Unified Requirements (UR)

IACS has established two Unified Requirements (UR), UR E26 for ships and UR E27 for on-board systems and equipment, as minimum requirements for cyber resilience, which is the capability to reduce the occurrence and mitigate the effects of cyber incidents due to cyber-attacks.

The URs have been applied to new ships contracted for construction on and after 1 July 2024. In line with this, ClassNK has incorporated these requirements in Part X of its ‘Rules for the Survey and Construction of Steel Ships’, which is about computer systems, and ‘Guidance for the Approval and Type Approval of Materials and Equipment for Marine Use.

Rules and guidance

ClassNK examined the products based on the mentioned rules and guidance. Upon confirming that they comply with the prescribed requirements, a type of approval certificate was issued.

ClassNK has set up a portal site aggregating related information to support clients in smoothly responding to requirements relating to cyber resilience and has been providing information through it.
