Section 11 provides the specific requirements that are applicable to manned submersibles. ? Section 12 provides the specific requirements that are applicable to diving systems. Several changes were made to provide consistency with ASME PVHO-1-2007. Also@ some requirements have been revised for clarity and others to more accurately reflect actual practice.

The effective date of each technical change is shown in parentheses at the end of the subsection/paragraph titles within the text of each Section.
