ASTM F2016-23

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
Designation: F2016 − 00 (Reapproved 2018) F2016 − 23 An American National Standard
Standard Practice for
Establishing Shipbuilding Quality Requirements for Hull
Structure, Outfitting, and Coatings
This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2016; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
1. Scope
1.1 This practice consists of three annexes: hull structure, outfitting, and coating. The subject of these annexes was selected for
several reasons. Other commercial shipbuilding nations already have in place widely recognized standards of expectations in these
areas. These constitute the most significant areas where workmanship is a critical factor in customer satisfaction. The cost
associated with the labor involved in these three areas is a significant factor in construction man-hours and overall schedules.
1.2 The standard criteria provided in this practice are intended to apply to conventional, commercial ship construction. In many
cases, specialized, nonconventional vessels using nonstandard materials or built-to-serve sole requirements may require unique
acceptance criteria that are beyond those provided in this practice.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization
established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued
by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

3. Summary of Practice
3.1 This practice provides workmanship criteria to be applied to commercial shipbuilding or ship repair, or both. The criteria
covers three primary phases of ship construction, that is, hull structure, outfitting, and coatings. Specific criteria to be selected from
this standard should be as contractually agreed between the ship owner and shipbuilder.
4. Significance and Use
4.1 To achieve success in ship construction, it is necessary for the ship owner and the ship builder to agree on the level of quality
in the final product. Classification rules, regulatory requirements, and ship specifications all help to define an acceptable level of
construction quality; however, this guidance alone is not sufficient. It is up to the shipbuilder, therefore, to describe the level of
workmanship sufficiently that will be reflected in the delivered ship, and for the ship owner to communicate histheir expectations
effectively for the final product.
4.2 It is the intent of this document to contribute to these objectives in the following ways:
4.2.1 To describe a reasonable acceptable level of workmanship for commercial vessels built in the United States.
4.2.2 To provide a baseline from which individual shipyards can begin to develop their own product and process standards in
accordance with generally accepted practice in the commercial marine industry.

F2016 − 23
4.2.3 To provide a foundation for negotiations between the shipbuilder and the ship owner in reaching a common expectation of
construction quality.
4.3 The acceptance criteria herein are based on currently practiced levels of quality generally achieved by leading international
commercial shipbuilders. These criteria are not intended to be a hard standard with which all U.S. shipyards must comply. Rather,
they are intended to provide guidance and recommendations in the key areas that play a major role in customer satisfaction and
cost-effective ship construction.
