be built under the regulations detailed by the

documents listed below, collectively referred to as PSPC-BWTin this

document.

The related standards and documents for reference are:

It is anticipated that a pre- job meeting and agreement will be carried

out and form the basis of the verification guidelines, this should include

the items listed below but not be limited to this:

Confirmation of the coating suppliers, if not already agreed.

Coating Specification.

Treatment of fixtures and fittings, if not included in the coating

specification.

Inspection schedule and standards.

Number of tests to be carried out e.g. salt tests, profile

assessment, dust tape tests etc.

Applicators QC procedures (e.g. monitoring of ambient

conditions / ventilation and pre-official inspections for surface

preparation, cleaning, DFT etc.)

Communications including procedures for calling inspections

(e.g. minimum acceptable advance notice and acceptable

hours, including weekends evenings, holidays). Also

procedures for informing LR of forthcoming inspections. Reporting procedures and report formats (see Appendix 3 for

recommended reporting templates).

Procedures for reporting non-conformances and resolving

their satisfactory repair.

Appointment of the inspection body or bodies (i.e. shipyard,

coating supplier, ship owner, independent or a combination

of two or more).

Clarification of how many inspectors will be required.

Assistance to be given to the inspectors.

Names and qualifications of inspectors (copies of currentcertificates including information to allow traceability and

confirmation will be required).

Procedures for the settlement of disputes.

Health and safety.

The Lloyds Register PSPC-BWT new building verification process for

surveyors can be broken into three stages:

i. Before coating application is started.

ii. During coating application.

iii. After coating completion and prior to ship delivery.

Any deviation should be raised to the shipyard, or the Approved

Inspector, as deemed appropriate by LR.

In the event of corrective action a Class Certificate will not be issued

until all corrective actions have been closed out.

2.Verification Requirements by the LR Surveyor

2.1Before coating application is started

The minimum PSPC-BWT requirements are included in the CTF check list

(see appendix 1). The CTF is to be compiled by the shipyard before work

is started.

MARINE SERVICES

Bodies responsible for inspection are required to provide the names of

their respective Approved Inspectors, together with verified copies of

the inspectors certificates. Evidence will be available to confirm that all

certificates are current.

If there is to be more than one inspection body, there must be a clear

line of authority.

Typical examples of the builders quality control documentation include

the following:

Shop Priming Plant Verification and Daily Record.

Daily Log - To list all inspections for each working day.

Preparation & Application Progress Report.

Block Report - Secondary Surface Preparation & Cleaning

Inspection Report.

Pre-Erection joint Report -Secondary Surface Preparation &Cleaning Inspection Report.

Hull Stage Erection Joint & Damages Report -Secondary

Surface. Preparation & Cleaning Inspection Report.

Block Report- Coating Inspection Report.

Block Pre-erection / Hull Stage Coating Inspection Report.

Pre-Delivery Inspection Report - (Completion Report).

Non Conformity Report.

The format of reports may vary as agreed between the shipyard, ship-

owner and the Approved Inspector but must comply with therequirements of the PSPC-BWT.

Note:The shop priming plant QC procedures will normally be subject to

a separate audit by the Approved Inspector.

The minimum QC Working Report contents for the PSPC-BWT (See

MSC.215(82) 3.4.2) are:

Applied Actual Space and area (in square metres) for each

compartment. Applied coating system.

Time of coating, thickness, number of layers.

Ambient conditions during coating.

Method of surface preparation.

Statement by the Approved Coating Inspector that the

coating was applied in accordance with the specifications

and to the satisfaction of the coating supplier representative.

Deviations from the specifications and their correction will be

reported.

LR will confirm the relevant boxes in the CTF Check List and the Shop-

priming Plant Verification as appropriate before work is started.

MARINE SERVICES

Verification Requirements:

All documentation required to satisfy the terms of the PSPC-BWT has

been prepared by the ship-yard as listed in the CTF Check List. LR will

complete a CTF Check List for each vessel to which the PSPC-BWT

regulations apply.

