This book of guidelines focuses on the IACS Member Societies' survey procedures. It will also be useful to the inspection/examination schemes of other regulatory bodies, owners and operators. An important feature of this book is the inclusion of a section illustrating examples of structural deterioration and damages related to each structural area that shows what to look for, possible cause and recommended repair methods.
