Introduction
In 1992, ABS Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels beginning of each ‘‘Part’’ (booklet) of the Rules, as appli-
were published in a completely new format in seven cable.
booklets. Also, the effective date of each change since 1993 is shown
For 1997, all booklets comprising the 1997 Rules are re- in parenthesis at the end of subsection/paragraph titles
printed with all previous Rule Change Notices issued being within the text of each Part. Unless a particular date and
incorporated into the Rules. The changes from the 1996 month are shown, 1997 refers to 19 May 1997, 1996 refers
Rules with their effective dates are summarized in Table to 9 May 1996, 1995 refers to 15 May 1995, 1994 refers to
5 of this booklet and are also shown in Table 1 at the 9 May 1994 and 1993 refers to 11 May 1993 effective dates.

*Note: For the 1996 Rules, and subsequent rules, Part 2, has been re-titled “Rule Requirements for Materials
and Welding” in order that the subject booklet may be more readily made “Part” of other ABS Rules, as
applicable, such as the ABS Rules for MODUs etc., in addition to the Steel Vessel Rules.
In order to allow ready reference to the 1991 edition of the Rules, the comparison of section numbers is shown
in Table 2. The subsection/paragraph numbers (see Table 3) for the most part remain unchanged.
