1.1 本指南提供了水面船舶的推荐重量控制技术要求，并讨论了不同类型的重量估计、报告和重量控制程序。它包含一个重量分类，将通过标准化重量报告系统来帮助实现统一性。 1.2 本指南适用于以英寸-磅计量单位设计和建造的船舶，以及以国际单位制计量单位设计和建造的船舶。当文本中或本指南中包含的示例格式中显示或提及英寸-磅单位时，应理解，如果适用于以国际单位制设计和建造的船舶，则可以替换相应的国际单位制，前提是无论使用哪种系统，均应在船舶的所有重量控制报告文件中一致使用。 1.3 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 5.1 在建造船舶之前，了解船舶的重量和位置非常重要，以确保船舶在建造时具有正稳定性。只有在设计阶段和施工期间进行详细的重量估算，才能确保实现并保持正稳定性。

1.1 This guide provides recommended weight control technical requirements for surface ships and discusses different types of weight estimates, reports, and weight control procedures. It contains a weight classification that will assist in achieving uniformity by standardizing the weight-reporting system. 1.2 This guide is applicable to ships designed and constructed in inch-pound units of measurement and to ships designed and constructed in SI units of measurement. Whenever inch-pound units are shown or referred to in the text, or in example formats included in this guide, it is to be understood that corresponding SI units may be substituted if applicable to a ship designed and constructed in SI units, provided that whichever system is used, it is consistently used in all weight control reporting documentation for the ship. 1.3 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 5.1 It is important to know the amount of weight and its location before the ship is built to be sure that when it is built it will have positive stability. Only through detailed weight estimating in the design stage and during construction can one be ensured that positive stability will be achieved and retained.
