Verordnung der Bundesministerin für Verkehr, Innovation und Technologie über Schiffsüberprüfungs- und -besichtigungsorganisationen (Klassen-Verordnung)

This Austrian regulation establishes the legal framework for organisations responsible for inspecting and surveying ships, commonly known as classification societies. It ensures that ships operating in Austrian waters meet necessary safety and technical standards through certified inspection processes. This affects ship owners, maritime operators, and the organisations providing technical surveys and certifications for vessels.