Inspection procedures have been agreed between the

shipyard, the ship owner and the main coating supplier before

work is started. These are most likely to be discussed and

agreed at a pre-job meeting or meetings. The pre-job

agreement must satisfy all of the requirements of the PSPC-

BWT and the shipyard is to present the minutes of the

agreement to LR for review. LR may also request to participate

in the pre-job agreement process.

That the Shop Priming Plant Verification Report (see Appendix

2) is available for the pre-job agreement process and that the

standards achieved are acceptable to the shop primer

supplier, the main coating supplier and the Approved

Inspector.

If the shop primed steel is purchased from a location or

supplier different from the shipyard, the steel shall have all the

relevant quality control documents from that supplier or

location, and that the local LR surveyor has witnessed andalso supplied the relevant completed forms. This also includes

finished or semi-finished blocks supplied from a different site or

manufacturer.

The shop primer must be approved in accordance with PSPC-

BWT otherwise it must be removed.

The Approved Inspector should participate in the shop primer

verification process as early as possible after being appointed. The

Approved Inspector will then be included as a signatory in theverification process. It may also be decided that the main coating

supplier participates in the verification process.

The shop-priming plant documentation may require modification

depending upon the agreed inspection bodies.

The date of the verification must be valid from the start of plate

processing.

2.2 During coating application

For Approved Inspectors unknown to Lloyds Register, verification will

be required as early as possible in the contract. For inspectors known to

LR or when acceptable standards have been established, spot check

verification is acceptable.

LR will record their monitoring verification details in the LR Form1215.

For automatic shop primer application regular audits of QC records,

without a physical check of the plants operations is acceptable.

Note: LR is to confirm that the ship yards QC system ensures that allcalibration certificates for inspection instruments are maintained up to

date. If not, LR will require all current certificates for review.

All sections of the form 1215pertaining to the relevant sections ofMSC.215 (82) section 6.2 and SC223 shall be completed on a regular

basis and be retained for future reference.

Details will include:

Area inspected.

Date & time.

Official report number.

Block or location on the vessel.

Approved Inspectors findings. Any unresolved disagreements between inspection bodies

and the eventual outcome.

NCR details, if applicable.


Through document audits and / or physical spot checks, that all the

requirements of the PSPC-BWT are fulfilled.

Monitoring of the coating inspection requirements, as required by theMSC.215(82) (Section 7.5) means checking, on a representative

sampling basis, that the inspectors are using correct equipment,

techniques and reporting methods, as described in SC223.

This will require that the Approved Inspector physically demonstrates to

the LR Surveyor that inspection procedures are properly carried out and

are accurately recorded in the appropriate reports. Examples of these

reports are shown in Appendix 3.

An appropriatelevel of inspection should be agreed within the pre-jobagreement, for example:


9/21

2013 Version 05 8

MARINE SERVICES

Approximately 10% of block inspections.

A minimum of two hull stage tank inspections.

A minimum of two pre-delivery tank inspections.

The Approved Inspector should be able to show compliance to items

listed in Appendix 1 and Appendix 2.

Note: Non-conformances are to be documented in a Non -

Conformance Report (NCR) and closed off by the Approved

Inspector after correction.

Non-conformances are considered non-compliances, if the

shipyard or contractor refuses to repair, or where the repair is to

be carried out later in the contract, when the NCR will remain in

place to act as a reminder.

Routine requirements for repair after inspection will not be subject

to an NCR if repair is to be carried out immediately. Inspections

resulting in rejection should be detailed in the Preparation &

Application Progress Report.

2.3 After coating completion and prior to ship delivery


The shipyard has completed the CTF in accordance with the

PSPC-BWT and that all relevant documentation required forthe CTF is included.

That the Approved Inspector(s) has signed all the relevant

reports confirming that standards complied with the

MSC.215(82) and all other agreed documentation, the PTDS

and were carried out to the satisfaction of the coating

supplier's representative.

That the owner has been given a copy of the CTF for

placement onboard.

Note:The CTF should include the maintenance specification.
