Framework

What is Naval Ship Assurance?
Naval Ship Assurance is the selection of a coherent set of requirements and standards and the method of verification of compliance against these, for the design and through-life management of Naval Ships.

What is the Framework?
The Naval Ship Assurance Framework defines a structure for the selection and application of requirements, standards and verification processes for the Assurance of Naval Ships.
The Naval Ship Assurance Framework has been created to assist project teams in more efficiently producing ship specifications and providing an assured product.

What is the NSASS role?
NSASS is developing the Naval Ship Assurance Framework to help make it coherent, comprehensive and clear. We are continuously monitoring its use and working to make it accessible to regulatory bodies, project teams and industry, as well as providing guidance for navigating it effectively.

This work involves:

• supporting the development of and proposing technical authorship changes to the following key document sets within the framework:
• General Naval Specification
• Naval Ship Code
• Lloyd's Register's Naval Ship Rules
• Key Naval Standards
• proposing changes to the Framework
• getting involved in assurance development forums
• providing advice to project teams, and
• incorporating lessons learned.
