FOREWORD
The formal decisions or agreements of the I E C on technical matters, prepared by Technical Committees on which all the
1)
National Committees having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with.
They have the form of recommendations for international use and they are accepted by the National Committees in that
2)
sense.
In order to promote international unification, the I E C expresses the wish that all National Committees should adopt the
3)
text of the IE C recommendation for their national rules in so far as national conditions will permit. Any divergence
between the I E C recommendation and the corresponding national rules should, as far as possible, be clearly indicated in
the latter.
PREFACE

Environmental Conditions.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
Six Months' Rule Report on Voting

Further information can be found in the Report on Voting indicated in the table above.

CLASSIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Part 3:
Classification of groups of environmental parameters and their severities
Ship environment
1. Scope
This part of the standard classifies groups of environmental parameters and their severities to
which a product is subjected when installed aboard a ship. Ships where products may be
permanently or temporarily installed include:
— ships propelled by mechanical means, including mobile offshore units;
— ships not propelled by mechanical means, including sailing boats and life rafts.
The classes defined apply to all sizes of ships from pleasure craft to trawlers, ferry boats,
icebreakers, cargo ships including tankers.
The areas in which ships normally navigate are:
— inland waterways (canals, rivers, lakes);
— coastal waters;
— oceans.
Areas where ships have to navigate in ice are also included.
The environmental condition classification given in this standard applies to products which
are installed for the running, handling and safety of the ship. It may also be used for other
products installed in a similar way and in the same locations.
Accidental incidents are not included, but the possibility of their occurrence may need to be
taken into account for products vital to the safety of the ship.
The classification does not cover the effect of water pressure on submerged products.
For the use of the classified environmental parameters and their severities in ships propelled
by mechanical means, see the environmental conditions specification in I EC Publication
92-101.
Classifications of storage and transportation environmental conditions are given in other
parts of I EC Publication 721-3.
2. Object
To classify groups of environmental parameters and their severities to which a product will
be exposed under its conditions of use when installed aboard ships.
A limited number of classes of environmental parameters and their severities is laid down
covering a broad field of applications. The user of this standard should select the lowest class
necessary for covering the conditions of the intended use.

3. General
For further general guidance, see I E C Publication 721-3-0.
The severities given are those which will have a low probability of being exceeded. Only
severe conditions which may affect the structural integrity or functional performance of a
product are included.
Depending on the local situation there may be different frequencies of occurrence related to
a certain period of time. Such frequencies of occurrence should be considered for any
environmental parameter. They should additionally be specified if applicable. Information on
duration and frequency of occurrence is given in Amendment No. 1 to I E C Publication 721-3-0
as Clause 6.
4. Classification of groups of environmental parameters and their severities
A limited number of classes for climatic conditions (K), biological conditions (B), chemically
active substances (C), mechanically active substances (S), and mechanical conditions (M) are
given in Tables I, II, III, IV and V. For a given product, reference should be made to the total
set of classes, for example: 6K3 / 6B1 / 6C2 / 6S1 / 6M3.
The combination of the lowest classes 6K1 / 6B1 / 6C1 / 6S1 / 6M1 forms the condition to
which a product will be subjected when installed only in totally weatherprotected locations
aboard ships not propelled by mechanical means. The combination of the highest classes 6K5 /
6B2 / 6C3 / 6S3 / 6M4 covers a wide number of installations aboard most types of ships including
locations with very severe conditions.
A class of conditions normally includes classes with lower severity digits. For certain
parameters it has not yet been possible to give quantitative severities.
A summary of conditions covered by the classes is given in Appendix A.

1) A number of products located in machinery spaces are only required to operate after a period of warm-up of the
machinery spaces. For these products the low temperature for operation is +5 °C, and the gradual change of temperature
condition only applies to the non-operational state.
2) Ships will normally not navigate when air temperatures are below —40 °C. Products may, however, be left unprotected on
ships which are temporarily laid up in harbour for the coldest period of the year. In such cases products in the non-
operational state, may have to withstand temperatures down to —55 °C. In exceptional cases in inland waters, ships may
also navigate when temperatures are below —40 °C.
3) Freezing point may be lower than 0 °C due to presence of salt or pollution, etc.
4) Surface temperatures refer to hot parts to which the products may be attached. More extreme surface temperatures can
exist, for instance on machines, and may have to be considered.
5) The product is assumed to be subjected to a rapid decrease of temperature only (no rapid increase). The figures of water
content apply to temperatures down to the dew point; at lower temperatures the relative humidity is assumed to be
approximately 100%.
