This International Standard specifies design conditions and suitable methods of calculation for air-conditioning and ventilation of dry provision rooms on board seagoing merchant ships, when specified by the shipowner. It applies for all conditions except those encountered in extremely hot climates (i.e. with a higher enthalpy than that stated in 4.2). NOTE — Users of this International Standard should note that, while observing the requirements of the Standard, they should at the same time ensure compliance with such statutory requirements, rules and regulations as may be applicable to the individual ship concerned.
