Standards, Certifications & Class Approval
Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.
| Applicable Standards & Certification | Chartwork should support SOLAS Chapter V Regulation 19 carriage requirements and applicable IMO/IHO guidance. Admiralty chart corrections commonly follow UKHO NP294 procedures and relevant IHO S-4 and M-4 specifications. Individual manual tools generally have no dedicated product certification. |
|---|---|
| Class Approval | Individual chart correction instruments normally do not require type approval from DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, BV, or ClassNK. Their use may be assessed within the vessel's approved navigation procedures and safety management system. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | No permanent installation is normally required. Keep tools in a dry, accessible chartroom or bridge navigation drawer. Verify that rulers, dividers, templates, and correction instruments are clean, undamaged, and suitable for the chart scale. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Wipe instruments after use and keep metal components dry to prevent corrosion. Check hinge tension, ruler markings, divider points, and magnifier surfaces regularly. Replace worn pencils, blunt points, damaged rulers, and illegible templates. |
| Safety Notes | Use sharp dividers and compass points carefully and store them with protective covers. Do not rely on corrected paper charts alone where approved electronic navigation systems are required. Confirm chart edition, correction status, and navigational warnings before use. |
