Chapter 2 - Design - General.
201. Design Specification.
The designer shall initially declare a Design Specification which will
stipulate the maximum intended design conditions for operation of the vehicle in
terms of:-
- Maximum vehicle weight;
- Vehicle maximum speed relative to the surface;
- Maximum sea state and obstacle height;
- Maximum wind speed;
- Environmental temperature range.
Design calculations shall relate to these conditions where appropriate;
equipment, components and installations shall be selected or designed for safe
operation within these conditions, and due allowance shall be made where
applicable for the effects of vehicle icing.
202. Design Calculations.
Design calculations required by these standards shall be performed using
recognized methods, which should be identified if of special application, and
all assumptions made shall be clearly stated.
203. Design Approvals.
Any approvals given for designs as complying with these standards will be
based upon such data as is submitted; they should therefore be in sufficient
detail to enable compliance to be readily assessed.
204. Design Units.
Drawings, calculations and data submitted shall be consistently in S.I.
Units, except in respect of equipment or components designed and manufactured
using alternative units.
205. Design Responsibility.
The person assuming responsibility for the vehicle design shall:-
- Be responsible for the accuracy and completeness of all data and
calculations submitted in respect of the vehicle structural design, and
- Ensure that sufficient data are available in respect of main machinery
components (see Chapter 7) upon which compliance with these standards can be
assessed.
206. Data to be submitted.
Drawings, conforming to good drafting practices, shall be submitted as clear
blue-prints in triplicate, and shall contain all necessary information to
identify materials and components depicted for all structure, components,
equipment and their installation as required in this Standard. All supporting
data by way of calculations, specifications, test reports, etc., shall be
submitted in single legible copies in either the English or French language.
