These explanatory notes provide an example of the alternative
assessment of severe wind and rolling criterion (weather criterion)
based on a series of model tests following the Interim Guidelines
for the alternative assessment of the weather criterion contained
in MSC.1/Circ.1200, for better understanding
of the alternative procedures. Here the weather criterion specified
in paragraph 3.2 of the Codefootnote is
referred as "standard weather criterion", whereas the Interim Guidelines
(MSC.1/Circ.1200) are referred as
"Guidelines".
