1 Scope
This document specifies dimensions, materials, quality of manufacture and finish for guardrails and stanchions fitted on exposed freeboard and superstructure decks of cargo ships to prevent personnel falling overboard or to lower decks. It is not applicable to guardrails fitted near compasses.

3.1
guardrail
construction comprising stanchions (12). rails (13) topraiLc (14) and stays (1)
Note 1 to entry: See Figure 1 and Figure 4.
3.2
stanchion
principal vertical structural member of a guard rail (311) system
3.3
rail
horizontal member between stanchions (12)
3.4
toprail
uppermost rail (13) in a series of rails
3.5
stay
secondary structural support attached to stanchions (12) and deck
5.4 Stays
5.4.1 Stays shall be made of flat bars of 60 mm x 9 mm, or of flat bars having a section modulus at least equal to that of 60 mm x 9 mm flat bars.
5.4.2 The size and/or section modulus of the stays may be reduced if the sum of the section modulus of the actual stanchions and stays at onboard, by using the calculation method given in Annex A, is greater than the sum of the section modulus specified in 52 and SAl..
5.4.3 A stay is not needed on every stanchion and shall be fitted depending on the length of the guardrail and the shipboard conditions.
5.4.4 The stay shall be welded to stanchions at about mid-height and under an angle of approximately 30°.
5.5 Fairlead positions
Typical arrangements of guardrails at fairlead positions are shown in Figure 4 for guidance.
6 Quality of manufacture and finish
6.1 Guardrails and stanchions shall be free from any defects and imperfections likely to cause injury to persons using them.
6.2 The rails, stanchions and stays shall be given protective finishes appropriate to their material and to their shipboard location. If galvanizing is applied, it shall be carried out in accordance with ISO 1461.BS ISO 5480 pdf download.
