Since then, it has been fully realized that it is indispensable that we provide a technical standard of high reliability which is to be supported by incessant examination of practice and theory with a view to maintain quality in the highest. Consequently, through a series of deliberating conferences consisting of ship builders, classification societies and professors of universities, this standard of the quality of hull has been completed. As this booklet is intended mainly for shipbuilding practice and accuracy of products, this is titled “Japan Shipbuilding Quality Standard” (J.8.9.S.). With regard to the standard of welding quality, it is excluded from this standard with an understanding to use “Standard of Quantitative Inspection and Control for Hull Appearance” published by the Japan Welding Society, Shipbuilding Division, Welding Subcommittee. As a matter of course, these kinds of standards should be incessantly tested for their availability with ever changing technical innovation and be altered accordingly and in fact itis expected that commentary on each article shall be added supplementartily to the 1965 edition. ‘This standard, we fully expect, will contribute to guidance in Japanese Shipbuilding practice and will play an important role in producing further ‘progress in this field. Finally, we acknowledge with gratitude every member of the committee who cooperated and endeavored to bring the standard to completion.
