Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. www.iso.org/directives

Introduction
The revision to this International Standard takes into account the recent globalization of the shipbuilding
industry and manufacturers of installed equipment, and the transformation of specifications, which
introduce the following points into piping machinery at shipyards:
— A growing number of installed equipment and piping equipment manufacturers, and their models;
— A diversification of standards specifying piping installations and piping fittings used by shipyards
and/or ship equipment manufacturers.
With this background there is a lack of information necessary to carry out pipe fittings and machinery
in shipyards, and an absence of consistency in the descriptions of these points.
This International Standard is revised taking into consideration the current situation of piping machinery
in shipyards. In order to enable manufacturers of equipment and/or piping equipment to comply with
this International Standard which specifies procedures of drawings and manufacturing, the revision
covers the following points:
— The implementation of this International Standard for operation when applying other international
standards and/or each national standard;
— The description of as many references as possible in a requirements and comments table as
applicable requirements to the latest circumstances of pipe fitting in shipyards.

machinery — Information transfer
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the minimum data needed for the prefabrication and assembly of
pipework and for its transfer from engineering departments to workshops in the shipbuilding industry.
It is applicable to written information needed for construction of piping installations that marine piping
equipment manufacturers submit through specifications and instructions to shipyards on shipbuilding.
It is not applicable to the generation, type presentation and filing organization of this data.
