Compliance with the IMO PSPC is required by the IACS Common Structural Rules for Bulk Carriers and for Oil Tankers for ships subject to those Rules which are contracted for construction between ship builder and ship owner on or after 8 December 2006. For application of the IMO PSPC; IACS issued Procedural Requirement No. 34 (Tanker CSR CI#72; Bulker CSR CI#19)
