SECTION 1 GENERAL
Section 1
1 Objective
The objective of this class programme (CP) is to provide a description for which the Society bases its
approval of manufacturers intending to supply semi-finished steel products in accordance with DNV-RU-SHIP
Pt.2 or other applicable standards provided by the Society.
2 Scope and application

This programme is applicable for the approval of material manufacturers of:
— steel making and semi-finished products
as referred in the Society's rules and standards. For a description of general requirements, conditions
and procedures related to the approval, see DNV-CP-0346 which shall be applied in combination with this
programme.
This programme is applicable for the approval of manufacturers of steelmaking and semifinished products
intended for further processing to products as indicated in Table 1 as given in DNV-RU-SHIP Pt.2, and
relevant parts of other applicable DNV rules and standards.
Table 1 Range of approval
Document code Application areas
DNV-RU-SHIP Pt.2 Ch.2 Metallic materials
DNV-OS-B101 Metallic materials
The programme covers the process of manufacturing liquid steel, cast semi-finished products (i.e. concast
slab, ingot) and partially hot-worked semi-finished products (i.e. blooms, bars etc.).
Approval is required for:
— each steel group (normal strength, higher strength, extra high strength etc.) or steel type (C and C-Mn,
alloy, stainless etc.)
— each product type (ingots, slabs, blooms, billets etc.
— dimension/weight of semi-finished products (weight for ingots and dimensions for continuously cast
products).
The product(s) used for approval testing (see Sec.3) will place limitations on the range of approval.
Approval will be limited to each steel grade, product type and processing route (steel making process, casting
method etc.) used to produce approval test samples.
Approval for one grade of steel may also cover approval of lower strength or toughness grades without
approval testing but based on approval principles as described in App.A. The following parameters are typical
manufacturing variables in processing route:
— steelmaking process (BOC, EAF etc.) and secondary refining (LF, VD, VAD or VOD etc.)
— deoxidation
— casting method (CC or IC).
When relevant approval may be given for steel grades according to relevant international standards for which
test scope shall be agreed with the Society on a case by case basis.

1.1 General
Test products shall be selected so that the testing will cover and qualify the full range of product types,
grades, processing route, dimensions, etc. for which approval is requested, see Sec.1 [2] and Sec.1 [3].
The test products shall represent typical chemical composition(s) for the products to be delivered, in
particular with respect to the specified Ceq or Pcm values and the grain refining and micro-alloying additions.
1.2 Extent of approval testing

Testing shall be carried out on two test products from two different heats for:
— each specific manufacturing processing route (e.g. steel making, casting)
— each kind of product (ingots, slabs, blooms/billets etc.)
— each grade.
The first heat shall represent maximum product dimension/weight and the second heat should represent an
average dimension and weight. The dimensions of the second heat may be replaced by a typical dimension/
weight of the manufacturer's product portfolio.
The products selected for testing shall represent:
— for ingot cast material: one test sample from the first ingot and the second test sample from the last ingot
from the ladle
— for continuous casting: one test from the beginning of the cast and the second test sample from material
poured when the tundish is nearly empty
— for multi-caster: full tests scope on a product from one caster, and reduced tests scope for the others. The
selection of the caster shall be based on the technical characteristics of the casters, as evaluated on case
by case basis by the Society.
Where two or more material grades shall be covered by the approval testing, the testing may, subject to
agreement with the Society, be reduced to one heat per steel type/grade per application area.
