GENERAL
Update Scheme
The update scheme of the documents is as follows:
1) Whenever revised, or undergoing significant editorial changes, a document will be given a new edition date
and the main changes will be described on Page 3 of that document. The corresponding Adobe PDF file
will be made available through http://www.dnv.com/resources/rules_standards/ and the date of the “Cur-
rent edition” column of Table 1 in Sec.2 will be updated.
2) If, at a later date, the need arises for insignificant editorial corrections to the document, the electronic file
will be updated, but the edition date will be retained. However, a new Adobe PDF file will be generated
and made available through http://www.dnv.com/resources/rules_standards/. The date of the PDF file will
appear in the “Editorial corrections” column of Table 1 in Sec.2.
Discontinued updating of the “Amendments and Corrections” document
As a result of moving away from the “Print” scheme there is no longer need for a separate “Amendments and
corrections” document which intention was to supply buyers of printed documents with a detailed view of
“amendments” to the documents applicable after issued in print.
The electronic PDF files are now the officially binding versions and will always be kept current and download-
able.
Readers of documents are encouraged to regularly check for updates in order to ensure that they hold the cur-
rent updated versions.
