Technical Contributions Forum (forum.iacs.org.uk)
IACS maintains a subscription-based online Technical Contributions Forum (?IACS
TC Forum?) to provide Classification Societies (as defined in Annex 4 to the IACS Charter) (CSs) with a platform for
publication of comments and discussion with other CSs (including both IACS
Members and non-IACS CSs) relating to IACS' technical work programmes. The
subscription is set to recover the reasonable costs of establishing and
maintaining the IACS TC Forum only. The IACS TC Forum shows all technical work
items leading to new technical IACS Resolutions and, as soon as they become
available, the initial draft related to those technical work items.
The work programme is available on the Forum for anyone to view without a subscription or needing to login as a Forum-registered CS.
The following documents cover the procedures concerning non-IACS CS access to the TC Forum. Some are included in IACS Procedures Volume 1.
