This Standard applies to vessels during the course of construction, conversion, repairs, or while laid up. Topics covered include inspection, use of open-flame or spark-emitting devices, storage of explosive and flammable materials, electrical installations, paint application, fire protection equipment, general care and cleanliness, and more.
The title of the 2006 edition of NFPA 312 adds the word “Conversion” to reflect the fact that conversion from one type or service to another is one of the common processes that a vessel may undergo during its operational life.
